Defender Security U 9945KA Diecast Cabinet and Drawer Lock

The Defender Security U 9945KA is a durable diecast keyed-alike lock designed to secure drawers and cabinets.

Description

This hardware component is a diecast metal drawer and cabinet lock engineered for securing storage furniture. It features a 1-1/8 inch length, making it suitable for panels with a maximum thickness of 13/16 inches. The kit includes three cams, a trim collar, two washers, two keys, and necessary fasteners to facilitate installation. Because this is a keyed-alike model, it is designed to work with other locks in the same series, ensuring consistent key functionality across multiple units.
