Are File Cabinet Keys Universal?

This might be a silly question, but are file cabinet keys universal? I found a random key in a drawer and it actually opens one of my cabinets.

No, file cabinet keys are generally not universal, as each key is designed to match a specific lock cylinder and key code.

Most file cabinets use unique keying systems, so keys from different brands, models, or even different production batches of the same brand are often not interchangeable.

However, some office furniture manufacturers use a limited range of lock codes, which means a single key may occasionally open multiple file cabinets.

If a key is lost, you can usually order a replacement by providing the lock number to the manufacturer or a locksmith.
