KRL761 Lock Bar Replacement?

[bberndl]

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong area, new to the Garage Journal Forums, but I recently bought a KRL761 for what I consider to be a good price ($700), pretty good condition but when I bought it I did not test the locks. When I removed the drawers to clean it I noticed that the two lock bars for the right bank were not there (pictured below). My snap-on guy has been dragging a** on seeing if I am able to get replacement ones, but I am thinking he will not be able to get them for me.

As for the question, I was wondering what my options are, can I have two of them made/make them myself? Was wondering if anyone has done this kind of thing before. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I can't answer your question about having them made, but Snap On's website does list repair parts for boxes. It might take a little searching around, the site is not very user friendly, but I was able to obtain some trim my Snap On box was missing. My local dealer wasn't much help either.

I ended up ordering everything relating to the locking mechanism of the tool box just because it was all fairly cheap. Turns out I didn't get the part I needed. I am looking for the slotted sliding channel on the back wall of the box. Starting to look like I'm going to either make one myself or get one made for me. Anyone able to make one of the slotted lock bars on the back wall before?

Fairly certain that you cannot replace the lock bars because the holder is welded to the back wall. Maybe call customer service at 877-762-7664 and sweet talk them into sending you lock bars. You will need to be creative with repairing that box.
