Unfortunately, there isn't a better quality lock available. To remove the old lock, first take out the bucket, then carefully remove the cable from the latch and slide the mounting shim off of the lock. It's pretty easy to fix.

As for the oil drain, always use the correct sized socket and a 3/8 or 12" drive ratchet. Do not tighten the plug back in as tight as it is now, it should only be tight enough to not shake out. When you have the oil drain plug removed, take it to an autoparts store and get a new o-ring, as yours will be deformed if it is excessively tight
