Tips for Removing Damaged Lock Core of Sears Cargo Box with Stuck Key

Question

Question:

Key has been broken off in the lock cylinder and i cannot get it out. I have another key. Do you have any tricks that may work? I have tried a paper clip, small screw driver, and trying to drill the key out. I believe the lock cylinder is now damaged beyond repair. I cannot figure out how take off the cylinder. there are not any screws to take it apart. I think I need to replace it, but have no clue. Thanks

If you drilled the lock core then I'd imagine it is most likely damaged beyond repair at this point. Getting the lock core out now that it's permanently damaged will be difficult. You can continue drilling it till it's totally destroyed and able to be pulled out or you could take it to a locksmith to have them advise you on the best approach considering it's current situation.

Then for a kit to give you a new set of cores, keys, and change keys we have the Thule kit part # TH450200
that you can use to install new locks.
