Otherwise buy a new one with 2 keys for $56. plus shp'g.

Every electritian will be tempted to pull out his beer opener.

Quote from c64club on June 12, 2013, 4:20 amIf transporting some valuable goods, try a lock from electric enclosures (sold with two keys) or from mailbox. They often has the same shape (cyliner with two milled flat areas). Something like this:
Costs few bucks, has 2 keys. maybe you will need to cut some shape in tongue. Search for "enclosure lock keys" on ebay. Hundreds of them you can find for few bucks.

Quote from Phelonius on June 15, 2013, 3:20 pmMany hardware stores have cabinet locks that will work. Choose a solid brass one to avoid corrosion problems in wet weather.

We don't mind an occasional self promotion but we really want you to make it clear that you are making a promotional post. Hiding it in the link is sneaky and not appreciated by most of the folks here. Just say that you're making a commercial post [and don't bombard us with a bunch of them]. Folks generally appreciate knowing about potential resources like yours.
