First Case - Need Experts Help

I'll try to get some measurements. Case is not currently in my possession yet.

You can still find the oem locks out there for that case

Got any part reference numbers?

Got any part reference numbers?

I think I have it saved at home possibly

Pretty sure it’s one of these two sets. I was able to find the original lock and key part number after a few minutes search and found there a few yrs back. They were listed on eBay at the time but again, they’re quite common.

Ok and are these for the door or the drawer? Or both?

Use Sheila Shine and a metal MicroFiber cloth and you will get your Aluminum back to OEM.
Start with Spray 9 degreaser, and finish with Sheila shine.

Anything else I’ve found will polish or otherwise refinish the metal - Sheila Shine simply cleans it fully, no other changes. (These 3 were black and tarnished badly)

You can flame polish the edges of the shelves and door - do not put a flame to the center of the plexi.
(Two cut with a fine tooth blade, the other two cut with rougher blade)

Here are the best estimated measurements I can come up with for my large acrylic door. Once you get your case, see if my door would fit inside the opening.

Full Door Size: 43 3/4" Tall x 11 7/8" Wide x 5/16" Thick
Two Upper Hinge Holes (Centers): Both 3/4" from Edge, 3 1/16" from top and 4 9/16" from top
Two Lower Hinge Holes (Centers): Both 3/4" from Edge, 5" from bottom and 3 9/16" from bottom
Two Lock Holes (Centers): Both 11/16" from Edge, 3 3/16" from top and 4 1/4" from bottom

I don't have hole sizes. I recommend going 1/8" larger than your bolt and lock sizes.

Check the hinges attached to the frame. Mine are 33 3/16" apart; I'm curious to know if the bottom drawer version has the same top door as the bottom door version.

Thanks for that. I will report back when I get the measurements.

You can use a torch to help polish up the acrylic (plexiglass) once everything is clean. It will help remove minor scratches and imperfections.

Feed the inquiring minds!!
