US General Tool Box Lock Set

Match the lock type to your box’s generation and series. For example, the 6-piece latch and lock set is designed for first and second generation Pro tool boxes, while universal cylinder locks work for standard cabinet drawers. Always verify compatibility with your model’s documentation.

Most US General lock replacements are designed for straightforward installation. Cylinder swaps often require only a screwdriver to remove the retaining clip. More complex linkage sets may need basic hand tools, but detailed instructions are typically provided with the kit.

A keyed-alike set lets you use one key for multiple locks on different tool boxes or drawers, simplifying access. Individual locks provide separate keys, which can be useful for restricting access to specific drawers in a shared workspace.

US General replacement locks are constructed for heavy-duty use, matching the robust build of the tool boxes themselves. They use metal cylinders and components designed to withstand frequent use in a garage or shop environment.

For a jammed key or lost cylinder, replacing just the lock cylinder is often sufficient. If the internal linkage rod or latch is bent or broken, a full lock and rod assembly or a complete latch replacement kit is the more reliable long-term fix.
