Is a single-point lock better than individual cam locks on each pedestal drawer?

Single-point locking is superior to individual cam locks in most commercial applications for three reasons: (1) Convenience — one key turn locks all drawers simultaneously; (2) Speed — faster lock/unlock at the start and end of each day in hot-desking programs; (3) Reliability — one lock to maintain and rekey rather than multiple. Individual cam locks on each drawer are simpler mechanically and fail less often as a system (a single cam lock failure doesn't disable the entire pedestal), making them an acceptable choice in lower-security, lower-traffic environments. For a corporate fleet where employees lock and unlock daily, single-point bar locks are the standard recommendation. OfficeFurniture2go.com offers both configurations — call 1-800-460-0858.
