What's Included:
Features
Accepts a Padlock
The latch is made to take a padlock, so security is whatever padlock you put through it. No padlock is included and there is no keyed cylinder to corrode.
Polished Stainless Steel
Stainless throughout for corrosion resistance, which is what keeps a latch on a box that lives outside working year after year.
For UWS TB-1 and TB-2 Tote Boxes
UWS lists this lock specifically for the TB-1 and TB-2 tote boxes.

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.
The tote boxes latch with a twist lock rather than a keyed handle, and the latch is designed to take a padlock so you choose your own level of security. This is the replacement for a bent or seized one.
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.
