  • Found this locked file cabinet in my basement, I don't know where the key is hiding or what maybe in the drawers. Given that I plan to use it for tool storage, I have no need to secure it in the future, so, I decided to drill the lock. In this video, we will drill out the key cylinder and gain entry into the file cabinet.

    It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

    Just what I was looking for! Went and bought a brand new cylinder, bought the Herman Miller Keys according to the numbers on the 2 locks. No go. So bought a lock pick, no go. So bought a more expensive lock pick, no go. Then found out you can buy the Master Keys for Herman Miller locks so bought them. No go once again! Time to get the damned drill out! 🤬 Thanks for the tip!

      So just found that a Master key is not the same as a pull key so bought some pull keys before getting the ol' drill out. We'll see

    Thanks a million! I locked my grandfather out of his file box and he couldn’t find the key. Followed this video and it popped open within 2 minutes.

    if u spray the lock with a little wd40 or oil the drill goes a little smoother and doesn't get caught as much.

    Worked like a charm. I started with a masonry bit to play it safe. Then moved up to whatever I used and it popped out as I was pulling the bit out lol😊

    Thanks for the ideas. My bro passed away last year and left a junky file cabinet with...stuff in it. Since I was going to scrap the cabinet anyway, no finesse was needed and the drilling worked great.

    I used nothing but a 1/8 bit on the same type of cabinet lock and it popped open in less than 3 minutes. I'm no locksmith but it worked way easier than expected. Now I can use a flat head screwdriver to lock and unlock it.

    Why didn't you pick it or get a key by code? Why destroy it? You drilled too low, 3/32" bit just above keyway, straight shot through the pins.

    I'm confidant you'll never grow up to be a good B&E guy so I will sleep better tonight. At the shop, 4 wheel drive tires are flying off the shelves at a rate of 3+ sets of 4 per week. Mostly 12inch rim sizes but 14's are more popular then I was aware of. Then you get the pain in the ass mixed sets with 12's and 11's , even worse are the mixed 12's and 10's. I've got a 98 Polaris 4wd with a 300 2stroke motor and it has 23inch tires in the front and 24's in the rear, and the chances of finding a good used set on the market are slim to none.Plenty to learn and I should be plenty busy until work at the ranch picks up, then I'll be really busy. Harvey, do you need seat covers for any more mini trails then that project? Let me know before I start negotiating. Over and out.

    Tip: when drilling metal lower the speed of your drill

      Need high speed for smaller bits, Most file cab locks are made of zinc.

    Most locks you can just take a hammer and a flat nosed chisel - and a few sharp strikes will knock the cylinder out of the casing and it will fall into the drawer.
