File Cabinets
Filing cabinets protect documents you don't want prying eyes to see. Their small, discreet keys are also easy to lose. Before you pry the drawer open (and ruin the cabinet), call a locksmith who can open it without damage. Each cabinet lock is a bit different, so we assess the situation and choose the right method.
Desks
Desk locks range from simple lever locks to pin-tumbler and disc locks. A trained locksmith can identify which type you have and the best way to open it — even when the key is broken or missing.
What We Can Do
- Open locked desks, credenzas and filing cabinets
- Make new keys for cabinet and furniture locks
- Rekey or replace cabinet locks — including keying multiple cabinets alike
- Repair sticking or broken drawer lock mechanisms
Because access to these documents is often time-sensitive, we work to get you in quickly. Ask about our V.I.P. 24 hour emergency service plans. For larger valuables, consider a safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a key for my file cabinet without the original?
Usually, yes. Many cabinet locks have a code stamped on the face we can cut a key from; otherwise we can decode or replace the cylinder.
Can multiple cabinets use the same key?
Yes — we can key cabinets alike so one key opens them all.
