Trapped box that isn't locked

I thought they had to be locked to be trapped? How does a non locked box explode.

Locked to be trapped: Right
But once unlocked... they'll explode if triggered

No, i tested this. If I use the key to unlock them, it disarms the trap. If you use magic unlock, the trap doesnt trigger.

I was handed a box, not locked, opened it, *boom* Was trapped.

There's a trick to it - I think it involves the key being on a keyring, perhaps in the box. You need to ask on the Thieves forum, or maybe Craftsman.
