GREAT advice, gents! Thank you!

Friends, I have this vintage MAC drawer box, but it didn't come with a key. I tried unlocking it using a staple, didn't work. I tried using a flathead screwdriver, and that helps, but the drawers keep getting relocked. I want to just disable the locking mechanism so I can freely open all...

Been looking for a Craftsman Commercial box for a few years, and this is the very first one that came up. Of course, I have no space for it right now - so hopefully someone else can grab it. The price seems reasonable(ish) $250 -...
