You may contact them for a free lock http://www.lanefurniture.com/CustomerService/Lock-Replacement.aspx replacement lock, if yours is within the years of the recall. The value of your Lane cedar chest will depend on its age. Generally, the older a Lane cedar chest is, the higher its value. Lane cedar chests produced after 1940 are not as valuable as those produced in the 1920s and 1930s. Lane cedar chests are marked with a serial number. The serial number can be found on the back, bottom or inside of the chest. To determine the manufacturing date of your chest, contact Lane Company with the serial number.
