Hi there truck and trailer owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at UWS's replacement nail head striker pin. Your striker pin is the component that engages your latch mechanism, as we go down here, you'll see it push the latch to the side and click, boom we're in place. So, since this is the component that the latch is holding onto to keep your lid shut, if the component becomes damaged, if you get too much rust and corrosion built up on it that where it snaps off, or if it just gets bent to where it's not engaged in the latch anymore, you may need to replace it in order to get your toolbox lid secure once again.The striker pin does not come with the nut, so you will have to provide your own, it's a quarter inch with a 20 thread. We're using a nylon locking nut to ensure our stays tightened down in its desired location. This pin will work with both locking and non-blocking latch assemblies.
I recommend if you are replacing this to determine if your bracket is going to be compatible with it, if not you can pick up a bracket from etrailer here, this one is from UWS as well. They do come separately, so if you only need one you can get just the part you need but if you're replacing your entire latch assembly you'll want to make sure you get a bracket as well to put it on too.And to help you determine the best location for installing a new assembly, the striker pin is going to have a one inch strike area, that's the smooth portion here, and the whole pin is about an inch and a half in length. So that way you can choose the appropriate depth on where you need to put the pin on the lid of your toolbox.And that completes our look at UWS's replacement nail head striker pin.

Just what I needed.
Thanks
Just what I needed it. Great price. Delivered on time
Item was what I ordered. Paid extra $$ to get it on the 4th but got it on the 5th. Other than that issue all was fine. Don't pay for express shipping
Very fast shipping and the items were exactly what I needed to fix my truck box.
I was very happy to talk with you the other night. You were a life saver in finding the parts that I needed. I had been all over the past two days looking for these parts and people looked at me like I was stupid, I even showed them a picture of the parts and also showed them the part on there truck bed box that I was looking for and they still could not understand it. I did go back to two different places and gave them your web sight and they thanked me for giving them the info so they know where to look for parts that a customer needs, when they don't have it. Thank You
Got here in time as scheduled
This seller is great. Great service. And fast shipping
Received as ordered with awesome speed and service! Definitely recommend etrailer!
Great Product. Had picked up a new to me toolbox secondhand and one of the strikers was missing which made it a hassle to keep closed. Ordered new striker pins and arrived within 2 days. Now the toolbox latches correctly
This was the exact Kobalt tool box striker pin I needed. The only thing I needed was nuts, but I found those easily at any auto store. Great shipping and tracking process before shipment.
Quick shipping
Bought striker pin and bracket to replace missing parts on my Craftsman aluminum truck tool box CMXTBAD73019031. The bracket is shaped slightly differently so the bracket is offset some, however it feels solid and secure. Quick and easy repair. etrailer's price was 25% of what I was seeing elsewhere on the web. Shipping and customer service was also great. Thank you etrailer!
A litte longer than I would like. But still does the job.
Worked perfect for my tool box
I would have thought there would be nut a washer.
Was compatible with the toolbox.
Fit perfectly
I was able to fix up a tool box I was given! Only about $30 bucks in parts saved me hundreds!!
The exact parts that were needed to complete my truck box restoration. Thanks for the clear pictures, great prices, and follow up support. I wish you continued success in online distribution.
Received and worked as needed. Quick sh ipping.
Quick, simple replacement on a Better Built SLE toolbox. Works great!
How come I didn't get ss flat washers and locknuts?
I chose etrailer.com due to price. I received 2 brackets and 2 stiker pins including shipping for about the same price it would have cost me for "1 STRIKER PIN" alone on amazon. So I figured I would give etrailer.com a shot. It worked out great. My $[XX] toolbox is really coming together.

After a year the latches are still working great
I Got a used Better Built tool box. It was in pretty good shape but missing one of the striker pins. Price for this item was great and I went ahead and ordered 3 due to shipping costs so I’d have spares on hand just in case. Had the right size nut in my work bench. This is a perfect fit and my tool box is more secure now.
