I don't know if this information is still valid, but here's an old post about matching the locks on US General boxes: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/us-general-tool-box-matching-locks-diy.372221/

I don't believe Harbor Freight sells keyed-alike sets for US General cabinets. However, this lock available on Amazon appears to be a replacement option:

This link is only for a two pack, but I'm sure if you did some digging around, you could come up with a four or six pack option.

Pull the locks out and visit your local locksmith.

He may have a solution for you.

My company has many harbor freight boxes installed in dozens of box trucks. We regularly call harbor freight parts for new locks and drawer latches. Your best bet is to remove the lock from each and confirm they style is all the same for them (they probably are) and pick a part number from a parts diagram on harbor freights website.

Then call and order. I've bought 5 and 10 packs of like keyed locks for my US GENERAL boxes.
