File Cabinets

File Cabinet Lock Replacement and Repair

Filing cabinets use a variety of lock types depending on the manufacturer and age of the unit. Vertical file cabinets typically use a plunger-style lock in the top drawer that controls a locking bar running down through every drawer. Lateral file cabinets often use a cam lock or sliding bolt mechanism. When the key is lost, the lock jams, or the mechanism breaks, we open the cabinet and replace or rekey the lock on-site.

  • Vertical file cabinets - plunger locks, locking bar replacements, and new key cylinders for 2-, 4-, and 5-drawer units
  • Lateral file cabinets - cam locks, sliding bolt locks, and push-button locks replaced or rekeyed
  • Fireproof file cabinets - specialty locks for fire-rated units from brands like FireKing, Schwab, and Chubb
  • Key-alike service - multiple cabinets rekeyed to one key so one key opens all your filing cabinets

Desks & Office Furniture

Desk Drawer Locks, Credenzas, and Office Storage

Office desks use several lock styles. Pedestal desks typically have a single lock that controls all drawers on one side. Center-drawer locks may be separate. Credenzas and storage cabinets use cam locks, tubular locks, or wafer locks depending on the brand. We open, replace, and rekey locks on all types of office furniture.

  • Pedestal desk locks - single lock controlling multiple drawers, cylinder replacement and rekeying
  • Center drawer locks - individual drawer locks opened, replaced, or rekeyed
  • Credenza and hutch locks - cam locks and tubular locks for sliding doors and cabinet doors
  • Storage cabinets and lockers - metal and wood cabinet locks, locker cam locks, and supply closet hardware
  • Cubicle overhead bin locks - replacement locks for overhead storage in modular office systems

Key Management

Key-Alike and Keyed-Different Options for Your Office

If you manage an office with multiple file cabinets and desks, we can set up a key system that makes sense for your workflow. Key all cabinets alike so one key opens everything, or key them differently so each employee has access only to their assigned furniture. We can also integrate furniture locks into an existing master key system for your building.

  • Keyed alike - one key opens all selected cabinets and desks
  • Keyed different - each piece of furniture has its own unique key
  • Master keyed - individual keys for each unit, plus a master key that opens all of them
  • Restricted keys - high-security cylinders with keys that cannot be duplicated without authorization

What to Expect

How We Handle Office Furniture Lock Service

We come to your office with tools and replacement locks, so most jobs are completed in a single visit.

1 Identify the Lock Type

We look at the cabinet or desk, identify the lock style, brand, and cylinder type. This tells us whether the lock can be rekeyed, needs a new cylinder, or requires a full lock replacement.

2 Open the Lock

If you are locked out, we pick, bypass, or decode the lock to get the cabinet or drawer open without damaging the furniture. In rare cases with severely damaged mechanisms, we may need to drill the lock.

3 Replace or Rekey

Once the lock is open, we install a new lock cylinder or rekey the existing one. You get working keys on the spot. If you have multiple pieces of furniture, we handle them all in the same visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

File Cabinet & Desk Lock Questions

Can you open a locked file cabinet without the key?

Yes. We open locked file cabinets using professional lock picking, impressioning, or bypass tools. In most cases the cabinet is opened without any damage. Once open, we can replace the lock or rekey it so you have working keys again.

Can you replace a file cabinet lock with a different key?

Yes. We remove the old lock cylinder and install a new one keyed to a fresh key. If you have multiple cabinets, we can key them alike so one key opens all of them, or key them differently for separate access.

Do you work on desk drawer locks?

Yes. We service locks on desk pedestals, center drawers, credenzas, and lateral file drawers. We can open a locked desk, replace a broken lock, or rekey the existing lock to a new key.

Can file cabinet locks be keyed to match my office door key?

In some cases, yes. If the cabinet lock uses a standard pin-tumbler cylinder compatible with your door key brand, we can rekey it to match. If the lock types are incompatible, we can install a compatible cylinder. We assess the hardware on-site and let you know what is possible.

How much does it cost to replace a file cabinet lock?

Pricing depends on the cabinet type, lock style, and whether the lock is a standard replacement or a specialty size. Call us with details about your cabinet and we can give you a quote before scheduling the work.
