What is a key number on a vertical file cabinet?

A key number (also called a key code) is a numeric or alphanumeric identifier stamped on the lock face of the cabinet. It uniquely identifies the lock cylinder configuration and is used to order replacement keys from the manufacturer without needing to disassemble the cabinet. Record key numbers for all locking cabinets when new furniture is received. OfficeFurniture2go.com's cabinets include documented key codes — call 1-800-460-0858.
