wizbang Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I bought a Husky brand truck box less than 2 months ago. When I tried to lock it today it wouldn't lock. I noticed the lock mechanism is out of position so the lock is not able to engage at all. This is a problem because I tried to drive without the lock and the box opened by itself. At $250 it's not the most expensive but it's not cheap either. Looking for some advice. Should I return it? or do a diy hasp and lock? I'm sure I can return it to the orange box store but I'm not sure that I would have any better luck with another truck box in that price range. Maybe it was just defective.

Logan Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 If it was me I would try to return it because it might of just been a defected unit but if it happens again I would try and to make or replace the lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Return it. I had a more expensive box do the same thing to me, the lid would open on its own when going over bumps etc., it got replaced. Next time around though will be a weatherguard, finish and quality is too nice to worry about the higher price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I agree, return it. Then if that one fails then return it and buy something else or modify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizbang Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thanks for the input guys. I returned it and got my money back. I'm gonna take a look at few different options. The lid came open on the way home and rubbed the paint down the bare metal on a small area so I need to get that fixed now.

LarryS Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 This is like the one I got from Lowe's about 13 years ago. I really like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
