I’m so annoyed and appreciative at same time. For years I’ve been contemplating to remove it all and fix it, and randomly decided to search internet to find this SUPER easy fix. Dumbfounded that all it was, annoyed it took this long. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I just kept on jiggling the draws while turning the key until it finally unlocked. Took some force on the key.

This shouldn't take any force at all. Check your tabs. On my box every single one was bent inwards

This is a perfect example of the kind of bad manufacturing / design decisions which don't measurably affect material cost, but dramatically impact user experience. The locking tabs in the hutch lid of my chest are ridiculously flimsy, and their crude design look like an afterthought, installed with two (one one tab) or three (on the other tab) poorly-done spot welds. Those tabs could have been made 3x thicker without raising the cost of the tool chest one red cent. Putting four decent spot welds on each tab might have raised the price tag by a penny though. Can't have that!

I just started having the very same problem. Only a few months old. Do you think if i remove the draws , should i bend out the tabs on the locking bar; slightly ? Im guessing itll make better contact with the draws is there's a little more clearance for the tabs .. ??
@scrapyardbuilder1989

You could, but, I think it's easier to just close firmly ( with both hands ) when ready to lock. The tabs might not be easy to budge.

True fix to this guys. My guy is right but unfortunately huskey just needs to thick lube the sliders that turn as your turning the key. Simple fix: Grab your WD-40 or whatever sray (with straw) lubricsnt you can get. Open first drawer fully. With a light look in the back of the tool box and you'll see where the sliders move up and down at a angle as you turn the key. Spray those a few times. Fixed. They just get tight because of weight and metal to metal needs lubricant!

Lubing never hurts, but if you have the drawer too far away the slider and slot will not align.

I have a husky pro with 13 drawers, and I can’t open the drawers on the right hand side. The locking mechanism was removed. At least the key part of it was any ideas how I can open up my drawers to get to my tools. Everything was working well before I move the toolbox.

Mine is locking fine, its struggles to unlock. First it would sieze at about 90*, now that its open i can see the bars at the back done fully disengaging. Not sure why the key seized but the transfer bar moves back and forth a lot...

I wonder if you could access the rods from underneath. other than that I'm not sure. check all drawers to see if one didn't lock, so you could pull it out and raise rod that way. good luck

Still better than the flimsy Craftsman I had. But yes they could design a little smoother closing drawer. Or just a bigger loop to catch on. I think for the price compared to Mac and Snapon is good.
