Bed side toolbox lock
Where can I get a bed side tool box lock? Over the last few months I have collected the latch, door, plastic tool box, hinges, support rod. All i need is the lock mechanism...

I may have a lock cylinder that will work but I don't have the cam that attaches to the back of the lock. I think there was a member on here making them at one time but I don't remember who it was. I will check and see what I have. LockDoc

Re: Bed side toolbox lock
Hi folks, I realize this is an old thread, so if there is another more recent, I’d be happy to post there.
I have a 1972 Cheyenne super, with bedside toolbox. Since I wasn’t able to unlock it with a key, I followed the advice to drill a 3/4” hole in the box below and after some effort I was able to pop the lock retainer clip off, remove the lock and then open the door. Nothing but cobwebs and dust inside unfortunately. Looks like I am going to need to replace the part of the latch that moves up and down as it is rusted beyond recognition. Any recommendations on how to acquire that part? Has anyone tried making it with a cnc machine? Happy to post pics if anyone is interested, any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Brian |

Hi Brian, That piece is called the lock/latch bolt. I haven't seen any posts on here where someone has made one or had one made but I may have missed them. It would certainly be possible I would think. Yours would have to be good enough to get a pattern off of though.....

Re: Bed side toolbox lock
hi Mr LockDoc, thanks for replying!
My latch assembly (the inside portion) is so corroded I would never be able to use it for a pattern unfortunately. Interestingly, the spring is missing. The outer part that has the 2 screws that hold the assembly to the door is in great shape. I have a friend who has a metal CNC machine so was thinking that, perhaps, given a pattern, that he could make one. I am guessing that the spring would be relatively easy to replace. Question, do you still rekey the bedside locks? If so, what would you charge if I sent you mine for a rekey? Thanks in advance! Brian |
