Craftsman 706139910 tool chest Parts

On a Craftsman tool chest like model 706139910, the model number is typically on an identification label or stamp on the cabinet body, not on a drawer. Check the back panel first, then the inside frame near the drawer openings; confirm the exact format in the owner's manual.

Common places to check on a Craftsman tool chest

Look in these spots in order (they are the most common and easiest to access):

• Back panel: a sticker label or a number stamped into the metal
• Inside the cabinet frame: vertical support near the drawer openings
• Side panel or end brace: often near the lower rear corner
• Inside the top lid area (if your unit has a top compartment)
• Near the lock area: around the door or lock cutout on units with a door

How to find it fast (no disassembly)

1. Pull the chest 6 to 12 inches away from the wall.
2. Use a flashlight and scan the upper and lower back panel for a label.
3. If you do not see a label, look for a stamped number along seams, braces, or vertical supports.
4. Write down everything you see (letters, dashes, and spaces) before searching.

Label vs. stamp: what you are looking for

What you see	What it means	Best next step
Printed sticker/label	Most common on newer chests	Copy the full model number exactly
Stamped/embossed digits	Common on older or heavy-duty frames	Check multiple panels for the full string
Multiple numbers (model/serial)	Normal; serial is not the model	Use the one labeled “model” or closest match to 706139910

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct drawer slides, rails, lock parts, and hardware. Even similar-looking Craftsman tool chests can use different drawer assemblies and fasteners, so the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong parts.

Yes. On the Craftsman tool chest model 706139910, you can remove the drawers by fully extending each drawer, releasing the slide stops on both sides, and then pulling the drawer out. This is useful for cleaning, lubricating slides, or reducing weight before moving the chest.

How to remove a drawer (slide-stop method)

• Fully extend the drawer.
• Push the drawer back in slightly (about 1/8 inch).
• Insert a flat screwdriver into the slot in the slide.
• Depress the stop until it clears the latch (do this on both slides).
• Pull the drawer straight out while holding both stops released.
• Set the drawer on a flat surface to avoid bending the slides.

How to reinstall the drawer

• Pull the slide stop outward to engage the latch (typically about 3/16 to 1/4 inch).
• Set the drawer onto both slides evenly.
• Push the drawer in until the stops snap past the latches.
• Open and close the drawer a few times to confirm smooth travel.

Moving the tool chest safely (important)

The manual calls out tip-over risk when drawers are open. Before moving the chest:

• Close and latch all drawers.
• Move one drawer at a time if you are removing multiple drawers.
• Keep the load low and centered (heavy tools in lower drawers).
• Avoid rolling over cords, thresholds, or debris.
• Do not move the unit on a truck bed or other moving object.

Task	Best practice	Why it helps
Drawer removal	Release both slide stops	Prevents slide damage and binding
Slide care	Lightly lubricate slide channels yearly	Reduces sticking and wear
Moving	Close drawers before rolling	Helps prevent tipping

Why it matters

Drawer slides can bind or get damaged if the stops are forced. Removing drawers the right way protects the slide latches, keeps drawers aligned, and makes the tool chest easier and safer to handle.

For the exact slide-stop location and drawer handling notes for model 706139910, use the owner's manual.

We don’t provide instructions for bypassing the lock on a Craftsman tool chest like model 706139910 using a paperclip. The reliable way to regain access is to use the correct key or service the lock and door alignment using the procedures in the 706139910 owner's manual.

What to do first (non-destructive checks)

• Remove pressure on the latch: gently push the door or drawer front inward while turning the key.
• Check for binding: a slightly racked cabinet or overloaded drawer can twist the frame and pinch the lock.
• Verify drawers are fully closed; a drawer that is out of square can interfere with the lock cam.
• Inspect the door catch area for bent metal or debris.
• Use a small amount of dry lubricant (graphite or a lock-safe spray) in the keyway; avoid oil that attracts grit.

Lock service steps the manual supports

The 706139910 manual covers lock assembly details such as inserting the lock (with the locking cam vertical), seating the retaining clip, and removing the lock by driving out the retaining clip. Follow the lock assembly section in the manual so the cam and catch align correctly.

Symptom	Most common cause	Best next step
Key won’t turn	Cylinder dirty or under side-load	Relieve pressure, apply dry lube
Key turns, won’t open	Cam not engaging catch, door binding	Check alignment, inspect catch area
Lock feels loose	Retaining clip not seated	Reseat clip per manual

Why it matters

Paperclip picking can deform the cylinder and cam, turning a simple access problem into a lock replacement. Using the manual’s lock and alignment procedures protects the door, catch, and security of your tool chest.
