I pulled a bonehead and lost a ring of keys with my tool box keys on it. My spares, wound up in the actual tool box itself and now I can't access my shit.

My question is, are locksmiths able to duplicate a round key like a traditional key? Or is this a lost cause and just drill them out?

What kind of box is it Lue? You can order replacement keys on line for some manufacturers, if you can't wait which is a good possibility since it sounds like it's for work, drill it out and order a new lock set.

It's my Machinist set up Barry. Roll away, riser and chest. 3 different keys. THe deal is that I replaced the locks to the round key ones and they don't show a "key number". I had hoped that would be my saving grace, but no go.

I'm also a little concerened that I may damage the actual locking mechanism behind the locks themselves.

I messed up BIG TIME with this one. EVERYTHING is locked up in this set up since I caught my sons fooling around with my tools a couple months back. My other roll away set up is pretty much empty. I will probably have to buy some tools to get to my tools. :fsakes

Go on you tube and watch some lock pick videos, make up a set of picks and crack it open. I bet you can do the whole deal in under an hour.

So you locked it all up to keep your kids out of it, & you end up locking yourself out of it? :rolleyes: :p

To quote MC Gusto, "Who's the bitch now?".... :skull lol :D

Call a locksmith,pay the service call and learn the lesson. Sometimes locks don't like to be drilled out, you know the drill,,smoke,broken bits stuck in the hole.
I have a lock pick gun with the instruction book and I've NEVER been able to get it to work for me.
I also have a master key set that never worked.

Is this another dream episode, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Just get your red rider bb gun out of your GT Mach One rifle holster and shoot the locks out :D.

This is exactly why Skank can't get 2nd dates.

yep I would pay the service call fee. those would be a bitch to drill out. Tube locks. They came from the vending machine industry for a reason....

Ace/Tubular locks are tough to pick even with the specialized tools shown on the YouTube videos, they still have 7 pins in them.

Drilling them out is not easy either.

I checked some of my lockie garb for a hack/or quick fix - no dice.

I don't have a tube lock pick tool(s); otherwise I would do it for you.

You're gonna have to call a locksmith, one that can pick a tubular/Ace lock.

I lost my keys to my kennedy rollaway once.. I broke into it in less then an hour, but for the life of me I can't remember how I did it.. I'm going to go out in the back and look at it right now.

I'm assuming it's a big kennedy roll away?

Take any and all old keys or keys that your friends have that are similar in size to the lock. Odds are one wiil work those little locks are not high quality.

I have a box full of old keys you can come over and borrow.:p

My neighbors glove box key for his cart at the river fits my carts ignition perfectly.:D

cylinder locks are not the safest, i had a couple of disk locks for the harley that were recalled because you can put the plastic bic pen, the old skool one in them and tap tap tap and twist. you can also use copper tube the same size, your basicly making the key by using soft material

drill it in steps... if you break a bit, just take a grinder and grind the head off.

Thanks C2. Much appreciated. :thumbsup

It's not the long one. I have a 375 Roll Away, 5150 Riser and 52611 chest. All different keys.

I also have about the same size crafstman box set up that has all been put into the Kennedy due to my sons getting into the tools. As you can see, I need to get this shit done sooner than later.....

I'd apply a center drill to the center part, and follow thru with a new sharp cobalt drill. My major concern is damaging the sheet metal or locking assemblies behind the locks themselves.

They're the safest offered by Kennedy. The cheesy locks that come with the tool boxes usually get picked really easy. I used to work at a place where 2nd shift had a "borrowing problem" so I replaced my locks with these. :(

The borrowing isn't the problem it's the returning that's the problem... :rolleyes:

Dude, these guys would open your shit and just take things. We'd come in and find tool boxes open all the time. Tool cabinets, storage cabinets. Shitty deal all the way around. Couple peeps lost their jobs over it too.
