New locks for an old box
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 5:12 pm
Looking to get some matching locks for this box. Its from the late 60s early 70s. The bottom is a K300D, I can get the other model #s if it matters. The bottom has a double sided key, the top has a single, and the middle and side have cheapy hardware store replacements. The middle was lockless when I got it and I've recreated the two pipes that twist with the lock. The middle or side once upon a time had the double sided blanks like the bottom-I've still got the keys but no lock.
So I've seen directly from snapon you can get matching locks. 4-5 matching cylinders aren't cheap. (5 because I also have a 76 top that i might convert too) Do these work in place of the variety I have now? Its really an all or nothing deal for me as 4 locks is about $75. Or someone have a better source? Not so concerned on getting a round key vs a straight but I'd like better quality than the cheaper 2piece hardware store deals.
