1: Thule Lock Cylinder - 8 Pack

Thule Lock Cylinder - 8 Pack

just fine

worked perfectly on my thule criterium roof rack. took 5 minutes to install two of them, one that locks the bike rack down to the roof rack and one that locks the arm that holds the bike in place. They seem quite easy to pick, but at least they give me some piece of mind when i have to leave my car unattended.

=========================================================================

It works!

When everything came, I read the instructions, called my sister, went to her home. We took all the parts out of the boxes, read the instructions, followed them and I have a Hullivator on my car. We tried her kayak, which is the same as mine, and it worked.
I have taken the top off until I'm going to put the boat on.
It is a great "shoulder saver".

=========================================================================

work great and stand up well to wear

I have six of these on my rack system and they have stood up well to many seasons of year-round wear. Don't lose the blank "change" key that comes with them or you will have difficulty removing the cylinder if you change equipment. (You can always push in the last tumbler with a screwdriver to remove if you already have access to the inside of the lock.)

=========================================================================

Quality product

These locks easly fit into your Thule rack. Installation takes seconds. You have to love Thule quality.

=========================================================================

Overpackers Rejoice!

Have owned a Thule roof rack for years and always attached it to our Jeep's existing roof rack. However, we sold the jeep last summer and were disappointed to learn that our new car's roof rack did not come with the cross bars. We purchased the Thule cross bars, foot pack, and locks and loaded up our car for the Jersey shore. Worked like a charm. Installation was easy; the biggest issue was moving the feet in tandom to get everything even (the existing bars were curved to contour the car). In a nutshell: my husband didn't work too long at the installation and any complaining was minimal (if any) so, for us, that is a success story! Upon our return from vacation, I wondered if the locks were really necessary given how weighted down the Thule was with luggage; however, better safe than sorry and it was nice not having to worry about one more thing that could go wrong! Worth the money.

=========================================================================

Locks to protect your base system

What else to say - Thule doesn't provides it as part of the system. They sell them as add-ons for obvious reasons to make money.
If you are putting money into their expensive base system; you will obviously fear of getting it stolen and will be motivated or fearful enough to buy the locks.

So, I bought the locks and had to use little pressure and mechanical sleight of hand to fit them.

I bet, after a tiring, struggling and brainy (if you are not mechanically inclined) installation of the whole system, no-one would ever be willing to take off their rack systems; Only time I see them taking them off is when I need to dispose them off.

=========================================================================

plain simple

It is what it says, installs the way it says and does what it is designed to do.

=========================================================================

Useful, but secure? just barely

The lock cores insert easily in any Thule rack and can be moved between devices if you have multiple. They are "better than nothing" and are a key deterrent for any rack.

That said, they do not strike me as being that secure. I feel like a resourceful thief would defeat them very quickly - whether it be by simply ripping the core out, or maintaining complete set of keys.

I would still purchase them again, but certainly wouldn't go so far as leave my bikes on the rack in say, a hotel parking lot overnight.
