How secure is the locking storage in a desk hutch?

Most desk hutch locking doors use cam locks — a basic cam cylinder that's keyed. These locks provide deterrence against casual access but are not high-security — a determined person with a screwdriver can bypass most cam locks in a minute. For truly secure storage of sensitive documents or valuables, a fireproof safe or a high-security filing cabinet is the right tool. For normal office security purposes (keeping supply doors organized and lightly secured), cam locks are entirely appropriate. Some hutch locking systems are master-keyed so a facility manager can access all units. FindOfficeFurniture.com can confirm lock specs on any hutch — call 888-719-4960 for the best deals.
