Royal Enfield Tool Box Lock LH/RH with Key 597127 for Classic 350/500, Bullet, Electra & Thunderbird

Royal Enfield 597127 Tool Box Lock LH/RH with Key is a genuine toolbox / side-box lock used on compatible Royal Enfield motorcycles where this lock reference is specified. It is commonly searched as a Royal Enfield toolbox lock, side toolbox lock, tool box lock with key, side box lock, LH/RH toolbox lock, Classic 350 toolbox lock or Bullet tool box key lock.

This lock is used for the motorcycle’s left-hand and right-hand toolbox / side toolbox lids. It is the correct OE-style replacement when the original lock is missing, jammed, rusted, damaged, loose, key-broken, or no longer locking the toolbox properly. It is also useful during toolbox restoration, body-panel repair, repainting work, or replacement of worn side-box hardware on older Royal Enfield models.

Public Royal Enfield parts references identify 597127 as Tool Box Lock LH/RH with Key. Seller references list it for older Royal Enfield platforms including Classic 350, Classic 500 EFI, Bullet 350 UCE KS, Bullet 500 UCE, Electra 350 UCE ES, TBTS / Thunderbird references and several older Bullet-family models. Because toolbox design and lock slot shape can vary by year and body style, this listing keeps fitment conservative and part-number-led.

Use this genuine Royal Enfield lock only where 597127 is specified for the LH/RH toolbox lock application. This is not an ignition switch, not a steering lock, not a fuel tank cap, not a battery cover lock, not a toolbox lid, and not a universal cabinet lock.
