Cabinet Lock Types We Install
Cam Locks
The most common cabinet lock — a cylindrical lock with a flat cam on the back that rotates to engage the cabinet frame. Used on file cabinets, desks, retail display cases, and HOA storage. Brands: Compx National, Olympus, ESP, Master Lock. Sizes from 5/8" to 7/8" cylinder length depending on door thickness.
Plunger Locks
Push-to-lock cylinder used on sliding glass display cases (jewelry stores, dispensary product cases, bakery cases). The lock plunges into the door track to secure the slider.
Combination Cabinet Locks
Mechanical or electronic combination locks for offices and medical practices that need keyless access. Common applications: controlled substance cabinets in medical and dental offices (Schedule II-V drugs require locked storage per DEA), narcotics cabinets in vet clinics, payroll cabinets in HR departments.
Biometric Cabinet Locks
Fingerprint or facial-recognition cabinet locks for dispensaries, medical offices, and high-security retail. Common in Colorado dispensaries where state regulations require auditable access logs to product inventory.
Specialty Use Cases
Firearm storage cabinets — Federal and Colorado law require firearms be stored in a locked cabinet/safe inaccessible to children. We install Type 1 (cabinet-grade) and Type 2 (RSC-rated) locking hardware. Gun safes here.
Medical drug storage — DEA Schedule II-V controlled substances require locked storage. We install combination locks with auditable logs (electronic combo with override key) for dental and primary care offices.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cabinet Lock Installation in Highlands Ranch
Can you rekey my office file cabinets to one key?
Yes. We rekey existing cam locks (or replace with new) so a single master key opens all your file cabinets. Common configuration: master key for the office manager, change keys for individual employees. Bulk rekey pricing applies for 5+ cabinets.
What lock do I need for controlled-substance storage in a medical office?
DEA requires locked storage for Schedule II-V controlled substances. The lock must prevent unauthorized access — typically a mechanical or electronic combination lock with an override key, mounted on a heavy-duty cabinet. We supply DEA-compliant hardware and provide written documentation.
Can you install a biometric lock on my dispensary product cabinet?
Yes. Colorado MED regulations require auditable access logs to dispensary product inventory. Biometric locks (fingerprint or facial recognition) with timestamp logs satisfy this requirement. We install Schlage, Yale, and dispensary-specialized biometric cabinet locks.
Do you work on retail jewelry display cases?
Yes. We install plunger locks on sliding glass display cases and cam locks on hinged glass display cases for jewelry stores, eyewear retailers, and dispensary product displays. Same-day install for stocked items.
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 firearm storage?
Type 1 is a basic locking gun cabinet (residential-grade). Type 2 is an RSC (Residential Security Container) — a true safe with UL listing. Colorado law and federal law require a locked storage option but do not specify type. We help you choose based on your specific use case (single firearm vs. collection).
What Our Customers Say
5.0 stars on Google with 38+ verified reviews. A representative selection of recent feedback from across our service area.
★★★★★We installed Yale Assure smart locks on three doors in our DTC office building. The team coordinated with our IT for the Wi-Fi mesh and access control integration, and trained our front desk staff on the management app. Whole project completed in one afternoon.
★★★★★I run a small office downtown and our Adams Rite storefront deadbolt was failing — wouldn't throw fully. They diagnosed it as a worn cylinder rather than total replacement and rebuilt it for $185 instead of the $580 quote I had from another company. Honest and competent.
★★★★★Snapped my key off in the front door at 6am leaving for work. They walked me through staying calm on the phone, got out within 30 minutes, extracted the broken half cleanly, and cut a fresh key on site. No damage to the cylinder. Saved me from a $300 lock replacement.
