What type of lock cylinder is this? 1977 pickup tool box accessory







Press release lock box lock cylinder pin head style




Does anyone know what type of lock cylinder this is? I can't search it properly on the internet. Or if anyone knows where i can find what I am looking for? I want to lock my tools up because people have been stealing loose items in my neighborhood. Thanks!

No Keys??

Cheaper to just go buy a new lock.

Most often those are a standard size .

Locksmith is the way to go.

A new lock would be no doubt cheaper.

I figured it out. I thought i'd need a new one to replace it since the key hole wouldnt open. I soaked it in DW-40 over night and it opened up after that. All I had to do was have a locksmith fashion a key for it and it works great!
