You can throw the two thumb latches and that will hold the top lid closed which will hold the front cover on. The lock is only for security purposes. So if you're not worried about theft, you don't need the lock.

Edit, I don't see two pins that I thought I saw. I may be wrong...

Looks exactly like a Kennedy. Didnt know craftsman made them like that.

Lock has an arm on it that latches the front cover.

Pretty sure it's a rebranded Kennedy.

as in someone slapped a craftsman logo on it? Or craftsman bought blanks and put their logo on them

Logo is riveted on.

I wonder why they stopped making them. I have the same toolbox but a Kennedy. Heavy box but a tank.

I am almost positive it is a rebranded Kennedy box.... i wanted kind of a heavy box. But i still not sure it will fit my need size wise.
I aint worried about a lock since i will have it in a locked box. But i have some tumbler sets and pin sets, i could rekey it if i get it.

Neat post OP! Will make someone a good box nonetheless.
