I just inherited an old office cabinet and of course there’s no key anywhere—how to open hon file cabinet without key without totally destroying it?
If you don’t have the key, you can try opening a HON file cabinet in this order:
- Get a replacement key (recommended): Use the cabinet model or lock number to order a new key from the manufacturer.
- Try simple picking: Use a paperclip or thin wire to gently manipulate the lock (only works on simple locks).
- Call a locksmith: A professional can open it without damaging the cabinet.
- Force it open (last resort): This may damage the lock or cabinet, so it’s not recommended.
It’s best to start with getting a replacement key or contacting a locksmith.
