A few years ago we purchased Safeco map cabinets; the lock is an option on
those. It's worth asking Mayline or the other vendors if their products are
lockable also, since it does seem to be hard to find on company websites. We
also just purchased 2 of the locking mechanisms to make some of our older
cases lockable. They are working well so far.

Hello,



We have a collection of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps that I want to keep
secure.  So far, all I have been able to come up with is this art supply
store that sells a locking device for Mayline Flat File Cabinets
http://www.utrechtart.com/dsp_view_product.cfm?item=39649.  I have
already been to the WAML Map Librarians Toolbox and checked the big
manufacturers with no luck.   Are there any flat file manufacturers that
make a cabinet that locks, or is this the only option.



Thank you,



-Greg
