Evening all, i know this may be a long shot but ive just got a new car, well new to me and it has paddy hopkirk lockable roof rack on it. thing is the seller said hed post me the key but guess what.... no key. now i dont mind the rack but theres a ladder rack on the top of it, 2 long bolts about 8 inches long sticking straight up that cant be removed with the rack on the roof. the number on the lock is 025 does anyone have or know where i might get a key for this, even just to borrow to remove the bolts and get a key cut.
Many thanks in advance, any advice gratefullly recieved.

Hi Ste. If you google Paddy Hopkirk roof bars of roof racks there seem to be plenty of sellers - including Halfords. Have you tried contacting them and asking them about spare keys?

Halfords don't sell Paddy Hopkirk, as such, anymore - though their own value range bars are Paddy hopkirk (to be precise all the bars etc in cluding Thule are sorced from exactly the sme company!!)
I would still give Halfords a try (take the car so they can have a look) though as you never know what's in the Parts tool kit or still hanging about in the warehouse.------------- Keely :-))

It's a bit worrying though,anyone wandering past your roof bars/box etc can have a key for it next day!------------- Silence is golden

Only basic locks but not anyone would have a key unless they went away with the code to get one.A screwdriver would force it open in no time so no big deal about the keys,merely a deterrent.
