I want to add a lock to a file drawer that does not currently have one. Will this work?

Id say unless the drawer already has an oval punchout that you can knock out with a screwdriver, no. Its meant for a pretty large opening and youd need a precisely placed hole thats pretty big .

It doesn't need an oval punchout, it tells you what size ROUND hole to drill. I added this to a wooden cabinet just fine. It also included a slightly longer lock slide than is in that picture.

Just see if you have a good spot, drill a hole, and you should be good to go. (assuming your Handy)

It seems as if that it is possible. I know the holder was smaller than my file cabinet. It is also easy enough to customize the size.

The drawers do not lock, but there is an "interlock" device that prevents both drawers from opening at the same time. Only one drawer can be open at any one time. This prevents any possibility of the unit becoming unbalanced and falling forward.

No, it does not lock at all. I don't think it's designed where you could add one, either.

Yes. And the lock and key locks the accessory drawer and the top most file drawer.

No, unfortunately I do not see any way to add a lock of any kind to this box.

Yes, you can put a small lock on the top of the toolbox. There are two tabs that have holes drilled in the middle of them for a lock.

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

Yes and yes. I turned one of mine around to switch compartment positions myself. If you do this, the drawer becomes more of a shelf because it won't slide out. I use mine for "working documents".

It has metal hanging dividers in each drawer that can be moved to hold up existing files while leaving storage or empty space as you choose. Hope that helps.

I purchased this item for a third party and don't recall weather it can be locked

No. The file shown under the cabinet area is a separate file cabinet that is not included. The onlu door are at the top of the cabinet without locks/latches. They are for small supplies. Expensive desk/cabinet, but very durable and stable. I love 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.

Yes, we use hanging file folders in our Sentry Safe Fire-Safe File. There is one lock but it locks both drawers

I looked mine over and found no way to lock it. I do not believe that it can be locked.

In my experience no, I ended up getting some industrial strength velcro from my place of employment and that has worked. I think the head of the screws would get in the way of the drawer function.

Is there a drawer if so remove the drawer and If it is like mine you can turn the locking part off by pushing the red button. There may be dust in the mechanism because of the age of it.
