Throttled Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I have a top box. It has a lock attached to a spring attached to a hook which, when the box is closed locks automatically. So you can lock things in it by accident.Yesterday I did exactly that. Out of annoyance I jammed by bike ignition key into the lock and turned it and it opened, leaving no damage and the lock still useable.It is one of these..... http://www.motorcycleclothingshop.co.uk/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/f/i/file_230_11.jpgHmmmmm.....

bullet5 Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Most top boxes have the same locking mechanism. It's something most manufacturers see as "if it works, it'll do." Tech7 are a strong topbox, and i've never had any problems with mine. It does the job superbly. But i'd never leave anything expensive/valuable inside if I leave the bike for a while. I'd rather use my little hidden storage compartment. Oh & if it count's, mine's the 32L version.Not exactly confidence inspiring but it's what we're given for motorbike security. Quote
Throttled Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Would you see if you can open yours with your bike key? I agree about the over all build of the Tech 7. Quote
bullet5 Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I'll go check now, and edit this post when I've got an answer for you. ---Just been up and tested and the answer is no. Only it's key will open it. None of the other 23 keys on my set will release it. Those two keys you used must have been of the same type and score number, that just so happened to be a close enough match. Well at least you know you've always got a spare Quote
