I must be a moron, but my bag doesn't lock? I can "lock" the lock but the zipper is still exposed?

It was a little tricky for me as well. You must push the zipper portion underneath the locking mechanism(when the lock is open) and then press the locking mechanism down, which will capture the zipper and lock the assembly.

I had a problem with it too. The zipper should have a spot inside the locking mechanism so that it wont open very easily. Mine unfortunately broke but that's because I probably had too much medicine in it.

We had a bag that was a tad more difficult than the rest. We just kept working at it....get the zipper under the lock as close as possible and keep pushing down. Eventually it gives....ours did and it works fine. Work the key back and forth locking and unlocking. Hope this helps you. Michelle

You zip it up ALL THE WAY - push the zipper under the lock. The end you grab on the zipper will be sticking out, but when you push the lock down to lock it, you will not be able to pull the zipper open. Make sense?

The pull tab on the zipper will remain exposed when the bag is locked. When locked, the slider piece attached to the cylinder will engage with the zipper to securely lock and prevent from opening. If you are experiencing issues, please contact customer service at 800-464-2088.

I haven't had an issue, but then again, I don't park and leave the bag on top and unattended. Haven't tried the lock.

Okay! I received mine, but there's no zipper on it. Did I misread this list serve?

I've had no trouble checking the bag through or issues with the zipper. Of course, a safety strap would be a backup if you're concerned.

Thanks for the inquiry. Bags do not come with lock(s) but you may be able to use some type of lock to secure.Best regardsRichard

I think I may have hot-glued a strip of vinyl down there...whoops, just remembered, the zipper goes all the way across the bottom of the bag and I had a mishap when the zipper gave way and my gtr fell out of the bottom of the bag. Luckily it didn't suffer any horrific consequences. I ended up hot-glueing the zipper inside and out along the bottom. It'll never happen again! But, despite this pretty serious shortcoming, I do like the basic design and features of the bag more than most gig bags I've had. They just should NOT run the zipper along the bottom, it's useless to do that anyway. Hope this helps...

It's doesn't lock. It is more difficult to take off than other bags (i.e. someone probably can't take it quickly while you're at a stop light or something), but I won't leave it on the bike if you aren't there because it will be easy to steal (~5-15 seconds).

I Don't Know. The Lock Fell off my bag before I made it to security at the airport. I Can'tRecommed ..

Without going to look and see if there are little holes in the zipper pulls for a tiny lock my answer would be no. Even if there are what is the point in locking a fabric bag? A knife would open it in two seconds.

There seems to be some confusion. There is NOT any dedicated locking system or a secure means to lock this case. I suppose that you could put a lock on the handles or the zipper loops, but both of those areas can be cut with a knife. Regardless, this is a fantastic case.

Well, I can only say that you must not have closed it up completely. When I zip the bottom all the way to the right and the top, over and then back down, the two zips come together. I know they don't lock but you could put a paper clip through the two zip heads, like I do on my luggage when I travel by air. I don't clip my two zips together, I just zip them all the way. Moisture doesn't even come in. I love my YardStach II and have had "0" problems with it now for over a year.Denny Swen.....

I unrolled the bag and the door closed tightly. Try that and see if it works better.

It has a lot of good zipper closed spots but no real "secure" places, if someone was really nosey. I thought maybe the zipper pull would have the capability of putting a little lock on it but it's solid. There is an outside pocket (on the front) that would hold a small file and it has a lock in the clasp, but I swear I didn't get a key for it. There's also a waterproof bag that came with it that I didn't realize when i bought it.

This is totally different with oxygen abosrber. Our bag is like a zip lock. Even you open it, it is not ruined if you close the zip lock.

Well, yes and no! I lean more toward the NO side though!Yes, you could put a "very small lock" through the zipper pulls which will keep the bag from being open. This may work if you don't want your "younger children" getting into the bag. However, if someone just twisted the lock I believe the pulls would just break, they don't look very strong and that's why I say NO. This is a very nice bag though and will keep your things together.

It doesn't lock. It's big enough to stow a small backpack in, though, so I just keep my valuables in the pack and leave the rest if I need to stop somewhere.

Is there any way to put a small lock on it? -- No, no way I can see. There isn't even a small hole in the zipper pull tab.
