I bought a Kobalt stainless steel toolbox from Lowes. It was the biggest one they had(I carry a lot of stuff). It has been great and I recommend it.

Knaack Mfg. Makes a full line of TOP quality boxes. Possibly the best line of boxes available.

I myself have a Delta. Great box, but i could use some suggestions on the best way of securing it.
It already has a lock, but i hoping to have another lock of some type installed to make sure that it's really secured...
Any suggestions/Pictures would be helpful.

MOST tool boxes come with onlyminor variations of locks/keys for the boxes. Proved to me when a friend walked over to my tool box and opened it with his key!

I immediately emptied the tool box of my toys and went to the local locksmith shop. I took out the lock cylinderand brought it in and had them order me a set of matching high security MEDECO cylinders and keys that only I can have duplicated.

Now all my tool boxes, (truck and trailers), are keyed alike and no one has a key. You would need a locksmith and probably destroy the box to get in. Don't get me wrong you can get in but it will be destroyed.

If you can't do this soon, or at all, I would remove all signs of what type of box it is and make them guess!

Since you have a sportier setup on your truck - I would just get a chest rather than the toolbox on the rails - I think your truck would look a little goofy with a toolbox on the rails.

I took care of the lock situation today. I kept the factory lock in place, had the locksmith install a lock...
Looks great, and believe me no thief/crook will be able to get in without making a racket.
