Yakima SKS Lock Cores

The SKS technology allows you to replace the individual lock cores on all your Yakima racks and accessories with a matching set. This means you can use one single key to operate your bike rack, cargo box, and roof bars, eliminating the need to carry a bulky ring of different keys.

Yes, these cores are designed to fit all Yakima products that feature a lockable core housing. Whether your rack is brand new or several years old, as long as it is a lockable Yakima accessory, these cores will work.

Installation is straightforward and typically requires no tools. You simply use the control key provided with the set to slide the new core into the lock housing until it clicks into place.

Yes, every lock core within a single pack is keyed identically. If you purchase multiple packs, however, they will likely have different key codes, so it is best to buy the specific pack size that covers all the accessories you intend to lock at once.

Each key has a specific code stamped on it. We strongly recommend writing this code down and storing it in a safe place, such as your phone or a wallet, so you can easily order replacement keys from Yakima if they are ever misplaced.
