HYWJC Paddle Latch Toolbox Lock 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" Stainless Steel with Keys & Gasket

HYWJC paddle latch is a replacement stainless steel toolbox lock with two keys and a waterproof gasket sized 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" for secure, corrosion-resistant closure.

Built from 304 stainless steel, this paddle-style latch is designed to replace worn or damaged locks on toolboxes, truck storage boxes, and equipment chests. It combines weather resistance with a low-profile paddle handle and a snap-shut keyhole cover to keep dust and moisture out. The package includes the latch, a sponge gasket for sealing, and two matching keys so you can fit it quickly and get back to work.

How durable is this latch in outdoor or marine conditions?

The latch body is crafted from 304 stainless steel, giving it solid resistance to rust and many corrosive elements found outdoors or near seawater. The included sponge gasket and an automatic keyhole cover help reduce water ingress into the lock cylinder and cabinet interior.

• 304 stainless construction for corrosion resistance
• Sealing sponge gasket to block moisture
• Self-closing keyhole cover to prevent dust and rain entry
• Suitable for harsh environments and road vibration

Will it fit my existing toolbox or truck box opening?

The latch measures approximately 5.51" x 4.33" (5-1/2" x 4-1/4") and mounts using screws through drilled holes, so it fits most standard paddle-latch cutouts or can be adapted with simple patching. Installation requires marking and drilling mounting holes on the box surface, then fastening with screws.

• Overall faceplate 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" for common retrofit sizes
• Mounts with screws—no complex mechanisms needed
• Easy to replace worn assemblies in minutes
• Can be used on small cargo boxes up to large tool chests

What security and convenience features does it offer?

This paddle latch secures with a keyed lock and includes two standard keys so you have a spare on hand. The paddle handle provides quick access while the keyhole cover and gasket help keep the interior dry and free of grit that can impede lock operation.

• Two matching keys included for immediate use and a backup
• Paddle handle for fast opening without bulky knobs
• Automatic keyhole cover reduces dirt buildup in the cylinder
• Sponge seal improves waterproofing around the mount

How straightforward is installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable drilling and fastening hardware. Clean the mounting area, trace and drill the holes, place the sponge gasket, then secure the latch with screws; periodic lubrication of the lock cylinder will keep the keys turning smoothly.

• Simple hole-drill and screw-fastening installation
• Includes gasket for immediate waterproofing during install
• Minimal maintenance: clean debris and occasionally lubricate lock
• Quick swap-out to replace damaged or corroded old latches
