Have one I got at Tractor Supply as a paperwork/ammo storage box. Want to replace the electronic lock with a dial lock.
TS12-30.
Winchester says it isn't possible to convert, but I'm not convinced.
True? Model numbers? Hoping for S&G or equivalent.

If it is this one in the video, then I doubt it is RSC. The lock looks like a cheap Chinese. It is probably non-standard format as it has a tubular backup lock. It is not totally impossible to make a real lock to fit, but it won't be an easy task.

So my best way forward would be to get a direct replacement lock from the factory as a hedge against future problems?

Sounds like a strategy. I am quite sure you will find that lock on aliexpress or alibaba for much less than what it would cost in the US. I find alibaba a bit awkward, but aliexpress is ok to buy something.

Good thought. I'll see if I can match up any identifying numbers.

It is difficult to find numbers and names of Chinese locks. It is probably better if you check your lock and then go by looks.
