Thule Lock Cylinders are arguably the most important part of your rack, that is, the part that keeps all your gear safe and secure on the rack. Thule Lock Cylinders are designed in one size to fit many Thule rack parts, so if a situation necessitates new locks, you can buy one package of Lock Cylinders and lock your entire rack with a single key.
Bottom Line: Cheaper than replacing your equipment.
I use my locks every day pretty much to lock my new skis on my roof rack. I feel comfy knowing no one is gonna snatch them. Never had any problems with them freezing up.
Thule allows you to purchase more lock cylanders and keys at these pages: http://www.thuleracks.com/product_locks.asp?Lock=true&type=thule and http://www.thuleracks.com/product_locks.asp?Key=true&type=thule
This is a no brainer! With people out there today, the amount you spent on the rack, and the amount you spent on whatever the rack is holding this is worth every penny!
I can't believe no one has answered your question. There is no master key. All you need is the number (N###) from the lock core to order new keys. Contact Rack Attack at 1-888-399-7225 for help
It really gives me peace of mind just to know my stuff is locked up. I purchased a hullavator and its expensive and when i go out kayaking i want to know my hullavator will stay safe on my truck while i am gone.
The only bad thing is that locks don't come with Thule parts. These locks are awesome, I was able to install them on the feet to attached to the bars without help in less than 5 minutes for all four! If you can afford the extra locks then you can have some for other thule racks you might install so you can just have one key. It's worth buying locks, you don't want your rack or your gear stolen!
Like I wrote over on my ski carrier review, you definitely should buy MORE lock-cores than the current number of locks you have. This way when you pick up another carrier (for your other car, or another sport) you can use the same key! These are seemless to install and give great peace of mind.
I bought the Crossroad Railing foot pack, LB 50 load bars, 2 Peloton bike racks, Frontier ES cargo box & an 8 pack of locks.
When I arrived to pick it up from the shipper, the Frontier ES would not fit inside my Subaru to take it home. So, raining as it was, I got to mount the feet, bars and cargo box right in the parking lot.
I sat in the car while reading the directions. Then, within 15 minutes, feet, bars and box were on, and I was headin' home.
It went on in a hurry and I've had no need to tweak the fit over the last month. The Peloton bike racks installed just as quickly, and the locks drop right in.
I used these on my Big Mouth bike rack. They were super easy to install and secure the rack perfectly by locking the bike to the rack, and the rack to the bars. Another quality product from Thule.
If your looking at these locks, you know what they are. This site has some of the best prices on Thule locks (I've checked); they're customer service is second to none. Shipping was Fast. If you've got Thule equipment and you want to keep it safe HERE YOU GO!
what can be said about lock cores? the key has a nice plastic head, and the locks come in a cool little metal box (like an altoid mint container). it's these little details that make thule a superior setup. oh, and the price fluctuates a lot. i found these were even cheaper than buying used. go figure.
