I have lost the keys to my storm/screen door. Is there a way to just change that little lock box or do I need a locksmith to make new keys.

    I would remove the lock and buy a new outfit.

  • You can pick up a new one at just about any hardware store

      So I went to "hardware store"this past week and they thought I was Crazy. I explained that I just need the little two inch box that housed the lock . Handel for the door is not attached o the lock and does not need to be replaced. I looked in the door and window section but all of the lock and key tumblers were way too big???

  • Most people working at hardware stores are boneheads.If you have an orchard supply near you, they have a whole isle dedicated to locks. Theyre closing all of their stores pretty soon so theres tons of sales right now too.Can you post a pic? I can do a bit of research for you

  • Is it a dead bolt? The knob? Or both?

    You could go to Home Depot and buy another and lock set and replace it
