apron; case
Explanation:
I think it's likely to be one of these two. The former is suggested by Dicdata, the latter by Laixicon.

Eurodicautom also suggests both apron and case. It defines a case as being part of a lock, and suggests \"lock casing\" too.

Lock


Explanation:
is what I think the writer means here. I cannot see the logic behind using the expression "Schlosskasten", which as Rowan correctly says means "lock casing" (and also lock plate or socket, according to Ernst) and then "komplett", which suggests it has all the innards as well, when the correct term there would surely have been "Schloss", which is complete by definition, as I understand it.
