On a topside or underbody box the door drops down and the cables catch it. They are what stops the door swinging to the end of its hinge and what holds it steady while you work out of the box. A frayed or snapped cable is both a nuisance and a hazard, and it is a cheap part to renew. Fits any UWS topside or aluminum underbody tool box. One door cable with eyelets at both ends.
What's Included:
- One door cable with eyelets at both ends
Features
Stainless Steel, Rated to 250 lb
UWS rates this cable to support up to 250 lb on the tool box lid. Stainless is the right material for a part that gets soaked in road spray and salt every winter.
12" Long With Eyelets Both Ends
The cable measures 12" and comes with eyelets already fitted, so it goes straight onto the box.
Fits Topside and Aluminum Underbody Boxes
A common part across both UWS lines rather than one tied to a single box length.

Installation
Type: Rivets to the tool box body and the door · Time: About 20 minutes · Tools: Drill and bit set, rivet gun · Difficulty: Easy to moderate
Rivets are needed and are not supplied. Support the door before removing the old cable, because once it is off, the door drops to the end of its travel under its own weight. Replace both cables at the same time if the box has two: they have done the same work.

About UWS
UWS is short for United Welding Services, a truck storage brand in the CURT Group, a Lippert company. The reason UWS catalogs a part like this one at all is the same reason its boxes are worth buying: a tool box is a long-lived thing bolted to a working truck, and the pieces that actually wear out are the handle, the lock, the gas strut, the gasket and the cables. UWS keeps those available as individual service parts instead of treating a worn latch as the end of the box.
On a topside or underbody box the door drops down and the cables catch it. They are what stops the door swinging to the end of its hinge and what holds it steady while you work out of the box. A frayed or snapped cable is both a nuisance and a hazard, and it is a cheap part to renew.
Prestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. This is a genuine UWS service part in factory packaging, not an aftermarket copy, so it carries the fit and the finish the original part left the plant with.
