Question Any way to get replacement key (the round kind) for a Matco box?

Well, I ordered their Service Cart (MSC4) that has the round vending machine style lock, and it only came with 2 keys. I would love to have 2 more to put back as spares.

I called them, and they said I couldn't get another key, only order a new lock with new keys. The new lock wouldn't be able to be matched to my old keys either, so I would assume I'd be in the same shape doing that too (1 lock with 2 keys). Is there an alternative for a replacement key besides Matco?

I just did the same thing you did with my service cart. My matco tool dealer took the numbers off the key and ordered 2 new one's along with a new box key. So i know its possible. But if they won't then the only place is a lock smith
