Box Locks

I have bought a box for a trip to Spain and 2 locks to keep my pride and joy from shifty fingers.They are key operated locks and the penny has just dropped-what if I lose the keys! Would I be better getting combination locks or am I just being paranoid.

    insure it

    i just put some cable ties through the latches on mine, and some loops of nylon cord through a hole that links the two halves, enough to make it slow/fiddly to open

    if a thief has time and privacy a lock won't make much difference, and if security want to look inside they might break locks or block loading

    Get some of the new combi locks that have a special key slot on the bottom that only customs have access to - that way they can open the lock without breaking it & then put it back so you won't even know they've done it

    You need to get out of the house more.

    To make sure you don't lose the keys, place them inside the box before closing.
