A question regarding toolbox locks

[RiverRider]

So, I have one of the smaller Craftsman rollaways which was not stolen from me during the heist a few months back. I replaced the top chest and middle chest though. Craftsman also, and these boxes are the ones with the smaller drawers.

(I was at Northern Tool yesterday morning and they had a chest on a rollaway for CHEAP, and it was ten times the toolbox as these Craftsman I seem to be stuck with).

Anyway, now I have three separate keys for securing my tools and I'm not liking that at all. Does anyone know of an on-line merchant who can supply the locks with a requested specific key code? I've looked and I can order the the two locks I want, but I didn't see an option for selecting a specific key.

Thanks in advance.

the keys are just a few bucks, just order a new set of locks - keyed alike. BTW a local locksmith may be able to do this as cheap as online,

I think Sears sells a matched three piece lock set, and it might even be a "high security" type lock (similar to the old Chapman car locks of yesteryear). If not Sears, try Waterloo Industries who makes the units for Sears.

Most toolbox locks are simply 1/4 turn cam locks and the trick is the tailpiece. I have bought Fort Locks from my local True Value and made up my own locks.

If all your tool boxes use the same style of lock, especially those barrel type ones. Then you can easily buy some on eBay that are key'd alike and swap them in.

Thanks Ponchoguy, I think Waterloo is the ticket. Looked on their website and they tell you how to identify the toolbox model so they can match up the lock.

There are four locks on my setup---two on the rollaway, and one each on the top chest and middle chest. I only want to replace the two locks on the two new boxes. If I can specify the key, I'll have what I want.

I'm sure that they buy the locks from someone (such as Fort Lock, or the like), but if you talk to Waterloo, the person to speak to is Christina Robinson or if he is still there, Mike Bickers. I believe both are in Waterloo Parts.

If there is a Tractor Supply Co. near where you live, you can buy a multi pack of barrel locks keys the same. If I remember correctly it was about 15 bucks or so for 3 of them but I'm pretty sure they had a pack of 5 as well.
