The best option we can offer is the Replacement Latch for SportRack Explorer Cargo Box # 03347. This is a plastic latch that will work on many of the older sears X cargo boxes. It is not exactly identical to the older style latch in your picture, but since your box is so old, this will be the only option.

For your Karrite box and lock 123 you can use replacement key #THKEYN123. Sometimes with new keys and old locks you may have to tap in the key to get it to seat all the way so you can turn to lock/unlock the box.
