    I have two of these bait boxes and have/had two keys to open them. Except I cannot find the keys!! The bait boxes are pretty standard ones (these were purchased in a hardware shop in Stillorgan)

    If anybody has a bait box like this one, could you post a pic of the plastic key? I am trying to reset the boxes with bait - I just need to break in ;). If I had a pic of the key I should know how to pick the lock.

    Thanks in anticipation..........

    W4M; Most retail places here tend to offer " Big Cheese " gear. One of the very few brands I haven't used! :rolleyes: Nor do I happen to recognise that hole or placement. I'm thinking we may have nailed it.


    However, I've taken the trouble to get shots of a few of the possible key types I have. I have more. But, I know the rest aren't for your box. See if ye recognise ye missing keys amongst these.

    Hey Stigura - thanks for all the digging. None of the key pics you shared look like the key. And thanks to "bobbyy gee" also but that doesn't look like it will work. I will have to do a thorough search of the shed on Saturday to see if I can find one of the two.

    Do you have a plastic tub of blocks? If so take a look inside. Thats where I store the box keys that I have.

    This Amazon listing has a good picture of the key https://www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Cheese-Lockable-Reusable-Protects/dp/B00OHI13ZW/

    The top left one of that multitool that boobyy gee linked to will work and I suspect the first one that Stigura posted a pic of would work.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Continental; Yep. That's a Big Cheese box too. If the OP needs one of keys you pointed out, I may have a spare one knocking about ;)

    If he's quick about it and PM's me a place, I can get it in the post this afternoon.
