Description

Cheaper than replacing your equipment.

Thule Lock Cylinders are arguably the most important part of your rack, that is, the part that keeps all your gear safe and secure on the rack. Thule Lock Cylinders are designed in one size to fit many Thule rack parts, so if a situation necessitates new locks, you can buy one package of Lock Cylinders and lock your entire rack with a single key.

These are essential if you dont have locks for your rack. It is nice to have everything locked up.

Will these locks fit the 450R Rapid Crossroad feet? When I ordered the feet and cross rails I didn't realize they were without locks.

hey mai5680939 you can get cylinder packs from backcountry for your rack however if I were you I would purchase an eight pack that way whatever you buy for your rack later on can all be keyed the same. Easy install and gives you peace of mind. I have eight myself between the bike rack 2ea, snow board rack 2ea, and 4ea for the rack to the vehicle. good luck, hope this helps, and you can't go wrong with BC, they are awesome.

Customer service is 5 star outstanding. I called about a defective clamshell bike lock on my roofrack and I wanted to purchase a new one. Instead they shipped me a new one at NO CHARGE! In this day and age alot of companies rip you off for what ever they can. NOT THULE. I've been using their products for 18 plus years and they're one company you can TRUST.

How do I remove the lock cylinder from the clamshell type head on a Thule bike roof rack?

Your locks should have come with a blank key. With the lock unlocked, you insert the blank key and the cylinder should pull right out. You may have to give it a quick blast of WD40, but it's a pretty simple operation.

Hi - can I order a specific number to match what I already have?

To obtain lock cylinders keyed to match those that you already have, call Thule customer support with the number on one of your locks. They will send you as many locks as you want. Thule dealers sell matching lock sets in packs of 2, 4, 6 & 8. However, lock set packs not ordered directly from Thule will come with their own keys and not necessarily match yours.

I bought an old Thule snowboard rack from a friend and he'd lost the old locks - got these and was able to quickly remove and install the new locks to match the rest of my Thule set up. The set DOES include the change key in case you are wondering as well as two keys.

The installation and use of the lock cylinders have been been a breeze. No problems. They have worked flawlessly! I certainly highly recommend you get them, especially if you leave your car in remote areas as we do. We have them on two Thule Hullavators, and figure the minimal cost for these lock cylinders far offset the potential cost of replacing these kayak racks.

I racked my 1999 Nissan Sentra and the rack looks very good on my little green car! I have a bunch of different racks and I keep buying more and I have all of my locks on 1 key so I don't have to worry about loosing keys. I would suggest buying the set of 10 locks because you will eventually buy more rack stuff and will need to buy more locks like I ended up doing. You will want 4 locks for the Fit Kit/Towers, and then more for your cargo box, ski rack, bike rack, kayak rack, etc... You can special order more lock cores that fit your key directly from Thule, but it will cost you a little bit more $.

Say they installed easy. But I can't get them out I tried everything. But guess what a drill works. They need some better engineering in my opinion.

You have to have a Thule Universal change key to remove the locks. Obviously they don't just fall out on their own, that wouldn't work so well would it?

Some retailer that specialize in rack sell replacement keys. Do a web search for "thule replacement key" and you will find them.

Don't get me wrong, i love when people like my bikes, just not when they like them enough to steal them. Fortunately with Thule lock cylinders i don't have to worry about this. These lock cylinders were a breeze to install on my Thule Eschelon bike rack, and keep my bikes locked safe and sound while i am away from the car. In my opinion these are a necessity to ensure your stuff stays yours. Only four stars though because i think they should be included with the bike rack.

can i use these on the actual thule box?...

The Thule roof boxes should already come with lock cylinders installed.

the box was about 11 years old and didn't come with the locks. but for those out there with old boxes, the lock cylinders for sale here do pop into the opening mechanism. you just pop out the little black plug and insert these, then lock your stuff and don't worry about theft!!!
