When moving offices, we found that the lock on the filing cabinet was broken. Does anyone know how to replace filing cabinet lock?
Replacing a filing cabinet lock is relatively simple. Follow these steps:
Purchase a new lock kit: First, buy a new lock cylinder that matches your filing cabinet's brand (e.g., HON, Safco) or size. The lock kit usually includes the lock cylinder and a control key.
Unlock and remove the old lock cylinder: Use the control key or a key puller to rotate the old lock cylinder to the unlocked position, releasing it. Different lock types (like cam locks or core locks) might have slightly different unlocking methods, but the general process is the same.
Install the new lock cylinder: Insert the new lock cylinder into the lock housing, and turn the new key to secure it in place.
Secure the lock cylinder and bolt: In some cases, you may need to remove the top drawer to access screws or the locking mechanism. Make sure the new lock is fully installed and secure.
The process usually doesn't require special tools, and if you're unsure how to disassemble, a locksmith can help or even install a master key system for you.
