In the past we used a Multi-Lock swing-open security bar made for
vertical files cabinets. Try doing a Google search on Medeco security
bar to get a list of vendors. --Gwen Curtis

We're considering retrofitting a few of our map cabinets with a locking
device.
There are several homemade solutions that I've gotten information on
before.
Also, Mayline/Hamilton has a locking device:
item 90J006, Locking Device for steel plan files It's a hinged doo-wicky
that seems to bolt on the right hand edge of a case and fold over to
block the drawers when locked. See page 49 in this catalog:
http://www.mayline.com/pricebookpdf/filing.pdf
Has anyone retrofitted this to their flat map files? What is their
opinion on the ease of installation and on how well it works? Do you
need a separate lock for each 5-drawer unit, or does it allow a rod to
slide through multiple units? Is it worth the cost compared to the
homemade solutions? (I'm assuming about $50 for the part, considering
the usual discounts from list price.) It must require a bit of drilling.
Thanks,
Mark
