Question:

I need at least twelve sks Yakima cores keyed the same. I have three sets of five coded the same,135, 143, or 154. Can I buy a set of eight to match anyone of these key codes? Can I get two sets of eight keyed the same?

Hi David!

I do have an option for you, but the SKS kits (like the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 8) # Y07208 you found) are not able to be keyed alike to specific key/core numbers, unfortunately. So with that, said, check out the part numbers I have below:

Replacement SKS Lock Core for Yakima Racks and Carriers - A135 # Y8771-A135 (key # Y8772-A135)
Replacement SKS Lock Core for Yakima Racks and Carriers - A143 # Y8771-A143 (key # Y8772-A143)
Replacement SKS Lock Core for Yakima Racks and Carriers - A154 # Y8771-A154 (key # Y8772-A154)

You can order as many of these as your heart desires and they will always be the core number you need. I also included the part number for the matching key (just in case), but you will probably want to also grab the Control Key for Yakima Same Key System # Y8007835 if you don't already have one. This is what's used to actually remove and insert the cores into the items.

Speaking of which, what are you going to be using these for? That's a lot of lock cores you are needing.
