How to get extra keys for Matco box?

[Zebu Fellenz]

Hi,

I bought a Matco MB4725 roll cabinet last night and it only came with one key. I would like to have an extra to keep with my spare keys in case I lose my key or have something happen to it. I want to make sure I'm not the guy coming back here in a few weeks asking how to break into my toolbox...

Can I send the code on the back of the key to Matco and have a spare made or will I have to swap out the entire lock assembly with a new one?

Thanks,

Erik

Your driver or Matco should be able to get you another key if you give them the cylinder number on your current key.

I don't have a driver so it looks like I'll be contacting Matco.

Thanks

maybe not HD or Ace, but, how about a professional Locksmith?

or Matco...

I was wondering about a professional locksmith but wasn't sure if they are usually able to make the tubular style keys?

I'll try going through Matco first.

Ok, heck our local Ace Hardware makes tublar keys, Locksmith should be hands down.

I needed the same thing and when I called Matco I was told I had to use the Matco tool guy that was assigned to my area. After giving them my area cade they gave me the number to my guy and I had to arrange a meeting place to give him my code and in a couple weeks he had my new key. It cost me 25 bucks for one key. Below is my original thread.

I bought a used Matco box that didn't come with keys for the locks. Called Matco corporate and they gave me the phone #s of my two local Matco dealers, one wanted $ for the keys. The other one said that since I was a Matco customer that there would be no charge and that he would get me matching keyed locks for both my top and bottom tool chests. Price 0 $ , now that is good service. He also asked about the condition of my wheels/springs because sometimes they would sag on the bigger boxes, he would cover them under warranty.
These were 10 + year old 4 bay boxes.
When I needed to move them he did it for some gas money.

Any good locksmith will be able to make a copy for a few dollars. Doesnt matter if its the round keys.
