File cabinets, desk drawers, credenzas, and lateral files all use small cam locks or pin tumbler cylinders that can be lost, worn out, or rekeyed as needed. The work is quick but requires specific tools and blank inventory for the different office furniture brands.
Common brands include Hon, Steelcase, Knoll, Herman Miller, Global, Haworth, and dozens of office furniture manufacturers. Each uses slightly different cylinder sizes and cam configurations. We stock the most common cylinders and can source unusual ones within a few days.

Office furniture lock variety
Office furniture locks come in many varieties. Cam locks are the most common for file cabinets and desk drawers - a small cylinder that rotates a flat cam to engage a strike in the drawer frame. Cam locks come in different lengths (1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch) and different keyway profiles depending on manufacturer.
Pin tumbler cylinders appear on higher-end office furniture, credenzas, and lateral file cabinets. These work like residential door cylinders but in smaller sizes for office furniture applications. Typical sizes are 3/4 inch to 1 inch diameter.
Hon is the most common office furniture brand in the US, using a standard cam lock that we stock in multiple variations. Steelcase uses their own keyway profile. Knoll, Herman Miller, and other high-end brands use proprietary keyways that may require sourcing.
