Cabinet, Drawer and Locker Locks: Opening and Replacement
A filing cabinet nobody can open, a desk drawer with the key gone, or a locker with a lost key: Uncle Thomas opens cabinet, drawer and locker locks and fits new locks with new keys.
- Homes & offices
- New lock, new keys
- Price agreed first
The short answer: WhatsApp 9224 9224 a photo of the lock and the furniture. We open it with as little damage as possible and fit a new lock with new keys, so the lost key no longer works.
Locks we open and replace
- Filing cabinets and office pedestals.
- Desk and drawer locks.
- Wardrobe and cupboard locks.
- Staff lockers at offices, gyms and schools, with management's permission.
- Display cabinets in shops.
- Key cabinets and cash drawers.
Many of these use small cam locks or plunger locks, which can be swapped for a new lock with new keys. For a heavier cabinet that's really a safe, see safe opening.
We don't cut keys
We don't duplicate or cut keys. If a cabinet key is lost, we replace the lock and give you a new set, which is also more secure: the lost key stops working.
For offices
- Staff turnover: change cabinet and locker locks when keys can't be accounted for.
- Several locks at once: send photos of each and we'll quote them together.
- Authorisation and invoices: we confirm the request comes from the business, and issue invoices.
