Lost the key? The cabinet does not have to be drilled
File cabinets and desk drawers often hold contracts, client files, ID, cheques or medical records. When the key goes missing, work stops until the drawer opens.
Most file cabinets and desks use a small cam lock or wafer cylinder. We check the lock first, open it without damage where we can, and only drill when there is no other way in. You do not need to move the cabinet anywhere.
On a typical visit we:
- Open the lock without damaging the cabinet whenever possible
- Cut a new key from the lock or from the key code stamped on its face
- Replace the lock with a matching cam lock if it is worn, broken or the key was stolen
- Rekey the lock so old keys no longer work
Most cabinet and desk jobs are finished in one visit.
Unlock, repair or replace
Open without damage
Most cam and wafer locks can be opened with locksmith tools. If a lock is broken inside, drilling it out and fitting a new one may be the only option, and we tell you before we start.
Key by code
Many cabinet locks have a code stamped on the face. If the lock is original and the code is readable, we can often cut a key from it without replacing anything.
Cam lock replacement
If the lock is damaged, worn out or the key was stolen, we fit a cam lock of the right length, cam shape and tailpiece. We carry common sizes, so most replacements are done during the same visit.

We give you a price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Open or replace
We try non-destructive entry first. If the lock must be replaced, we fit a cam lock that matches your cabinet.
New keys and testing
We cut keys and test the lock and the drawer bar so every drawer locks and opens smoothly before we leave.

We work with law firms, accounting offices, medical and dental clinics, property management offices, schools, corporate offices and warehouses.
