Title: Broken Lock in the top box
Post by: Gnomad42 on January 25, 2018, 03:09:01 PM: Hi everyone. Just checking options about my predicament.

One of the locks on the OEM topbox snapped. David Silver sells whole boxes, but not the lock by itself.
Should I hunt down two new locks to replace the dead & the lonely, or should I replace the whole topbox with something new?
(Or screw a couple of hoops on & use a padlock)

I too would be heading to a locksmith before embarking on possibly more (very) expensive options. I had an occasion to seek locksmith assistance when riding through Tamworth a coupla years back. What these guys could do and the equipment they had then, blew my mind. A coupla years on, they should be able to help.

It's a bit past that I think. The cast base of the lock has cracked and then snapped off around the hinge. Need a new lock.

The barrel is not the issue. When I say it's broken I mean that the latch has broken in twain.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180126/0525678bfb6163c9d981465e1e1e64d0.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180126/3051263e899a596451d022e5e49d8525.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180126/1d73fca8f52ac1bc862bc99aedee03b8.jpg)

Looks a tad more complicated than a busted key in the barrel. I withdraw my previous comments.

Just found this by googling topbox lock.
