HELP! Can't open my case -- lost the keys

[AndrewR]

I have a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case, and I locked it before it was shipped from Japan to the States. I only locked the front door, not the side panel, so I do have access to the innards. However, somewhere in the month-long trip we took to get here (visiting family), I lost the set of keys that came with the case so I am currently unable to access the drive bays.

I have two other sets of keys from other cases, but they didn't work. I can see the lock itself when I remove the side panel, but I can't figure out a way to open it without just snapping it. Any ideas?

That suxs are the keys all the same on all the cases? i would say call up case company and ask em for a pair if ur lucky they might not even charge u.

Grab a small pair of nail clippers that have the little nail file/cleaner thingy and use that. Easy as 1-2-3. Case locks are as easy to pick as money boxes. Or you can use a bobby pin, but those are a pain in the ass to use.

I don't use them to keep the hardware safe, I use the lock to keep my daughter out of the case!

That is another good reason 😉
