I just moved into an old office space and inherited a locked filing cabinet. Anyone know if can a file cabinet be rekeyed or do I basically have to replace the whole lock system?
Yes, a file cabinet lock can usually be rekeyed.
Whether it is possible depends on the lock type. Most file cabinets use cam locks or wafer-tumbler locks, and some models allow rekeying by replacing internal wafers or reconfiguring the cylinder.
However, many are not designed to be rekeyed and are instead made to be fully replaced.
In practice, because file cabinet locks are inexpensive (often just a few dollars to a few tens of dollars), it is more common and cost-effective to replace the entire lock or cylinder rather than rekey it.
For office file cabinets, a locksmith can usually complete the replacement within minutes.
