Admiral Locks 5/8” 180 Degree Tubular Cam Lock, Keyed Alike Removable Key RV Compartment Storage Lock Cabinet Locks (5/8 Inch 180°, Chrome Pack of 1)

Used these to rekey/lock a bottom cabinet on an older 2008 IGT slot. Worked perfect.

I have a Harbor Freight US General toolbox that the lock somehow got jammed in a position between locked and unlocked and you could not put the key in to turn it because the slots wouldn't align. I ordered a replacement lock only to find out it wouldn't work because the two slots were positioned at 90°, my box needed a lock that would turn 180° to unlock. I found one that worked but it only had 1 slot so you couldn't remove the key unless it was in the locked position. This lock did the trick, 2 slots at 180° allowing the key to be removed when the box is in either the locked or unlocked positions. Installing it was fairly easy once I got the rod to line up just right. The only issue I had was tightening the locknut, my old lock was held in place with a spring clip, this one has a nut that is hard to turn when the rod is in place because you can't use a socket. You could tighten it with a socket before connecting the rod, but when you do that, you cant get the rod to go through the hole without having some wiggle room. There's also not much room for a wrench to turn the nut. I got it hand tight then used a punch and hammer to turn it until it was snug.

I have a network cabinet for which I lost the key to, I was able to pick the old flat key lock and these locks are nearly perfect for my installation. The only thing I wish was that they came with more cam options because my old lock had a hook style cam with an 8 pointed star lug pattern. I was able to get it working on this lock by using two M8 locking washers on either side of the cam; however, a hook cam designed to fit the shaft on this lock would have been a better solution as my current solution leaves the lock vulnerable to brute force. The only other complaint I have is that the threads on the lock shaft are weak and I was able to strip them on one of the two locks with very little effort while putting the locking nut on. This made one of the two locks completely unusable for me as now the locking nut won't go back on the shaft and neither will any other nuts that I have found. That point alone has me lower my rating to a 4 instead of a 5, otherwise, great locks for the value.

Locks worked perfect on my storage box for my jeep. Good quality, and easy to install.

My tool box manufacturer discontinued my tool box so could not get a new lock for it.This lock works real good.

You get what you pay for. The qualities to be adequate. Fit is acceptable. They have a little my slop than I expected.

I usually don't write reviews, but due to my experience with these locks and this vendor, I had to make an exception.About a year ago I bought a new set of US General tool boxes. There were 8 locks in total and each lock used a different key. I wanted to key all of these boxes alike, but wasn't sure where to start. I found a forum on line that led me to a Youtube video that recommended this seller and these locks. I wrote the seller and explained what I wanted. He told me to place my order and then email him and he would make sure that they were all keyed alike.Well, guess what? I got exactly what I ordered. I was and still am very happy with my choice of seller and product. The locks are well made, are easy to install, and look great. The quality is A+.1 year later I bought a tool cart with drawers and a top and it had 1 lock. I wrote this seller again, and told him what I wanted to do. He again told me to place my order and then email him and he would make sure that these locks would be keyed the same as the first set.Again, I got exactly what I ordered. Now I'm super happy.It is refreshing to find a seller that has the honesty and integrity to go the extra mile for his customers. Needless to say, if I need more locks, this is where I will buy them.

I installed these in our kitchen cabinets to keep kids out of our snacks and booze. They work well.
