We check before we install

Cabinet locks are not one-size-fits-all. Before fitting a new lock we check the cabinet make, the cam or lock-bar mechanism and the key code, so the new lock fits properly and works with every drawer. For offices with many cabinets, we can key them alike or include them in a master key system.

Who needs better cabinet locks

Medical and legal offices, HR departments, accounting firms and anyone storing personal data on paper should treat cabinet locks as part of their security. Original locks on older cabinets are often basic and many share the same few key codes.

Locked out of a cabinet now?

Call 202-558-0020. If you can see a code stamped on the lock face, have it ready. It may let us cut a key rather than open the lock.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a key for my file cabinet without the original?

Often, yes. Many cabinet locks have a code stamped on the face that lets us cut a matching key.

Can all our cabinets use one key?

Yes. We can rekey or replace cylinders so a set of cabinets opens with the same key.

Will opening the cabinet damage it?

We try non-destructive methods first. If a lock must be drilled, we will tell you and replace the cylinder.
