Tool box locks

Expensive tools for car repair should be stored in locked drawers. In particular, when using the lock of your tool trolley, you will be sure of the safety of your equipment, and avoid accidental opening of the drawers during relocation of the trolley.

Types

• Retainers. They do not lock the tools inside the drawers but prevent inadvertent opening of the latter. They have simple design and are inexpensive.
• Locks. The contents can only be accessed using a key. It can be cylindrical or flat. The devices of this type may be:
  • Central lock. This is a common lock for several compartments united by a rail with retaining elements. They all lock simultaneously when the key is turned.
  • Built-in lock. It is built into particular compartment and restricts access to it only.
  • Padlock. It fastens together the staples outside the box and prevents opening it.
