Filing Cabinet Keys

Filing cabinet keys open the cylinder locks at the top of vertical and lateral filing cabinets, which usually lock every drawer at once. The key number is almost always stamped on the face of the lock, often with a letter prefix that identifies the series or manufacturer.Read the full code carefully before ordering, as some cabinets have the lock fitted at an angle and digits are easy to misread. If the number on the lock differs from the one on an old key, trust the lock, since cylinders are sometimes replaced over the years.If the cabinet is locked, the key is lost and the code has worn away, a locksmith can open it and fit a new cylinder. Offices replacing keys across a whole run of cabinets can set up a trade account at Key Factory for Business for bulk ordering.
