alstocko Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hey guys, I recently got a Hiscox case with the Lakland that I traded over BC, but it seems to lock itself every time I travel with it (twice :/). This is a real inconvenience as it didn't come with a key. I have to pick the lock now so it's been moved into my spare gig bag. As I love the bass, I want to keep it in the case, but this problem is so frustrating I'm giving up... Any suggestions before I throw in the towel?

BigRedX Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Are yo sure the key isn't still taped to the inside of the flap covering the pocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikay Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Hiscox locks use a simple generic type key (pic of mine below). If they can't send you a replacement it shouldn't be too hard to make something that will unlock it.

Rammstein2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Contact Hiscox. i have always found them very helpful but i have 2 hiscox cases, and the keys from each case will open the other, Are they all the same? if they are, i can mail you a spare if you want a key (they are usually taped inside the neck pocket thing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I have a spare key which fits both of my Hiscox cases and would be more than happy to mail it to you if you PM me your address etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I heard about this happening. Should really take the key out of the case shouldn't I! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
