Yakima SKS Lock Cores Replacement 2-Pack — Same Key System, Tool-Free Install, Includes Control Key

These are Yakima SKS lock cores sold as a 2-pack, providing matching replacement cores and keys to secure compatible Yakima rack accessories.

If you need replacement or additional locks for your Yakima roof rack, bike mount, cargo box, or other lockable accessories, the SKS (Same Key System) cores let you match keys across multiple products. This offering includes two SKS cores and matching keys plus a control key, installs without tools, and is covered by Yakima’s limited lifetime warranty. Multiple pack sizes are available if you want to key several components alike.

How do I install these Yakima SKS cores?

Installation is tool-free and usually takes only a few minutes per core. You remove the old core from the lock housing, insert the new SKS core, and test the key to ensure smooth operation. Follow Yakima’s instructions included with the cores for step-by-step guidance.

• Tool-free swap for most Yakima lock housings
• Simple remove-and-insert process with quick key test
• Includes a control key for managing multiple cores
• Compatible with all lockable Yakima products when using SKS cores

Will these cores work with my existing Yakima locks and keys?

Yes — SKS cores are designed to match Yakima’s Same Key System so one key can operate multiple components keyed alike. If you buy cores keyed to an existing SKS set, they will open the same locks. If you need unique keys or additional keyed-alike cores, different pack sizes are available.

• Designed for Yakima SKS-compatible locks
• Available keyed-alike to match existing Yakima keys
• Replacement keys and additional cores sold separately
• Control key included for easy rekeying and management

What sizes and pack options are available, and how many keys come with them?

The product shown is a 2-pack of SKS lock cores with matching keys and a control key. Yakima also offers larger multi-core packs if you need to key several accessories the same way. Each core includes its matching key; the control key helps manage or rekey multiple cores.

• Standard 2-pack contains two cores plus matching keys and a control key
• Larger options: 4-pack, 6-pack, 8-pack, and 10-pack for multiple components
• Replacement single cores and extra keys available separately
• Each pack sizes saves time when keying multiple products alike

What protection and warranty does Yakima provide for these lock cores?

While lock cores increase security for your Yakima gear, they are one part of a broader theft-deterrence strategy. Yakima supports these SKS cores with a Limited Lifetime Warranty so you can trust replacement availability and manufacturer support if issues arise. Keep original receipts and register your product when required for warranty details.

• Included in Yakima’s Love it 'Till You Leave It Limited Lifetime Warranty
• Manufacturer support for replacement cores and keys
• Practical theft-deterrent when used with Yakima lockable accessories
• Keep records for warranty claims and product support

Who is this for: these SKS lock cores suit Yakima owners who need replacement locks or want multiple rack accessories keyed alike — ideal for commuters, weekend adventurers, and anyone who stores bikes, cargo boxes, or mounts on their vehicle. If you need a single additional key, a matched pair of cores, or a larger keyed-alike set to simplify access across many Yakima products, this 2-pack is a quick, tool-free way to keep your gear secured and consistent.
