FYI: Solution if you lose keys to your Yakima core locks

Post by Tim Eubanks » Wed Nov 12, 2014 3:30 pm

Picked up a rocket box whose owners had lost keys. Quick web search directed me to seek out a lock smith who could pick the lock, then keys could be made. Bills Lock and Safe in North Little Rock was able to get locks open and make keys for about $20. So don't dispair if your keys to towers or other Yakima toys come up missing.

Bill's can also make keys for your cores.

Can it rain soon? Please?

I took a rocket box to a lock smith in Fort Smith for a similar situation only for her to discover one of my other Yakima keys fit the lock. So always try your other keys or even other folks keys.

I tried about half a dozen keys. Most went into lock but none would turn the mechanism. We also learned that not all locksmiths are created equal. None of the guys that work at the store (making keys I guess) could open the locks. One of the field techs gotter done.
