BrandFX Camper Shell cores?

Postby lokichoki » 11 Aug 2020 10:27

my work truck camper shell is a BrandFX 0821506 all three of its cores (CH501) are trash and I've been having to jiggle them to use them (no key anyway). Where can I find these cores? I contacted BrandFX but at $120 for the 3 I have to do better or the company won't let me secure my tools!!!

This will not secure your tools by the way, anyone can pick those in 10 seconds flat.

You could have a locksmith just cut the correct key for about $15.

Thank you for the link I believe that should work, as for the cores currently on the shell they are broken or corroded past usefulness, yes they are super easy to pick even broken my sparrows car jigglers are as fast as keys, this truck is for a new hire and we need at least to show he can store his tools out of town even though we all know how easy these are to pick and that it only keeps honest men out. That said Can anyone recommend something more secure in that sjze?
