Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
Please only type in your KEY CODE, as you will only receive 1 (ONE) code cut key in the United States. That's all there is to it! Once the lock core has been removed from the housing, the original code (stamped) can be found on either side of the lock core or on the original key. The original YAKIMA key codes range from A131 to A155.
Please use the CUSTOMIZE NOW button and ONLY TYPE IN YOUR KEY CODE (Letter 'A' plus three numbers from the above-mentioned code series) before placing your order. Thank you very much!
For the United States, we offer free shipping with a tracking number. Only customers are allowed!
To get the Removal Tool (D1251 or 8007835 / 8531251), go to CUSTOMIZE NOW and type in CTRL (control key for core/lock/cylinder removal).

Questions & Answers

If you don't know the key code, how do you get a key that is locked?

You'll have to unlock the door. You can take the rack to a Yakima dealer who has a set of keys (call ahead to make sure they can assist you). You could also bring it to a lock smith. The blank hey can be used to remove the core once it has been unlocked; the key code is on the core's side. br>br>Some might suggest drilling out the core's center to remove it, then replacing the core and key. Because you risk permanently damaging or ruining the rack, this should only be used as a last resort.

Is this a viable alternative to the A148? Thanks. ?

I haven't decided yet. This website appears to indicate that it is accessible. "Y. a Yakima Key for SKS Roof Racks, Carriers, and Crossbars (Codes A131-A131-A131-A131-A131-A131-A131-A131-A131-A131-A131-A A155 is an acronym for A180)". Other sites, on the other hand, do not include this crucial digit. You could try ordering just one key to see if it works. I'm still waiting for my key, which I requested and typed in. We'll see if it's a direct copy or not. I hope this has been of assistance.

What exactly is the purpose of the control key?

"Control key" is a term I'm unfamiliar with. I went to a local YAKIMA dealer, who had a couple of key rings with at least 100 different keys cut for the product. It took several tries to find the correct key. I scribbled down the key number because he didn't sell keys, and then went online to see who was selling the key number that corresponded to my rig. Don't try to figure out what number you have by guessing.

Today I received my a144 key. It fits into the cylinder but does not rotate. What is the best way for me to get in touch with the seller?

Return to the "Returns" section. At the top of the page, there is a tab labeled "Orders." To find the transaction, click it and scroll through your orders. To return or replace items, go to the "Problem with order" tab or the "Return or Replace items" tab.br>FYI: There are about 100 different key cuts; all keys fit in the cylinder, but only one of the 100 will turn the lock. To determine the correct key, look for a local dealer who has a key set.

The fit is perfect, and the price is very reasonable
5/5

These are fantastic keys. They function and fit as if they were made in a factory. I dug out my old barrel and found the number stamped on it; I entered it into the seller page, and a week later, I had new keys. At $60 for a new barrel and key set, this is a much better deal. The keys also have a code printed on them, so you can get more without having to figure out the code.

Let's get started
5/5

I'm not sure what to say. It's a key, and it's functional. (The code functioned perfectly. ) ) Two keys arrived ahead of schedule, costing less and arriving faster than my local rack shop. All in all, a fantastic deal.

It's just as good as the original
5/5

My yakima SKS cores, which I'd had for a long time, worked perfectly. For a hard to find item, this was a fantastic find.

Customer service from XLNT is excellent! OK - I misread the numbers on the lock cylinders and ordered the wrong keys, but this seller's customer service is what sets it apart
5/5

I was able to send them back to be replaced with ease. There were no queries. I would definitely buy from them again.

It's pointless
3/5

It's pointless. When the order was placed, I provided all of the required information. Cutting bits (teeth) on new keys were nowhere near as good as those on the original keys they were designed to replace. The new keys did not work in the Yakima Core Locks, which was not surprising. I couldn't get it to unlock or lock. I explained the inadequacy of the duplicate keys as well as my dissatisfaction with the product and requested a refund. I have yet to receive a response or a refund.

All of them are appropriate and functional
5/5

Because my used cargo box only came with one key, I bought two of these. They are in perfect working order and arrived on or before the scheduled delivery date. Quite a bit.

It is simple to choose and use
5/5

The correct key for our Yakima roof box was simple to find: Look for a Yakima key on Amazon, then copy the key number from an old key and paste it into the Yakima key website. The key was in fact functional.

Works
5/5

I needed a new key because my old one was bent. This was the cheapest one I could find on the internet, and it's fantastic.
