Hi all, I’ve lost they keys for a Thule bike rack, there is no number stamped on the lock, any ideas how I find out which key might fit? Thanks in advance.

That’s weird, the number should be stamped on the face of the lock. Mine is

Not on this one, apparently it’s on the side of the barrel. Both of the locks are locked, I’m thinking I might need to try to pick it or drill it out.

Probably quite easy to pick, almost certainly a wafer lock which you can "rake", usually a Snowman pick.
I got this set of amazon, my 11you Daughter and I have all sorts of fun picking locks now.

I recently drilled out my locks and replaced with a set off ebay, worked a treat and I now have 7 spare keys. I tried getting replacement keys but they didnt work. Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

Thanks carbore, I ordered the set off amazon and managed to pick the lock out of the housing to reveal the key number, new key on order. Didn’t take long the pick the practice padlock, good little set, the kids are trying it now. Regards Lee

Hi, glad that helped.
Its a bit scary how easy it can be, I picked all the locks that "secured" my out buildings in the first 2 days of having that set! Disco 3: Lotus Elise S1: Ferguson T20: Audi A2

I would still suggest swapping the locks for the price. New locks and lots of spare keys. Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey
