Replacement roofbox lock

[OG]

I've got an old Halfords roofbox where the key has snapped off inside the
lock barrel. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement lock barrel ?
I've not tried Halfords yet, but am not expecting anything from them so am
looking at alternatives.

Any ideas?

A friend had this same problem last year, I think he got in touch with the
manufacturer.

Go to a locksmith, he should be able to remove the broken bit & cut a new
key using what was removed, alternatively there might be a number stamped on
the face of the lock, a new key can be cut to that code.
If all else fails he should be able to supply a new lock.

Google "lock suppliers" if you don't have a local locksmith; I think I used
direct locks last time I needed something but their web site seems to be
down.

I think Timpsons do some areas too, you might find they can at least
supply a new key even if you need someone else to remove the key.

I'd suggest a decent real set of extractors, with which you can pull the
old key stub.

Chances are you can then simply replace the broken key and carry on with
the old lock.

Otherwise an extractor is probably still a useful step in getting it
open without further damage. Try Isaac Lord (or many others) if you
finally need replacement barrels.
