Thule Lock Cylinders

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.

Two road trips later, couldn't be happier!

Factory fit in my Thule rack, snowboard carriers, etc.. A must have if you dont want your stuff stolen. But one BIG recomendation... Buy a big 8 or 10 pack, even if you dont need them right now. This way everytime you buy a new rack accessory you will still only need to carry one key cause tey will all be the same. If you dont, then you will wind up having to carry 3 or 4 different keys everywhere.

They work on all of Thule's racks, I have a T2 hitch rack and then a roof rack and I just bought a big box of these and they work on all of them. If someone wants to steal it they still can, but these will slow them down. They will basically have to cut the rack as picking these locks will be tough

It does its job, but hey, its a lock, I cant love a lock

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!

Not locking your board or bike to your rack, and your rack to your ride, just invites trouble. Have peace of mind when you pop in for beers on the way back home. The Thule Lock Cylinders are a great theft deterrant, and as the other reviewer mentioned, why not get a few extra so if you get a new mount you can still use one key for it all.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
