What file cabinet + office furniture locks actually involves in Delray Beach

Office furniture locks are a category most locksmiths skip. The cylinders are smaller (usually 5/8-inch cam locks), the keys are a different format (HON, Steelcase, Hirsh, Anderson Hickey, ESP, Chicago Lock, Fort), and the codes are stamped on the lock face in tiny numbers most people miss. Premier Locksmith Delray Beach carries the full set of cam-lock keys and replacement cylinders on the truck - we cut keys by code on-site, rekey lateral files for office turnovers, and replace failed cylinders without having to remove the file cabinet from the office.

Most common calls: lost-key replacement for HON / Steelcase / Anderson Hickey lateral files (the office turnover scenario - departed employee's filing cabinet, key is in the missing keychain, important records inside); rekey on a credenza or wardrobe cabinet when an office is repurposed; replacement of broken cylinders that no longer turn; and key-by-code service when the customer has the lock-face number but no physical key. Office furniture keys are typically a 4-digit code (1001-9999 range for HON, 100-499 for Anderson Hickey, etc.) and we can cut to code in 5 - 10 minutes if we have the number.

How we save offices time: we come to you, we cut on-site, and we handle the most-common 8 - 12 cam-lock brands without ordering parts. If your file cabinet's code starts with 'HON' followed by 4 digits, we cut it from the code in 10 minutes. Same for Steelcase ($. 100 - 499 series), Hirsh (1500 series), Anderson Hickey (1001 - 1999 series), ESP (HON-compatible). For rarer brands (older Knoll, Herman Miller pre-2000, some European imports) we may need to order the blank but most of those still get cut next-day.

How a typical file cabinet + office furniture locks job goes

Federal Highway accounting firm, year-end records lockout

12 file cabinets rekeyed in 90 minutes - employee turnover batch

Federal Highway accounting firm had their bookkeeper of 8 years retire at year-end. Bookkeeper held keys to 12 lateral file cabinets containing client records, payroll archive, and tax workpapers. Owner wanted all 12 rekeyed before the new bookkeeper started Monday.

Premier scheduled a Saturday morning batch - tech arrived 9 a.m. with 12 sets of cam-lock rekey kits + 24 new keys to cut on-site. All 12 cabinets rekeyed by 10:45 a.m. (no removal needed - rekey in-place on each cylinder). Old keys all retired. New keys distributed in 2 sets: 12 for the office owner, 12 for the new bookkeeper.

Total: $645 ($53.75/cabinet batch rate). New bookkeeper started Monday with the only working keys to the 12 cabinets. Owner has us on standing call for any future cabinet work.

Frequently Asked

File Cabinet + Office Furniture Locks - Delray homeowners' questions, answered

On the metal face of the lock cylinder itself - usually 3 or 4 digits, sometimes preceded by 'HON', 'AH', 'SC' or similar brand initials. Open the drawer with any working key first if possible; the code is visible on the front face of the cylinder when the lock is in the cabinet.
Yes, but it requires removing the cylinder from the cabinet (so we can read the pin stack and cut accordingly) OR drilling the cylinder if it is too damaged or generic. Removal-and-read is non-destructive and usually adds 15 - 30 minutes to the job.
Yes - those are the 4 most common Delray office furniture brands and we carry blanks for all of them. Cut-by-code time is 10 minutes per key for those brands.
We carry the most common older keyways (Globe, Anderson Hickey pre-1990, original HON 1500 series) but some 70s-vintage brands are obsolete. We can still cut keys from a known code OR remove + rekey to a modern cylinder. Honest answer: we recommend rekeying older cabinets rather than chasing obsolete keys.
Yes - common request when an office is being repurposed or a department is moving. We coordinate with the office manager for a batch rate (per-cabinet rate drops as batch grows) and provide a key-distribution sheet at the end.
Same-day in most cases - we can be on-site within 4 hours during business hours, sometimes faster if our schedule allows. Office furniture lockouts are usually less time-pressing than door lockouts so we squeeze them between higher-priority calls.
Same approach - most desk and credenza locks use the same cam-lock format as file cabinets. We carry the cylinders and keys. Some custom or imported furniture uses proprietary keyways we'd need to identify on-site, but 95% of Delray office desks / credenzas / wardrobes use one of the 8 - 12 standard cam-lock brands we stock.
