Replacement keys for snap-on toolchests?

I have acquired one of these:
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item..._ID=68187&group_ID=17761&store=uk&dir=catalog

but it has no keys, a new lock assembly and keys is not that expensive (22) but according to the owners manual you can order new ones using the lock code, but i can't find anything on the site?

Anyone done this before?

Cheers
James

 

Contact your local dealer and he’ll order the keys for you, I altered all mine so they worked off the same key

 

The codes are on the lock itself and also on the keys (3651) thats all you need not a big problem from the snap on stealer

 

If you dont know a dealer. i can pm you the phone number one that comes to where i work.

he's called ste western, just as expensive as the next snap on dealer,

 

yeah there all the same price no matter with one you choose unless your lucky enough to find one that has a set theve had a while and wants rid

 

Is it the conventional type key or the round one?

 

Looking at the pic im certain its the round ones with the plastic spanners attached

 

Think it was a library pic though, if they are the round ones, I have a spare new lock with 2 keys he can have, it’s what I took out of my new box when I changed them to the same lock and key

 

Word of warning when ordering replacment keys, i had to order 2 (1 for each box) it took over 12 months for it to come though

good thing was 5 each key

if i needed them i would of just got a new locks

 

my roll cab has no keys, went missing ages ago. good job there are only a few at my work, all of whom i would trust with my life never mind me tools.

 

Its got the older conventional type key, are they interchangeable? i.e. could i buy the spare lock and keys off vrbanana and swap the lock for my current one?

 

would say if its identical to the pic but just with a slot instead of a cylinder lock yes but its a risk youll need to take as these are two different lock types

 

Think this is sorted now, big thanks to vrbanana!
