Craftsman Tool Box - Locked

[D45]

I bought this rolling box on CL for $100 years and years ago...….

Locking 3 digit, push button code roller.

All drawers are ball bearing and the casters are 6"x2" and are greaseable

Anyways, for some unknown reason ALL the drawers locked and I cannot open any.

I also do not know the model number, to Google a solution.

Any ideas?

There should be a number on the face of the lock
By the keyhole.
Take that number to a locksmith.
He will be able to match it with a key.

It doesn't have a key. It's made by Waterloo, you could reach out to them. That was their industrial line for Sears about 20 years ago. I've got the same box. It's a great box!

Thus the wording, push button code

X2 Waterloo deals with this all the time, give them a call, I think they could help you out.

Flip the box upside down and see if the drawers unlock (sometimes works), if they do, pull the drawers out and pull out the lock. Maybe then you can figure out the code or replace it with a key lock.

Try 1&5 at the same time then 3, turn the unlock lever. If the buttons don’t click when you push them turn the lever then try again.

I must be easily amused, because I am currently on the floor!

The box is full, I am not going to turn it upside down to see if the drawers unlock

Good point, I wanted too see if trick would work, yea that would be hard to do

You could use your SawsAll to cut out the lock----oh wait, its in the bottom drawer

There are a lot of lock picking videos on You Tube. Surprisingly, most of the locks on the market are not very secure and are easily by-passed if you know how. I'd be willing to bet that lock is one of the easiest. A good locksmith could probably have it open in less than a minute.

I got it open!! Woohoo!

Thanks guys!

I followed pages 9, 10 AND 11 of this manual...…

I think what worked was pushing #2 and #4 together and then then

I then rotated the knob and it unlocked

If things don't resolve themselves... try explosives... video camera... youtube upload account.

So what did you find on the inside?

My tools?

I've owned for 6ish years

So how long has it been since you could get into y box ?

 

[D45]

It locked the day I posted this thread......only was locked for a few days

 

[PelicanPines]

So, does this mean we won't be blowing it up in a spectacular way... ?

Glad that hack worked... happy tooling.
