This looks like the kind of lock that can be defeated with a Bic pen. Can anyone verify or refute this?

Any lock can be defeated...Consider it a hindrance & keep your forks locked. The only way to totally secure your bike is to sleep beside it in the garage, with your pit bull & the 45 locked & loaded.

The lock isn't the type that can be defeated by a Bic pen, it's not a Kryptonyte style, cylindrical lock.

Locks only keep honest people honest, just about any lock can be defeated. If type of lock is you main issue I would consider a much more expensive box, have seen them at more than 2 times the price of this mailbox.

I had to walk out and check. It would not be easy. If you are going to lock a mailbox, you may as well spend the money and get a steal housing. Otherwise the lock will only keep out the honest people. Anything plastic will fall pray to a baseball bat, in which case, the lock is meaningless.

Mine is suppose to lock but does not. Do not buy if you are looking for security.

I believe this person is refering to a bump key. In which a person makes a bump key which can open any deadbolt. I would think not because whoever makes a bump key needs to bump it with an hammer which will probably set off an alarm. Anyone else has an idea?

Hmmm... interesting question! It looks to me as though it isn't intended to be removed. I haven't attempted to remove it. I think it is just part of the pen. That's my opinion on the matter.

My pen was the same way. I just realized that the carbide tip is threaded as well as the hidden key. Just use a pair of pliers to tighten it down and it will be fine.

No don't remember one. I bought a lockable pin and have had no problems with it getting stolen. Also, the lockable pin kills all the wiggle, so there is no shimmying as you drive:Trimax T-3BLACK Premium 5/8" Key Receiver Lock Rugged BLACK epoxy powder coatThis Trimax pin is like $13 bucks, and totally worth it.

Wow, thanks for asking this question. I never thought of that, and that fact that the combination has to be set to close the lock helped me choose not to buy this lock. Thank you.

I don't know how that could happen with the type of locks it has. You may have to put a cable with a lock on it through the bars.

no it is not a lock blabe it is a full tang straight knife. very well made.

This driver is not magnetic, but it does lock the tip into itself. You need to pull the black "ring" (around the tip) as you pull the bit, to get it out.

I do not have the lock mentioned, but the cable looks to be rather small in diameter, I would think it would fit through the lock hole.

There is a "nose-cone" tip that unscrews. ... Just stupid simple ... There is a tension spring but the insert (refill cartridge) does not retract ... It is just covered by the cap. ... The cap (with the ring monunted on it) snaps on (does not screw on) ... I read that some people lost their pen because the cap did not retain the main body of the pen ... I bought it anyway ... I lost mine, within a week ... This is a fairly short pen ... The cartrige does not use the PARKER Compatability extension adapter, that comes with each refill, because this is not a full length pen (but is long enough for normal, comfort and control).

It is, but not on a regular basis. I found that after a few sharp blows, the pen gets stuck in the cap. Can it be used as a last line of defense, yes? Can you use it to right the police report when you're done, probably not.

I don't think any box like this is really secure. Either you could pick the lock with a paperclip or a screwdriver would force most open. Mostly, the fit and finish was poor and eventually the locking tab broke off. Not much good after that. Also, the handle didn't was to stay on. The "rings" that went from the handle through holes in the lid were sized poorly enough that after some movement one side or the other of the handle kept coming off. Eventually, I just locked it and carried it underneath. Not fun when I am carrying everything else in and out of my store. I replaced it with a SentrySafe model that's similar and am much happier with that one. I don't think any box like this is really secure.
