Frequently Asked Questions
What is this toolbox lock and key set designed for?
This is a replacement latch-style toolbox lock intended for use with some compatible toolboxes, tool chests, top boxes and workshop storage units. It can provide a practical replacement where an existing lock has become damaged, worn or the original keys have been lost.
Is this toolbox lock a universal replacement?
No. This lock is not stated to be a universal fit, and toolbox locking systems can vary considerably between manufacturers and models. We strongly recommend comparing the lock style, mounting arrangement and latch dimensions with your existing lock before ordering.
How long is the latch arm on the replacement lock?
The lock features a short arm latch measuring approximately 41mm in length. As measurements are approximate, please check the dimensions required by your toolbox carefully to ensure this style of latch is suitable for your application.
What is included with the toolbox replacement lock?
The set includes one latch-style toolbox lock, two keys and one retaining clip. Supplying two keys provides a useful spare for workshop, garage or personal tool-storage applications.
What is the retaining clip used for?
The supplied retaining clip is used to secure the lock into a compatible toolbox or storage unit as part of the fitting arrangement. Your existing toolbox should be checked to confirm that it uses a corresponding clip-retained lock design.
Can this lock be used to replace a toolbox lock when the original keys have been lost?
Yes, provided the dimensions and fitting arrangement are compatible with your toolbox. Replacing the complete lock can be a convenient solution when the original keys are no longer available, and this set includes two new keys.
