Does the file cabinet lock?

No. There is only a safety locking device that allows you to open one drawer at a time, but there is no way to lock the cabinet.

It does not have a lock. I put my silver in a safe deposit box at the bank when I am extended trips. I don't think a lock would stop someone who wanted to steal the silver since the cabinet is not very heavy and can easily be taken. I think it is more for convenience than security. It is not particularly well made. The first one I ordered arrived broken. I returned it and the second was in one piece but is not very sturdy. Still, it looks good in the dining room.

No lock! And there is no lock will fit this cabinet, because half glass half wood, no clock is fit for it!

Yes. The drawers latch. They are not hard to open, but there is enough resistance to prevent them from opening while moving the cabinet around on a reasonably level floor.

Yes, the box itself does lock as well do the two racks. In fact the box stays locked at all times. Therefore the key is always needed to open or close it.

There was no lock on mine. One disappointment I had with file drawer is that once I put files in it, a few days later it stopped closing completely. Feels like it's off track, but if I lift it up higher it will close. Very inconvenient if you use the drawer daily so mine now remains open about 2-3 inches. Other than that, I love the desk.

There is no definitive answer to this question as it is stated because there are too many variables. The file cabinet will not tip forward unless the closed drawer contains less weight than the open drawer and the open drawer is opened beyond a pivot point where gravitational forces on the open drawer exceed the combined weight of the closed drawer and the weight of the cabinet. I hope this convoluted response is comprehensible enough to answer your question.

The file drawer is ready and set up to hold hanging files on rails already installed on the sides of the drawer, but it cannot be locked. I love my desk with all its' compartments and wide top!

One thing I absoluetly love about this particular file cabinet, is the safety feature with the drawers! You can only open one drawer at a time. The other one locks automatically. Because of this, I have not experienced any tipping of the cabinet.

Yes. Both drawers lock with the lock being in the bottom drawer. They could be pried open pretty easily though if someone wanted to get in badly enough.

No, the drawers do not lock. I have seen desk drawer locks that you can add to a drawer, but since this is a hollow core frame, I don't know if that would even be an option.

Yes it holds hanging files. Both drawers do lock but with one lock, one key

This one does not lock but I think there is one available that does lock. It is very nice unit and will keep your dresser clear of jewelry.

If your file cabinet has a vertival bar inside the front right hand corner, it wwill lock all the drawers.

Yes, it does. My opinion is that the lock is a cheap type. Definitely will be looking to replace this. Otherwise, I like the cabinet.

That I can't answer. To tell the truth, I really don't like this file cabinet. It's much too light weight. I would call the company if I were you and see what they have to say.

There is no key lock. The drawers push closed and have a slight pressure added too keep them in. That is all.
