The picture below is of 2 different Eagle & 2 different Corbin clasp locks. To my surprise, I found that any of their keys will also work any of the other 3 locks. All the locks have a single lever tumbler and don’t have an embossed key number on the lock’s body. I don’t know what they may have been mounted on, but I’ll bet it wasn’t a machinist tool chest.

I should never have bought them, but that’s how you learn. Just a word of caution…………..

Hi Ted,
  I think the Corbin lock is just the one I need for my Peerless Level and Tool Chest [the third one from the left]. Would you like to sell it to me?
Thanks

Hi Rick,

That sounds fine with me. The lock and key work just fine, no problems. But I need to explain one thing about the clasp. Because it was a tackle box lock, it has a tab protruding at the bottom of the clasp. I’ve attached a picture showing the tab.  

Other than the tab it’s identical to their chest locks, except one lever, not two.

How about $15 for the lock & key plus $10 for USPS. I use 2tool...@gmail.com at PayPal. I would need your mailing address. Thanks…….Ted
