Desk, file cabinet and records locks
Locked filing cabinets are easy to forget until the key goes missing. Many cabinets use simple wafer locks that we can open and rekey, while high-security cabinets need more care to avoid damaging the drawers.
If cabinets hold personal or confidential records, think about key control as well as the lock itself: who holds keys, whether copies are tracked, and whether a lock should be changed when someone leaves. We can rekey cabinets to a common key for one department or to different keys for different staff, and replace damaged lock cores.
Small offices often keep the only key to a filing cabinet on a hook next to it, which defeats the purpose of the lock. A simple key cabinet, a sign-out sheet, or keying each cabinet to a key held by its department lead closes that gap. Desks shared between shifts can be fitted with locks that use a control key, so a manager can change the lock core without calling a locksmith each time. If a cabinet holds personnel files or payment records, mention it so we can suggest a higher-security core.
