Craftsman Box....no key, any ideas?

Bones · Apr 13, 2008

I bought an roller and top box yesterday on a whim (killer deal) and the roller has no key. I am okay with molesting it and ridin' dirty with a beat up box. They are nice ball bearing boxes and would not mind them staying decent for a bit. Sears pimple faces ha dno idea if sears would/can issue a new key, hence the cheaper price laughing1 I assume this is possible, but so is having a locksmith 'pick' it and never locking it again which I am fine with actually. I never lock mine anyway.

Thoughts?

I had an issue like that on a truck tool box and the local locksmith mad me a key to fit it using the numbers off the lock. You could also change the barrel inside the lock.

Is it locked now and you need it opened? I had the same issue once. I got a new lock assembly. Got the old one out with a 4" grinder. ground off the face then it fell into the box,opened up put new lock in. touched up the paint and you cant tell it was ever messed with.
