How do mobile pedestal locks deter theft?

The keyed lock on a commercial mobile pedestal activates a linking bar that simultaneously locks all drawers — a single key locks and unlocks every drawer. This cam lock mechanism is secure enough for deterring opportunistic theft of personal items and office supplies but is not a high-security vault — a determined person with tools can defeat it. For truly sensitive materials (cash, controlled medications, critical personal documents), a separate lockbox inside the pedestal or a dedicated security safe is more appropriate. Pedestal locks are best understood as a privacy and deterrent measure, not a high-security solution. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
