Has anyone changed the toolboxes(sorry for the wrong name) and the battery boxes to a key lock over the current army setup?
I know it can be done. I am hoping someone can save me time by pointing me in the right direction. if not then I will work it out and share.

I didn't alter the standard (square key) locks, I just left them in place as they were and added an unobtrusive keyed camlock each locker door. It would be relatively simple to have each camlock act on the square key barrel but I didn't have time to do the engineering, I was heading off on a trip during which the vehicle would sometimes be parked in motel carparks.

Carparks tend to be a honeypots for local druggies looking for cash converting items in NSW country towns.

Be aware that any lock, even an ugly staple and hasp, will only stop the littlest kids & fiddlers - a determined thief will get past those flimsy locker doors very simply.
