I have a solution for you, however there is no locking mechanism for the feet themselves. The feet are designed to only be able to be unscrewed from the inside, and a proper installation goes a long way to securing the feet against removal from the outside.

If you're looking to replace the locks on the physical box themselves, they are SKS style locks. A new set of 2 locks plus keys and change key is available as part # Y07202
