How to Pick a Yakima Ridgeback SKS Lock (lost key)

[@dovetunes]

Thank you for making this video! It was very clear and entertaining, too. I followed these steps exactly and it worked like a charm. Saved me some $ and trouble after buying one of these used with a missing key. My fav part: "now you are a bona fide cat burglar" 😂😂😂

That's great, I'm glad it worked out! If I recall correctly, that was my exact problem with this thing too. Bought it online used -- but it was sent with no key.

now where do I order new lock cylinder with keys?

[@Bootstrappin]

I got my lock core with key off of eBay, but both Yakima and Amazon have these. If you're near one, I'm pretty sure REI actually stocks these. yakima.com/products/sks-lock-cores amzn.to/45S18uX

@@rockyblacky3667 REI is a sporting goods store in the U.S. Basically, like I said in the video -- pick your lock into the unlocked position and remove the cylinder by pressing on the 5th wafer. When that's done, you should be able to find the lock number. Go on eBay or Yakima, and order the corresponding set of keys with the same lock number/code.

@Bootstrappin Thank you so much for taking a time and letting me understand!

This only works if you can get the cylinder out. Didn't help me.
