Stack On cabinet - possible to copy keys or replace lock?

[MetalgodZ]

I purchased one of the standard green, flimsy Stack On cabinets, and seem to have lost my receipt.

Home Depot and Lowes don't have blanks for the keys, and Stack On absolutely will not provide additional keys without the receipt for original purchase.

Anyone have any experience with this, and know if/where I can get the keys copied, or if/how I can replace the lock in the cabinet?

Where are you located? I installed a combination on mine. Works great! Easy to do and easy to use. PM me for more info.

Stack on may send you new locks and you could take the old ones out.

there's supposed to be a number on the back with the key code to order from Stack-on according to my book when I bought mine.

Or try taking the keys to a locksmith and see if they have more luck than the big stores...

If they won't send me the keys, it's unlikely that they'll send me a lock, but I'll ask.

There is...and it's required in addition to the original bill of sale. [sad2]

I'll probably try that, or I may yet take MassHack up on his offer to show me how to convert it to a combo lock.

If all else fails...I got a torch and 2 welders!

Just take the key to a good locksmith, they'll have blanks for it.

Take the lock to a locksmith and he will make you a key for $15

Fixed. Welder/Torch is overkill for these things.

Nothing is overkill for an Ironworker!

Bah. Overkill is an excuse from those with a lack of imagination. (^_^)
