bassbiscuits Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Stupid question - but are the keys for hiscox lite flight cases all interchangeable, or all different? I ask more in hope, as someone whose case has a glitchy lock which has got stuck in the 'closed' position without a key. hmm. I also have a claw hammer which is looking tempting...

mrn1989 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I can tell you when I get home from work as I have 2 hiscox and 1 key. If it does and you promise to send it back I could post the key to you and then you could send back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I just spoke to Hiscox.. yes, they are interchangeable. If you email Peter at Hiscox - [email protected] - he'll get one or two in the post for you! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) they're all the same, I've got about 7 or 8 of them of different ages and all the keys are identical. i could probably find you a spare key if you want? Matt Edit - beaten to it by hubrad! Hiscox are known for their aftersales, and them an email, they might be able to send you replacement catch as well, they just pop-rivet on.

bassbiscuits Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Wow that's a hell of an offer mrn1989 - thanks very much - but it hasn't actually got my bass in it at the moment, so its not a total disaster. the case is open, but the locking catch is actually clamped down in the locked position, so i can't open or close that particular lock rather than the whole case. I never use the key but the mechanism inside seems to have slipped into a locked position. i guess its just as easy for me to pop to a local music shop which has them in stock and see if one key fits all in the style of a MkII Ford Cortina.

uncle psychosis Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hiscox are great for customer service. I emailed them to ask if it were possible to buy more padding for a case and a few days later a whole wad of it arrived on my doorstep free of charge!
