Title: NTF Mac box lock.
Post by: jabberwoki on March 21, 2019, 08:35:11 PM

I`ve talked to the Mac dealer and they only offer the lock and key.
What I need is the lock nut and lock tab?
Any clues?

Try finding a lock with the same size barrel at you locla hardware store and just use the nut and lock washer from it.

The nut is a standard part. Find a local locksmith and they should drawers full of what you need. If you're talking about the cam on the back there are variations and different lengths so you may need to know what you need and you might need to modify one that's close.

What's your site Jeff?
I still have to figure how it locks as it`s different to the Cornwell one of the same style.

I work for a local locksmith shop, no online site.
I just walk back into the shelves and find the right bin :)
