I just got one of those chrome HD softail toolbox, with mount for $22 because it was missing the BS little lock (otherwise new and about a $90 item).
I saw a while back some discussion of changing out the locks on those to a better key lock and when I saw this one on Ebay I had a hunch. Turns out they just use a common desk drawer lock - I just took one out of my desk and installed it in mine.
I figured somebody might be interested in putting a real lock in their tool box.
Now all I need is a place that sells replacement desk drawer locks, since I don't have a key for the one I just tried.
