Review on πŸ” Secure your Yakima Car Rack System Components with YAKIMA - SKS Lock Cores: Ultimate Theft Protection by Timothy Weems

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What could be nicer than handing your expensive roof rack accessories to a thief?

Bought these new SKS locks for my used Yakima setup. Installation was amazingly simple and light for my bars and fairing. I agree with other reviewers that a determined thief will be able to pick these locks in the right place with little effort. But what they offer is a first deterrent for the casual thief who doesn't understand how they work. If the thief needs extra time to think about stealing me or gives him a moment's rest, well, I guess it's money well spent. I would give 5 stars for a more reliable system and/or if this key lock system was about 20% cheaper. I have to give Yakima credit for creating a locking system that can be used on almost any of their accessories.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
