Almost anywhere, from local hardware shops upwards. Isaac Lord (webbed)
or Craft Supplies are obvious UK suppliers for small cabinetry like
this.

If it's like the usual pattern then it's just a simple drawer lock,
nothing magic. These are easier to find and fit than box locks as they
don't have such a complex keeper plate and are less fussy about fit.

The other alternative is to use the lock it already has. They're easy to
cut a key for, if you don't have the old one.

OTOH, just ignore the lock entirely. I have two similar cabinets and
I've never locked either. It's my workshop though.

Hence the Moore and Wright. A fine toolmaker. I wish their products were
more available in the US.

Hello Hushup
Are you still there?
Did you manage to replace the lock? I have the same problem. The existing is a Yale tlb17 lock and I am unable to get a replacement key. If you replaced the lock, what spec? Obviously you need the lick to keep the panel closed!
