Best Buy Offer On Drawer Lock Available on McCoy Mart

Locks are important for not only doors but also drawers slides of cabinets and wardrobes. There are a lot of valuable things which you store in drawers such as money, important documents, pieces of jewelry, etc. Thus, it is important that no one gets access to these cabinets easily. A table drawer lock serves this purpose well. There are some common types of desk bolts available in the market which are widely preferred by carpenters and manufacturers of cabinets and wardrobes.

Types Of Locks

• Deadbolt Lock

This lock has a cylinder that operates a bolt. The bolt moves and seals the drawer when the key is entered inside the keyhole and turned. These are widely used for external doors but are also highly suitable in the case of bureaus. The key can be removed in bolted as well as unbolted situations of the cabinet.

• Combination Lock

A combination or number lock has a single dial or multiple dials containing numbers. The discs attached to the rotating dial, seals and unseal the drawer after a certain number combination is achieved. In a single dial combination bolt, one number interacts with all the discs through a spindle to unbolt the desk. The spindle turns the discs when the correct number is inserted to the dial. In the case of a multiple dial combination bolt, there are multiple dials that need to be set to the correct number combinations so that the discs get aligned correctly to seal and unseal the cabinet. The digital version of these latches is also available in the market. In that case, there is a keypad in which you need to enter the correct number, letter, or symbol sequence to bolt and unbolt the drawer. Therefore these types of latches are commonly used for safes, cases, and other highly secure storage places.

• Multi-Lock

These are used to lock a chest of desks by a single bolting mechanism. Such bolts are commonly used in filing cabinets. The cast cam which projects from the base of the bolt operates the sealing mechanism. A front bolt is available in many models with capacity ranging from 3-5 or more desks at a time. A removable barrel system is present in some models of multi-lock. This means that the barrel can be removed and replaced if the keys are lost without causing any kind of damage to the bolt.

• Cam Lock

They have a cylindrical base and a cam made of metal which is present perpendicularly to the base. When the key is inserted into the keyhole and rotated, the metal cam moves in or out of a slot to seal or unseal the bureau. They are used for cabinets and smaller types of storage compartments which come in a plethora of styles. They are very easy to install but are usually not used for securing cabinets containing highly expensive items because they are not very sturdy.

• Biometric Lock

Highly secure access control is enabled by a modern biometric lock. This is a keyless bolt that uses fingerprints to unlatch the drawer. They either use electrical power from a nearby source or can have in-built batteries to power it. A fingerprint latch can save hundreds of fingerprints in its memory depending upon the model. The fingerprint reader scans your fingerprint and unseals the drawer only if the fingerprint matches any of the fingerprints stored in its memory. They are suitable for drawers used to store sensitive materials and can only be accessed by authorized people. The prices in such cases depend upon the type of mechanism of the bolt, the size, strength, brand, and other additional features that provide extra security. In the case of deadbolt drawer bolt, the height of the cylinder, deadbolt size, and amount of deadbolts are used to determine its price. 

The type of finish, such as stainless steel finish, also plays an important role in deciding the price. In the case of a combination latch, the price depends upon the number of dials, a number of code combinations, and the presence of a master key to override the code in case of emergency and other security features. The material of the dials such as chrome, zinc alloy, etc. which resists rusting and general wear and tear also contribute to the final price of the bolt. The ones with the digital combination having keypads to enter the codes are priced more as compared to conventional combination ones. Magnetic drawer lock price depends upon the number of cabinets it can seal, the size of the latching pins, material, finish, and other features. Biometric drawer bolts cost much more than other kinds of bolts because of the modern technology used in them. The price depends upon various factors such as the type of power source such as a battery or electrical outlet, the capacity of its memory to store fingerprint records, time to scan, and other features. 

The tamper-proof nature of these bolts which provides extra security is also a major reason for their high price. The installation of biometric ones requires the services of a trained professional because it is delicate work and needs to be done professionally. The brand also determines the price of the wooden drawer lock. Reputed brands such as  Godrej, Ozone & Kich, etc. cost more as compared to lesser-known brands but their quality is much more superior as compared to others.

The price factors need to be kept in mind when you want to buy these bolts.
