the second is a pic of the bottoms sticker, it was pouring out at that point so I didn't snag any more pics.

picked this up today off a guy a i know for little over 300 bucks in trade who had it sitting in his garage for the last 8 years, he got it out of a house he was helping rehab back then… 11 drawer total dale jr(old number) kra top and bottom. some drawers a little rough rolling due to some rust and neglect and one possible broken on the bottom. little bit of surface rust on the bottom from it sitting on someones basement floor for a few years before my buddy got it not on its casters. only had 2 casters in one of the drawers, not sure what happened to the others or why they're off. the top piece is locked and no key for either pieces, the lock numbers don't match anyway.

my questions to people on the forums are, since i'm young and this is my first snap on piece besides a few garage sale randoms… can i get matching locks for this to have one key that'll work? how should i get the top open, drill it? any ideas for what to do about the rust on bottom, not serious but sand, and hit with paint? anyone know a paint color that will match nicely? will snap on replaced any rough rusted ball bearing slides? Where can I get 2 more casters (or perhaps 4 if it'd be worth it) for this thing?

i power washed it earlier, ill try and get some more pics up soon. I look forward to and appreciate any comments or help on trying to track down casters, drawer slidesand keys and locks and fixing up advice. cheers!

You can get matching locks. Snap on might replace slides, the box warranty I'd good to the original purchaser only technically. You can definitely purchase them tho

Inexpensive upgrade suggestion...when you replace the broken slides, double them up on the bottom drawer.

thanks, good advice from someone who sounds like they know. I would't have thought of that, however it's homeowner use, the craftsman drawers were starting to buckle under the weight of my stuff i have in there haha.
thanks, cheers
