Re: Pannier System



Actually I should revise my last post a bit.

It IS technically possible to remove your key from the pannier latch/lock
without closing the latch, but it would be pretty obvious that the latch is
not closed since it will stick out a lot.  (And this would make your problem
a latch problem, not a lock problem).  It's also possible to hang the
pannier on the bracket WITHOUT even unlocking/opening the latch (doh!).

What I should have said was that it is not possible to close the latch and
it not be locked since you won't be able to remove your key (unless there's
something wrong with the mechanism of course).

And if there's something wrong with the mechanism, I'd be asking for a new
lock/latch AND a new pannier to replace the damaged one.
