  • Bag keys

    Can anyone tell me where I might find keys for the bags I have I can not find a name on them. I tried a locksmith with no luck. Also as u can see I am missing one latch on the trunk. Any thought where I might find one or do I have to put new latches on all of them.

    Hi Virstens,
    I think you will have to replace those to get the locking feature.
    Please, if not already done, add tethers to those lids or we will have to read your tear stained post looking for replacements

          I'm surprised that a locksmith couldn't come up with a key for these; they're not a 'cut' key, but a simple stamping like you'd find on inexpensive suitcases.

          I'd try another locksmith...

            +1 what Steve stated. I just took the latches out of my lids and a good specialty here made keys the same for both. I originally remember when new the two keys had an L and R on them. Both the same now. I remember seeing that style of latch at my local key shop specialty. Same as on my tail trunk. Should be able to find one where your at, specially as large a place your at.
