Toolbox Lock Seal or Gasket Availability?

Not the door seal, that goes around the perimeter of the swing down door, but the rubber seal that surrounds the lock and latch assembly. Anyone found something suitable? Of course, this is for a dentside but I believe the earlier Fords use the same thing.
thanks in advance.

I got mine from a horse trailer manufacturer. The latches have been used on LOTS of different types of trailers and applications.

I need a new lock. Mine works as in shuts and stays shut and opens fine but there isnt a spot for a key, just a hole.... Any of you know where to get a replacement?

Ace Hardware..

It's just a cabinet lock, easy to find. Just grind off the peened over part that holds the (um) lever that rotates to hold it shut.Pops right out.

There will be 3 different lengths so just match yours up with the new one.Also, rubber roofing is just about the prefect thickness to cut a new gasket out of.
