Once it s inserted fully a quarter turn clockwise should lock in place the mechanism for instance one of the four feet of a car roof rack.

Press your finger against the lock cylinder to keep it in place and use your other hand to pull out the master key. Open the doors on both sides of the vehicle below where the roof bar is mounted. Unlock the outer housing or lockable knob at the base of the feet using the thule key that came with the set. Obtain a master key.

Insert the master key into the cylinder all the way until you hear a click.
