Poor engineering on a simple box/lid isn't a great product imo.
But the price was right, so I guess we got what we paid for.

I don't have the slim like yours, but it shuts just as crooked. lol

You guys know you can adjust the catch pins in the toolbox (on most) that the latch grabs hold of? I have a Delta Contractors box that I was able to get pretty much straight by doing that. Before adjusting the catch pins, it was pretty bad.

^I never bothered to look if there was anything adjustable. It shut just fine at first, then when it went out of whack, I figured the mounting point of the catch bent since the diamond plate is so thin.

Thanks for the tip.
I'll take a look and see if I can adjust it.

Here is mine.
Weather Guard Chest.
I set it up on 3" Box steel so it would sit flush with the bed rails.

Sorry the picture quality is bad, and that I didn't clear off the snow. But its too dang cold to be outside too much!

Anybody ever put a toolbox longways in the bed so it doesn't take up the full length of the bed?
