Can this bag be locked without the key? If not do you have a bag that can be locked without the key?

The key is required to open the lock (obviously). Once the lock is open, the key can not be removed until it is closed again.

I can only lock this bag with a key, and it's the only locking bag I have although I know they sell combination lock bags.

This bag requires the key to be locked or unlocked. I currently do not have a bag in my possesion that does not require a key.

I only ordered one bag. It came with two keys. I would guess that each bag has separate keys or that would defeat the purpose of the security for the item. It wouldn't work well if I could unlock your bag with my keys or vice versa. Your question should be posed to the manufacturer of the product. They should be able to tell you if all keys are different or if they have a set number of key types that they rotate through. If that is the case you may be able to get all four bags on the same key type.

The front pouch can be locked and comes with a key. The main zipped compartment can also be locked, but you will need to furnish your own lock and key.

No, just twist the lock. You only have to enter the code if its locked and you want to open it. I hope that answers your questions and I'm sure you'll love this lock, its awesome to not have to carry keys with you. Also, since its mechanical, you wont have to deal with the problems that I've had with the battery operated units. They're problematic and this one is trouble free!

No there isn't a way to lock it up. It's a great bag but good point . Never thought of that. I use it all the time and haven't needed to lock it up in my field.

There's no physical lock on this. The zippers aren't large enough to accept a padlock, and since it's a heavy duty vinyl/plastic material, it could be cut into with a knife if someone really was desperate enough. It's still a great carrier though.

Yes it opens without a key. We have never used our key - we save it in a safe spot in case it's needed. This safe has a code you enter. We have 2 of these safes in 2 locations and love them!

Technically, yes, but its not convenient. You would have to hold it in place. It doesn't "lock on" .. It's basically like a ziplock bag.

The question was can it be locked?, not what is your opinion regarding locking the bag? The purpose of the lock has nothing to do with entry with a knife, it is to satisfy certain legal transport requirements.

Not really. I suppose one could use a luggage padlock to lock the zippers together, but I imagine you're looking for something more secure.

No, there are no key locks with this. I have 2 padlocks that allow me to secure the case.

You can leave it unlocked. I leave the key in the box so I wont lose the key incase I want to lock it.

If you mean can you attach a lock on it, yes. Although you won't be able to fit a large lock through the zippers on the bag.

There isn't a built-in way to lock the zippers. But you could get creative and use zip ties or a small luggage lock.

Dustin,I am not sure as I have not tried. We have not lost our keys, so have not had a need to do so. It is secure when it closes, I would think that it would be difficult to open without the keys.

That might be tricky. I would say no just because I had to tape it up to close it. I imagine I'll have to rip the bag to take it back out. If you were going to seal it a different way, perhaps it's possible.

Yes. There is provision in the handle for a lock. I have traveled with it many times without a lock and have never had a problem. I can understand your concern with all the TSA stories.
