How does the lock work on a flat-file cabinet?

Most commercial flat-file cabinets include a single lock (typically a cam lock) mounted on the top or front of the cabinet that engages the anti-tip bar — locking all drawers simultaneously when the key is turned. This means one key controls all drawers. Some models offer individual drawer locks. Two keys are typically provided; additional keys can be ordered by key code.
