I have an older two drawer locking fire resistant metal file cabinet. The center core of lock mechanics pulled out when I was pulling key out. Two springs went flying along with cylinders that program key. Also was what appeared to be back retainer portion of cylinder that retained it in housing broke. Outer housing "JO89". Where can I get replacement that will fit in existing file cabinet locking hole? Don

Hello and thank you for your question.
Could we see a photo of the parts that came out as well as of the hole in the cabinet where they usually belong?
Photos can be uploaded to any internet photo sharing site such as Pasteboard, imgBB, photobucket, imgur.com (upload as Hidden/Private), and then the link Copy/Pasted here.
This will help our members give you the best possible answer.
Thank you Squelchtone

It is a Yale lock, the more common code would be JC89. Pop the lock out and take a few photos so we can see the locking dog and the rear of the lock.
