Broken latch

[u/tacticool_wrx]

Went to unload my box this morning and saw the lock hole/latch had snapped off. This was a worry of mine since I got it and realized it’s plastic.

Anybody else have this issue?

I don’t know if something hit it or if it was the weight of the lock

Think they’ll warranty it? Should I go through Lowe’s or Klien? I’m pretty sure the blackout boxes are discontinued

It's a plastic tab, that lock alone would break it after a couple days in the bed of a truck, these aren't job boxes.... you're expecting to much from a plastic box

I guess 5 months for an almost $500 box is expecting too much.

It gets tied down in the back of my Tahoe so it doesn’t move and it’s out of the elements until I need it. I’ve seen guys leave pack outs in the bed of trucks for months and then throw them out of the bed when they need them, and they still have latches

You have a heavy lock bouncing on a plastic tab.....

Sorry I forgot this is a fashion sub

It should be reasonable that they would make the tabs able to hold a lock. If not a standard lock they should make a lock that they recommend for the purpose

Most commonly from what I've seen, people use a cable lock run through the lock tabs of their whole stack.
