Installed in minutes. Flawless. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install, easy to use, worth the expense *by on Reviewed in the United States July 28, 2016* Yakima SKS lock cores for Yakima SKS-equipped bars. Perfect fit, naturally. I appreciate the included control key.I see some complaints about these locks being too flimsy. Let me provide some perspective: I have a set of Yak bars that I got from a vehicle in a junkyard. The bars were locked onto the junker, but I still got them without having to break the Yakima towers (the same can't be said for the junker's roof rails). When I got the bars home, I drilled-out the cores and replaced them with a set ordered here on Amazon. So the bars can be removed even if they're locked. You have to dismantle or destroy the car's roof rack to do it, but it can be done. But how many thieves out there really want to make that much noise and movement for that much time? Sure, you can use a claw hammer to ruin the tower lock directly and get the bar off, but a thief isn't going to want to sell broken bars.The best situation is to get 4 lock cores and lock both sides of each bar. That would make it a major headache to steal the bars. If you stick with just one core per bar, put one lock on each side of your roof; for example, lock the front bar on the left side of the roof and the rear bar on the right side of the roof. That will force a thief to take twice as much time to pry the bars off. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yakima Locks for all devices *by on Reviewed in the United States July 4, 2026* Excellent locks from Yakima that work across their products. ## Frequently Bought Together - YAKIMA - SKS Lock Cores for Yakima Car Rack System Components - YAKIMA - JetStream Bar Aerodynamic Crossbars for Roof Rack Systems - Yakima Rooftop Upright Bike Mount, Car & SUV Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike, FrontLoader --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17551881-yakima-sks-lock-cores-for-yakima-car-rack-system-components](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17551881-yakima-sks-lock-cores-for-yakima-car-rack-system-components) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
