Plain and Simple

Rating:****

They are nothing special, until you consider that they keep your stuff from being stolen. They work like they should, and I haven't had any serious problems with my old ones either. sometimes the key won't turn, but take the key out and re-insert and it has been working for 5+ years now and just bought another set for my new Yakima boat rack. works well.

I find this item quite useful and easy to use. The product came within ten days. I would recommend it to any one who has a roof bike rack. Although this item is by Yakima it works well with my Saris bike rack. The instructions for putting the lock cores in were easy to follow.

Simple. Great

Rating:*****

The SKS Lock Cores are super simple to use. Just insert the key and stick them in. I used this set of two with my King Cobra Bike Rack. The bike rack only took one lock, so I'm going to use the other one with my old ski rack.

Durable

Rating:*****

After riding around in the weather for a couple of years, the locks opened right up when I decided to switch the rack to my new truck. Other locks would have seized in the conditions these locks endure.

So far, so good..

Rating:****

Haven't had them long enough to comment on durability. Initially hesitated to purchase because of the added expense ($35), but now glad I did because the added deterrent provides peace of mind.

Easy styl'n

easy to install! added piece of mind when getting beers after a good day on the hill. A little pricey but better than replacing your gear!

The locks were very easy to install and work great. I haven't been boarding yet so I'm not sure about weathering, but so far so good.

good idea

Rating:***

it is a good to have a core system where you are able to buy more cores that mach up with the key you already have. I have had durability issues with them though. 2 out of the six that i have for my ski/bike rack just wont turn and thats only after a couple years of hard use.
