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

I have one that I could get some measurements and pictures off of.

The cost to re-key your lock would be $15.50 plus shipping back to you.

I will PM you my info.

Thanks,
Leon

Re: Bed side toolbox lock

Hi Leon,

Thanks for the offer to measure the lock latch! I think I may need to scan it with special scanning software in order to make a copy using a CNC machine, but I am new to that. Thanks for the contact info! I will let you know when I get ready to send it so we can figure out shipping, etc.

Thank you!

Brian

OK, The one I have here now belongs to member "Dieselwrencher". If I had one of my own I would send it to you to use for a pattern....
