can these be locked onto the side rails?

There is no lock. They attach using a tension mechanism tightened with a hex screw (driver included in the box). Very sturdy once in place, they are not going anywhere once you have them tightened down.

Yes, these are locked onto the rails using a clamping system on the cross bar and an Allen head screw that tightens them down and squeezes them on the side rails. The crossbar system securely holds our Thule roof coffin on top of our CrossTrek at speeds of 80 miles an hour

I'm not a 100% sure. They have an expandable nut that goes inside your bars to hold them on. I would guess no.

NO. These towers attach ONLY to existing raised side rails. PLEASE use the Fit Guide on Yakima's website for specific fit questions. Thanks!

If I understood you correctly, yes you can. All the supports are not fixed in any way. You can adjust the height and width quite easily. I screwed down the supports to my wood rails at ease. I am not at all handy - if I can do it, I bet you can too.

Hello Michael Hopson, If your stock rails are not taller that two (2) inches, they should work just fine. The clamps on the carbon steel locking cross rails are right at 2 inches. It may slip and come loose if you try to clamp them on rails taller than 2 inches. They are heavy duty and can take a lot of weight. Check the weight rating on the stock rails so that you do no overload them. Good luck.

I would think you can by cutting a wood block to fit like a post and attach it to the block as I don't think a direct screwing to a flat rail would work. These are great lifts. Very happy

As long as the locking brackets are perpendicular to the to the hinge side. You will have to fabricate a way to mount the brackets on an angle.

If when you say side rails you mean side rail caps then yes, you can leave them on. The support system for the BakFlip only goes up to the rail pockets and does not cover them.

i would not advise it. they are flat on the bottom, no way to interlock them.

Hi Robert . . . no they are NOT lockable . . . but you could wrap a "chain" around the unit to lock it for security purposes. This is a solid unit.

The side rails and center rails have routed openings which the ends of the slats fit into. So the individual slats are not individually screwed on, however, there is no way for them to move out of place.

I agree. The side rails come as part of the main frame. There is no way of taking one off.

No, they can't. Each side frame is a single piece, with slots for the two racks.

I don't know for sure but I don't see why you wouldn't. All you need to hold one on each side is a hole in long bar (a person could drill these) for the bars to lock into.

No. These are running boards, not rock rails. They are held on with bolts and brackets not welded to the frame. I don't know of ANY running boards you could do that with.

They don't fit flush-mounted side rails. Believe me. I bought them and had to send them back. Take a close look at the picture.

Yes. the bottom rails must be fastened down with a minimum of 2 screws or bolts per side.
