Just received the cabinet and the 2 drawers are locked! Any idea where the key would be??

Make sure all the drawers are completely shut and them try to open the drawers. Only answer I can think of....

The key, hardware, and instuctions are taped to the bottom of the cabinet. Just turn it over!

I cannot remember exactly where the key was but seems to me it was either in the parts bag or taped to the bottom of the unit.

As I recall, they were in the bag with the hardware. No certainty in my answer. Sorry.

Yes, all of them lock. The key hole is on the upper right corner and when you lock it, all drawers lock. It's a very nice piece file cabinet.

All drawers and sides lock except the very top lid. It's a pretty piece of furniture. Don't know why it was designed this way tho'...the ring keeper is under the top lid that doesn't lock....??

I did not get parts. I am using this corner cabinet without being able to open the bottom 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.

Can't risk leaving it unlocked so I have the key hidden well and near the cabinet. My keys seem to go into the lock just one way so I put a dab of bright pink nail polish (daughters are awesome) on the top side of the key should I need to get inside in a hurry.

If you lift off the top board/slab and there should be small clips on the drawers which lock them into place. You will need to hold them down before you can slide them out.

The one I received requires a key to unlock and unscrew the bottom. We lost the key, and made a new key by grinding the end of an old Ikea hex wrench.

There is only one file drawer on the bottom left side. The right side is all one door/compartment for computer/power strip/etc. I do not think that any of the doors or drawers come with a lock on them.

Should be common sense..close them first. I purposely do that, the top is always closed on mine, but I opened it, pulled the drawers out, closed the top, the pushed the drawers closed, thus I can access the drawers without having to open the top first.

If you can still open the box, take it to a lock & key place. They should be able to redo the lock and make you a new key! Best of luck!

No - the drawers do not lock. They may be referring to the locking mechanism on the rolling feet.

Nothing on the outside. Two pieces are mounted on the inside, one on the door frame one on the cabinet frame. You use the part that looks like a key to open door. Just slide it on the outside, you will hear a little click and it will open! Check out some of the YouTube videos, they help

Only the top drawer has a lock which may not suit everyone. I rarely lock the filing cabinet so one is fine.

Try unlocking the doorknob (or locking, whichever is the opposite of how it came) Hope this helps!

It doesn't have a lock but it's a nice cabinet although it's the wrong color. I returned it twice Still got a dark cherry instead of walnut

The drawers are on glides. They open very smoothly and I only use one hand. Sometimes when closing tightly I give it a little extra. I have never had them get stuck.
