What is a two-point lock on a storage cabinet?

A two-point lock engages the cabinet door at two points simultaneously when locked - typically the top and bottom of the door - rather than just the center. This prevents the door from being flexed open at an unsecured point even when locked. Two-point locks are common on premium security-focused storage cabinets and provide better pry resistance than single-point center locks. For standard office supply storage, a single-point lock is adequate. For cabinets securing valuable items, sensitive records, or controlled materials, the added security of a two-point or multi-point locking mechanism is worthwhile.
