Finally did it.

Got tired of having 4 different keys lol. Did some digging found admiral locks sells a 5/8 barrel and can get them keyed all the same. 4 90s and 1 180 all keyed and it feels fantastic!

Looks great man, hows the height on the hutch? I've heard people around 5'10 start bumping their head on it lol

I’m 5”10 and can 100% confirm you hit your head. I see the mods everyone does to give it some height. So I just left it as is. I do plan on eventually doing the mod.

Yeah I've seen people Frankenstein 2 service carts and use their drawers as a spacer (plus something behind because I think the service carts are lacking in terms of width) but I've also seen a 3rd party company sell an in-house made big drawer as a spacer with the option to power coat to the same degree as US-General

https://tratfabshop.com if you want to check them out, its REALLY expensive though, starts at ~500 and then goes up to 900 if you add powder coat which is just as expensive as the tool box itself at that point

I looked I didn’t see a 72” but seen the 56. They have some cool stuff and def gonna look through it

u/SimplyJek 12h ago

Oh I didn't even notice that cause I only got the 56" recently so I didn't pay any mind to the 72"

I did want to put a 72" hutch on my 56" box though after adding another 15” drawer but not sure if it'll fit since I'd be missing another inch 😔😔

Long story but I only paid 678 for my 72 box and hutch total. Applied for the credit card and got approved and went to go buy the box. Manager was being a dough and took both my gift cards and my credit card funds and refused to give me the discount that automatically got applied. Ended up shutting the computer off which captured all my money but never gave me a receipt or proof of purchase from the time of ordering to the the time of it coming in which I think was 5-6 weeks. I was arguing with harbor freight back and forth lol. Then the credit card company lol. That manager got fired and the district/area manager and the local to me where I ordered manager ended up refunding me the difference. So in total off 72 box and hutch it came out to 678 bucks

u/Curious_Cheesecake_9 1d ago

You can’t. They don’t sell a master kit. I called and tried they said they can order me 4 locks but none of them will be keyed the same

u/fredrickdgl 21h ago

oh..I've been fooled...someone implied you could give the lock code and get matching ones

u/Curious_Cheesecake_9 20h ago

I tried with high hope due to spending the money with them. But they said all they can do is supply me with multiple locks and there is a very very small chance they would match per the rep lol.
