Default Softail chrome tool boxes/locks

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.

Any locksmith should not only be able to replace the lock but also key it to match your ignition if you wish. I had mine done cheap.

I was about to order a couple off Ebay, but I think I'll go to the locksith and get them keyed to match my ignition and get an extra ignition key too.
