Installing a cabinet lock (from new)

How to install a cabinet lock

A lock on your cabinet is essential if you are storing sensitive or valuable information.

You will first want to remove the top drawer of the cabinet and place it to one side.

Locate the knockout in the cabinet, which typically is located in the top right hand side of the device.

This is a cut-out in preparation for the lock fixing, using a hammer tap out the panel (relevant on new cabinets) ready for the lock installation.

You will then need to slide the lock into the cabinet attaching the lock nut/ horseshoe clip onto the reverse, to secure the lock. And then finally attach the cam with the screw supplied.
