Mac Tool Cabinet keys?

[jagwire64]

Just picked up an old 3 piece Mac Economizer 2000 cabinet on Clist. No keys and all the locks have a different 3 digit number on the face by the keyway. Am I correct in assuming that these cylinders don't match and would take a different key?

I want to make sure before I get replacement locks.

Yep!

I would remove the locks and hit up a friendly neighborhood lock shop. He might be able to come up with replacements.

Thanks for confirming.

I got a set on eBay for my box; somewhere around $10 for the set. This was around three years ago.

The drawer cabinets require 180 degree turn to lock right?

Go to a locksmith, they can pick the locks and re-key them to a single key.

Tried a locksmith...they were not much help. I've got some locks ordered. Fingers crossed.

Look on Ebay, they sell the keys pre cut to the code on the lock.

Look on Ebay, they sell the keys pretty cut to the code on the lock.

This.

Those standard toolbox cabinet locks are about the easiest to pick designs there are. I went with a Medeco cylinder off ebay. Abloy is another nice one. I don't suggest losing the key though.
