I have a Meilink Hercules Fire insulated File Cabinet that has a push in Yale lock. The key has long been lost. Is there a way to have a key made or is this something a lock smith would have to get into. If it will require a locksmith how much should I expect to pay? Any information would be appreciated, thanks!
You could probably pick that with a safety pin bent with pliers into a snake rake pick shape, and a windshield wiper insert cut and bend to use as a turning tool.
Let me move this to the Ask a Locksmith - This Old Lock area for you.
Here was the first lock pick I ever made, worked great.
and how to make turning tools using a windshield wiper insert from some thrown out wiper blades you can find in the bin outside most auto parts stores.
