Pic of key please?
I have a toolbox that I got from luray and I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the key that would fit it. I am able to make my own key if I get a a picture of the key.

There's a huge variety of boxes and keys. You're unlikely to find a picture of the right key for your box. I would take it to a locksmith to see if you can have a key made.
The inevitable often happens.

Some of those boxes use a key similar to an old suitcase key. Simple, flat, and only one tooth. Anyone of average DIY skills could make one with a little trial and error. A good locksmith might even have a ready made one hanging on a hook just waiting for you.
Some of those tool boxes need a special key. Still simple by key standards, but more complicated with maybe a hollow shaft, and two or three different height teeth. Those may require a locksmith to make one.

Couldn't tell exactly what tool box you have from the picture - have seen many similar
Here are some previous MTFCA discussions about tool box keys. Hope it helps

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
