How can you unlock a desk when you've misplaced the key?

Question

My boss has 3 year old twins and they misplaced his keys
in his house.

Answer 1

Most commercial furniture uses locks that have a number stamped on them... I'd check that first... If there is a number on the lock, then you can contact the manufacturer for a new key.

If there's no number, then your best bet is a locksmith, to get them open without damaging the furniture.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Sometimes you can slide something thin in the crack between the lock and the desk. Depending on the quality of the desk, sometimes you can stick something like one side of a pair of tweezers or another key that will fit in the hole and jiggle it around until it opens. If it's a cabinet door you can pop off part of the back and stick your hand in and release the lock with your hand, again depending on the quality of the desk.(the better the quality the harder to get into) GOOD LUCK!!
