Quick FAQ Answer

Thule roof racks generally come with two to four locks that utilize a key to securely attach the rack to your car. Thule rack systems generally come with two keys in case you misplace one, you still can operate your rack system. 

The key is the size of a normal house key and can be added to your key chain to take with you when you leave the car and your rack system.
