Definately din't need the original key to close it. You can shut it with any key or even a large flat headed screwdriver or anything that will fit in that hex.
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

Haven't SYM also got the keyhole shutter on some of their models.
I don't know about the other models as I haven't looked, but the Maxsym has one. I don't bother with it as it's too fiddly and I have an immobiliser fitted. Secure enough for me with a good padlock and chain. I didn't bother with it on either of my Burgmans either for the same reasons.
