Yakima SKS Lock Cores - 8 pack

These cores are easy to install and remove using the "blank" key. I bought these back in 2000 and they have never failed. The locks also have a dirt guard.

Note: Do not throw away your blank key, you will need it to remove your cores if you want to put them into another Yakima product. I just switch out my cores when I switch from bike to kayak mounts instead of buying more cores.

I've used my racks for kayaks, and general transport and have always found the products to be well designed. I have to admit that I was really skeptical about the way the bike attached and if it would really hold. The bike becomes part of the car and if you move the bike (even pulling on it with all your might) the car moves and the bike stays firmly attached. Easy to install and use.

So far, the Yakima system I put together from 3 different suppliers has worked just fine. I bought most components from this site as was pleased with the price. The system is fairly easy to setup and feels sturdy enough to not worry about putting my new Cannondale on. I certainly would purchase this whole setup again.

An internet search led me to this site. Good price on the merchandise. I received exactly what I ordered and on time. Great experience and will definitely shop here again. Thanks for the professional service!

Found the Yakima lock cores here for much less then local stores. They were the real deal and worked like a charm. I saved close to 50%!!
