If the lock on your UWS Toolbox is damaged to the point that the key no longer works unfortunately your only option is to simply drill out the latch/handle. Once you have the box opened and the latch removed, you can replace it with the T-Handle # UWSTHLOCK, which does include 2 new keys.

If your particular UWS box uses a different style latch/handle please let me know and I will be happy to see if we have a different replacement that will work.
