Desk, file, or safe keys are not maintained by the Facilities Department’s locksmith, as these keys do not operate doors or building security barriers. The Locksmith does not maintain a record file of these keys. It is recommended that each department maintain a file of these keys including a spare key so that copy keys can be made in the event of a loss.
The Facilities Office; however does maintain a small inventory of file cabinet keys. Please contact the Facilities Office at extension 2629, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and provide us with the key number (this information is located on the face of the lock).
If the Facilities Office has the key we will provide this item to your department at no charge. If we don’t have a key, you will have to take the key number and the brand of your filing cabinet to a certified locksmith who should be able to make you a key (this is a chargeable expensive).
Please refer to the District’s Cal-Card Program on Prohibited Purchases and Practices.
