Rather than purchasing locking map cabinets, we purchased file cabinet locking bars and our facilities unit installed them. We then purchased pad locks that are keyed the same so it only takes one key to open all of them. http://www.filelockingbar.com/ Gwen Curtis Map Collection 410C Science and Engineering Library University of Kentucky Libraries Lexington, KY 40506-0039 (859) 257-1853 [log in to unmask] From: Maps-L: Map Librarians, etc. <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Quill, Theresa Marguerite Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2018 5:01 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Locking map cabinets Hi all, We are in the rare (and exciting!) position of being able to purchase new locking map cabinets to house our "rare" maps. I'm wondering if anyone can speak to how well their locking cabinets have held up, and which brand you have. I've been looking at the Mayline ones<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gaylord.com%2FPreservation%2FDocument-Preservation%2FFlat-Files%2FMayline-Safco%2526%2523174%253B-Horizontal-5-Drawer-Flat-File-for-36-x-48%2522-Sheets%2Fp%2FHYB00510&data=02%7C01%7CGwen.Curtis%40UKY.EDU%7C2d7ffa7284fc4ba7f4b608d5949f9269%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C636578335454426876&sdata=YQfj0NJCCgPrhq0UV%2FENKRmIFirCgHVCb2tpRI6aC9M%3D&reserved=0>, but does anyone have other suggestions? We haven't purchased map cabinets in probably 50 years, and the listserv archives don't seem to have much on this topic after 2000, so maybe no one else has either! Any advice is very welcome!
