My 72 cheyenne has the lower toolbox. the lock is broken(looks like a empty hole but won't open. I want to get it opened to replace the hinges as there is only 1 left holding the door on. I always wated to fix it, but living in a condo there s no place. I am currently moving into a rental house with a 2 car garage and want to get so i can open and close it. I am not worried about locking it as it will just be used to store a tarp and some bungies.

I'm just gessing that a door lock would work....I'm sure someone has a better idea

I would check with an office supply store. One that sells desks, file cabinets etc... Look at the locks on these items. They seem to be about the right size and type of lock you would need.
