Why choose an office cabinet lock
An Office Cabinet Lock replaces a physical key with a PIN or MIFARE card verified on-chip, so a lost credential is a re-issue — not a re-key — and the office cabinet keeps working with no WiFi. A 5-minute mechanical retrofit fits metal filing cabinets and laminate pedestals, and a stainless steel chassis option matches visible office furniture where finish matters.
How an office cabinet lock works
A user enters a PIN or taps a MIFARE card; the lock verifies the credential on-chip in under 0.6 seconds and drives the latch. A manager card programs, revokes, and resets credentials without touching the cabinet. The lock runs on 4× AA alkaline cells with a standard mortise, so filing cabinets and pedestals accept it with no rewiring.
