Drawer lock

A drawer lock is used to lock a drawer in a cupboard, a chest of drawers, or a desk. A lockable drawer is suitable for storing sensitive documents, precious jewelry, very personal letters or diaries that no one should see, and other valuable, smaller objects. Normal drawers without a lock can be retrofitted with one.

The Typical Drawer Lock

The lockable drawers of antique pieces of furniture usually have a warded lock with a large key, often elaborately decorated on the handle. Modern drawer locks, on the other hand, are small cylinder locks with small, functional-looking keys that look roughly like the key of a typical bicycle lock.

If you want to retrofit a drawer with a drawer lock, you can choose from different types of locks, such as a square or a round lock. When buying a drawer lock, make sure that it comes with at least two keys so that you have a spare key.

There are now even digital drawer locks that can connect to a smartphone, allowing you to open the lock with a smartphone app, just like with a remote control. These locks usually do not have a key. In this case, the smartphone acts like a digital key.

Retrofitting a Drawer with a Drawer Lock

To install a drawer lock, you don’t need to do much. You simply drill a hole as large as the lock, then push the lock through the drawer from behind and fix it in place with screws. Generally, this can be done yourself with manual skill. In case of doubt, however, hiring a professional locksmith is usually a better choice to ensure that the installation is carried out properly.
