I have a rhino tube, I hope there stronger than you make out... I thought the end caps break off but keep the main chassis locked... Maybe not tho?
 
Got van vault ones and all the keys are the same ..... Don't buy tube just linger in merchants car park with key. 28mm takes a few trys.
 
Just rang a Rhino dealer and including shipping a new end cap is Ā£42. Hardly worth it really, I will repair this one and just leave it unlocked.

This is the older style pipe tube with the plastic ends, no metal.
 
The new ones are no better the little arm which locks it can be bent easily enough to open it had mine done 3 times, now i just cut the pipe in half and stick it in the van, but I don't do much install anymore anyway
