Truck tool box parts

[Tica]

I have recently acquired a pickup with a decent aluminum tool box without any external branding or a key for the lock. Inside the cover there are two stickers. One says ATG - Jonesboro, which I assume is Apex Tool Group (now selling Delta branded boxes.) The other has a model number of 1-235000 and a serial number of 27254938 (or 2725493B.) There is a number on the lock cylinder J233.

Cannot find anything about ATG tool boxes and the lock number does not match up with any Delta boxes that I can find. Any thoughts on a parts source before I attempt to replace the lock cylinder? Appears to be a relatively well made box with more robust diamond tread metal than I have seen in newer lower quality units.

I'm going to bet that J233 is referring to the key ID, and not a part number for the lockset.

You might try a local locksmith - I helped a friend drop off a truck tool box to the locksmith, and a few hours later, we picked it up again, with newly made keys.

Update - Pretty impressive response from Apex Tool Group. They responded in a manner of hours and said they are sending me a key.
