File cabinets and desks

Most office furniture locks are simple wafer or pin cylinders. A locksmith can usually open them without harm, then rekey the cylinder or fit a new one with two keys. High-security file cabinets take more time. Mention the brand and model if you can see them.

Keep spare furniture keys in a labelled envelope in a locked drawer elsewhere. It sounds obvious until the day it's needed.

About safes

Read this before you call: the price list says unlocking a safe starts at $85 and that damage will occur, and the safe won't be usable afterwards. That is the forced-entry option. It suits small, inexpensive safes where the contents matter more than the box. For a valuable safe, ask whether a manufacturer reset or a specialist safe technician would be the better route.

Common jobs in 92815

• File cabinet opening. Cabinet opened, cylinder rekeyed or replaced, keys supplied.

• Small safe entry. Forced entry for small safes, with the stated damage, at your request.
• Cabinet key cutting. Spare keys cut from the cylinder code where available.

Choosing a better cabinet lock

Basic furniture locks are there to keep honest people honest. If a cabinet holds payroll records or customer files, ask about higher-security cylinders or a cabinet with a lock bar. Combination locks remove the key problem entirely, though someone still needs to manage the code. Whatever you choose, keep a record of key numbers. Many cabinet keys can be cut from the number stamped on the lock face.
