I've seen a number of locks that lock without the key. All manner of padlocks, to name but a few. My front gate locks without a key. It's fortunate that a key is needed to open it, though.
As for what manner of self respecing PC locks himself out of his own "box" (read house, car)...well, my intelligence must be 3, then!
I've never completed the thief stronghold, but I wonder why one needs a strongbox when you can leave stuff in a cabinet in someone else's house and they won't touch it...
