Givi top box lost key!

So I have a Givi monolock top box which I have had for years and has sat in the garage on a shelf forever Brick Wall

. I now want to refit it but I have no idea where the keys are, I have searched everywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix this? is it possible to pick them open?

Can I just drill it out and but a new lockset?

Personally I'd try bumping it first especially as its a non emergency
situation, but Givi locksets are available to buy.
for instance:

You can probably do it with two paperclips in less than a minute.... Use one paperclip to apply some torque to the lock, and the end of one straightened out to rake the pins.

I think the Givi key is a double sided/wafer type, mine is.
so a slightly different technique is required
This may help
( first vid I found, there may well be other better ones)

I managed to open a locked Givi box by accident, I was parking my bike and backed it into a tree the force of pushing the box into the tree popped the whole thing open. Laughing

The key that I have for my Givi top box on the FJ1200 is double-sided, whereas the key for the Givi panniers is single-sided.

A friend took his Givi top box along to his local key cutters and they managed to find a key and cut it to fit.

If it is any help,the name on the side of my key is 'SILCA' and the key number is SSA-3R.This will give you the blank number

Mine's like this

I think its the Z series
The newer SL locks that I hastily linked above have more complex keys
similar to many car keys.
