Disable entire Lock on HF toolbox

[socoj2]

Im restoring an older toolbox, i dont have the keys and i want to just Disable the entire locking mechanism.

I keep finding links on disabling the mechanism for the top lid for some items but i cant find one on deleting the entire locking mechanism from the box.

Any ideas?

Which box?

More than likely you can just remove the lock and the locking bars by removing the drawers.

show some pics of the mechanism/lock etc.
if it is a cam lock that locks a bar , probably just tie the bar up or remove it altogether
