I had soaked the lock in a penetrating lubricant for a couple of weeks to see if the internal mechanism would loosen up.
I don't have a key for the lock so using a small metal file, I can turn the lock mechanism but the locking tab does not move.
Oh well...
A lot of the rust on the lock has been cleaned off using steel wool.
These some left in pits but decided to leave some patina to better match the overall condition of the tool chest.
Also used some very fine sand paper on the lock (400 grit).
Cleaned the heads of the screws also...
Lock placed back on the front lid...
Screws placed...
Finished...
