Pretty simple job for a locksmith. That's how I got my Union toolchests keyed.
Tried three different locksmiths yesterday, regarding a key for a Gerstner and a Union box. All three said they couldn't get blanks to make the key. Thanks anyways.

Make the blanks from scratch, they are not that fussy. Then take the lock apart to see how to cut the key.

Was looking for the same and ran across this thread. On my Union tool chest, there is a number stamped on the right hand side of the lock - A50M9. I found that keys for the A50M series locks are available from Gerstner. They also sell keys for KY and E series locks.

Find a locksmith that subscribes to trade magazines, has a memory going back decades, etc.
They will know, or they will ask Dad, or Uncle, or Mom....whoever owned the shop before them.
The internet goes back to about 1995... how old is the chest?

Thanks, but not an A50 lock.

Biggest problem with union locks is they are always on break when you need them
