File Cabinet Locking Bars
These File Locking Bars are the most popular filing cabinet locks on
the market for a reason. It doesn't matter if
you are a big company, a small company, or just
need to secure your files at home from prying
eyes; you all asked us for the same things.
You wanted a file cabinet lock that would
be easy to install, built tough, and backed by
a company you can rely on.
You'll need a padlock to secure the File Locking Bars, but it's not included unless you specifically choose it. If you're purchasing the 2-drawer or 4-drawer File Locking Bars, you have the option to add a padlock for an additional $4.95. Simply select this option after choosing the size you want.
Please note that the 3-drawer and 5-drawer File Locking bars are only available on Amazon without a padlock. When purchasing a padlock, make sure your lock has at least a 1/4" diameter shackle. |
The 4 things you Need to Know Before Buying
a File Locking Bar for your Filing Cabinet

1. Is it Easy to Install?
There is quite a difference in the way different file cabinet locks
are installed, and you don't want it to cost
you more in your valuable time than the lock
cost you in the first place. I'm going to SHOW
you just how easy it is to install our file cabinet
lock, but first, here are just a couple of comments
from our thousands of happy clients to tell you
just how easy it is:
"A cost-effective, easy way to make our files more secure and still easy for my staff to get into. Rapid delivery and easy installation. "
"It arrived promptly and was easy to install. It's a good heavy weight
and feels very secure. Originally, I was looking
for the type that slides down the handles but
that type was almost double the price and then
you'd be installing and removing it each day.
This is easy to open and close and you never
have to store it during work hours - it stays
attached. We would definitely buy this product
in the future. We also bought the padlock by
the same manufacturer that was recommended. It
has a heavy and secure feel to it also."
But if you don't believe them, let me show you
myself! This video shows you how the locking bar works, how to decide
which side of the filing cabinet to put it on, then how to install
it. It takes less than 5 minutes to install the locking bar, but if
you only want to see how the file locking bar works for now, you can
just watch the first couple minutes of the video.

2. Does it FIT your Filing Cabinets?
There is nothing more frustrating than buying something and not knowing
for certain if it will fit, even if returning
the product IS easy. Let's take care
of that right now! Our file bar works on all
file cabinets with recessed drawers (both lateral
and vertical file cabinets):
The file locking bar attaches to the small strip
of the cabinet that is NEXT TO the drawer, shown
in this picture. It can attach to either the left
or right side of the cabinet. You must have 1/2" of frame to attach
the bar to.

 Oh, and don't worry about it getting in the way of the file cabinet
next to it. When it is unlocked, it swings open
to fit neatly in the space between so that the
drawers on both filing cabinets can open without
obstruction.
3. Is it Well Built?
To make sure that the file locking bar can't be pried off, we use
only heavy duty 16 gage formed steel. By making
the security device much stronger than the cabinet
it is attached to, you would literally have
to rip the side of your file cabinet off before
you would bend the locking bar!
It even complies with the NISPOM government standards for the protection
of classified information!
4. Is it Easy to Use?
With some locking bars, you have to find a
place to store them during the day. Not these!
With ours, it stays attached and just easily
swings out of the way.

Using the file bar is simple. While the
file locking bar is open, one of the center
hinges is spring-loaded so it is held open
and won't accidentally close and interfere
with your drawer opening.
