I did check with Startech and they used to offer replacement keys *with*

For whatever reason, the front and back doors use a double-sided key
that's quite different from the side panels, which use what look to be
commodity cam locks.
Oh well, not that I want to lock this thing, but the side panels use the
cam locks as part of the retention mechanism. At least those can be
easily and cheaply replaced.

Deviant Ollam on Youtube does some fantastic
lectures/videos on
physical security, and makes it horrifyingly clear how pointless locks
and physical security often is.
Locks, of any type, only keep honest people honest.
Actually stopping would be bad actors is an entirely different problem.
To whit, many locks / enclosures are simply tamper evidence tags.
