Might be worth getting a central locking kit from somewhere like Brisbane Car Sound, and wiring it up somehow to the toolbox.
If it's a Ute with a monterous toolbox on the back, I have seen a setup where the guy had his toolbox set up on his alarm system, where the boot release activated the toolbox lock, to toggle between open and closed.
It was a great setup, because his ute was the target (along with my car) of constant break-ins, and they would get into his tool box by ripping the lid open, or hacksawing the lock, then get the tools out of his ute to get into my car.
After he put the locking kit in, no problems, but it was an engineering nightmare for him, he had to get lock pieces from the wreckers, and fabricate the internal section of thye toolbox to be almost exactly the same as a car boot, with a U-bolt, the latch, a cable pull for the boot release, and rubber bumps to give the lid pressure to pop when the lock was activated.
