    Furniture cabinet locked, no key

    I need to get into these drawers in my home office but have lost the key. Have no interest in being able to lock the cabinets once I get them open.

    Outside of paying for a locksmith, is there any way to get into these locked drawers?

    Maybe drill it out if you just want to be done with the lock.

        If you find the lock is a compx/national that’s in their catalog, it should be easy to get a master key.

          Just try all the keys you have, they are not real complicated tumblers on those

            I bet the lockpickinglawyer has a video over something similar on YouTube

              get a small screwdriver, so you can turn the lock.
              Get a big paper clip. bend one section straight.
              Put a slight upward bend at the end of the paper clip.
              It will help as you slide through the tumblers.
              Jiggle the paperclip a little as you push it into the lock.
              Once you reach the back of the lock with the paperclip,
              stick the screwdriver in (not far) and see if lock will turn.
              You may have to do it once or twice, but you won't tear up the cabinet.

                    Use a paperclip. These are easy.

                        Is there a key number on the front of the lock?
                        They are easy to get if there is.

                          I have a buddy who is a project manager for a commercial furniture company. If you can provide a picture he could probably identify the manufacturer and needed key. He might even have one on hand.
