I found the security key arrangement to be a right royal PITA. Keeping it in a condition so it worked reliably even with the correct mag key seems difficult in our climate so I bit the bullet, had the mechanism to bits and removed the little flap as it was always getting stuck in the closed position. It always seemed to happen when I was miles away from anywhere and getting into the lock involved scraping at the flap until I could move it enough to get the key in, which damaged it anyway.
Whilst it may prevent a bit of water ingress into the lock mechanism I’m not convinced it was particularly effective a security measure or was watertight and a healthy dose of Wurth on a regular basis seems to be more far more preferable than getting locked out of my scoot.
Frankly speaking, I think it’s more of a gimmick than a genuine security measure (there are better ways of preventing the theft of a scoot imho) and in my case ended up being a bloody liability on several occasions.
You may find that your climate suits its operation ok but for me, if it was a toss up of either being regularly locked out of my scoot or the unlikely event of ineffectively preventing unskilled petty crims from nicking it. I’ll risk the latter any day.
Hope you manage to get it to work.
