Locks for Craftsman chest, keyed alike?

[scheu]

Guys,
I notice that Sears doesn't list a set of replacement locks for thier 26" chests and roll-aways anymore. I'd like to have mine keyed alike. Any idea where to buy?
Thanks, Scheu

Im surprised, they used too. Anyway, go to a locksmith. They should be able to hook you up with the lock itself keyed alike, and you can just unbolt the latch from your current locks and mount them to the new ones. It is just a square fit and a screw that holds them in place

Figured as much. Sometimes it's nice to just have the UPS guy bring it to you, you know? Anyway, thanks.

I thought I saw them in the store last year....

I was at Sears Today, They still have the locks, (1 key 3 tumblers).
I have the same issue but, I think three keys make me look important.

Does anyone know where to get the tubular locks keyed alike? Craftsman doesn't sell those type on their website.

Zoro has them, but they can get pricey.

It was a beautiful morning so I decided to start early and walk the one mile to work. When I got there I had forgotten my tool cabinet keys. Didn't need keys for the car so none on me, ya know? And there were about three big projects carried over so I had to rustle up some bolt cutters -- hmm, I know I saw some somewhere a couple of weeks ago.... Now I use only combination locks.

Call Waterloo and see if they will sell you some

Subscribed, last time I checked you could get three locks alike but no more. Well my local stores don't stock them and I called CS and you can't request lock numbers. So I have two keys for four boxes. D'oh! Would love to put all my stuff on one key.

I was looking at putting a set of Snap-On tubular locks into my roll cart (and pry bar holder), and also my tool boxes so I'd have one key, but at $30 a set, no thanks.
For $50 to get it done, I'll be going with the Zoro option. Thanks for the link.

They're still in store seen them a few weeks ago. Close to the air tools. Up on the wall. Don't ask for help, they won't know what you're looking for. And the iPhone will just crash anyways.

I had Myne re keyed at a lil hole in the wall locksmith shop it only cost 10r 15$

Any locksmith should be able to rekey or key them alike.

Ive re-keyed a few cman boxes. they use the same 4 pins on all the locks I've done. Just open the lock and swap around the pins to get the right combo. That may have changed with time but its a very easy job.

Give it a shot, if you are contemplating replacement for a matching set, you have nothing to lose if it doesnt work.

I've rekeyed six boxes and a pry bar holder all to the same key. Just take the locks apart. The pins are numbered. Just put them in the order you want.

On a similar note, what are your options if you don't have a key for a box?

It drives me nutz ! Even if I never plan on locking the box.

First see if there is a code stamped on the lock. A key can most likely be made by code. Otherwise, remove the lock, take it to a locksmith and have them fit a key or rekey the lock with a new set of keys. Or buy a replacement lock.
