Shop/Keys & Locks

Lost your Vidmar key? Start with the key code

  • Every Vidmar lock cylinder has a key code, stamped on the original key and on the face of the cylinder. If you can read that code, you do not need the old key, a locksmith, or a new lock. A replacement key is cut to the code and mailed out, and the cylinder never leaves the cabinet.
  • Fastest path: email a photo of the cylinder face (or just the code) to hello@echoindustrialsource.com with how many keys you need, or call 512.363.2178. We confirm the code and quote cut keys, usually within one business day.
  • Code unreadable or the cylinder damaged? A local locksmith can open the cabinet without damaging it. Once it is open, swap in a replacement cylinder from this page and the cabinet is back in service with fresh keys you control.

How Vidmar keying works

  • Random Group (RG), every cabinet has its own unique key from a large keyspace. Best for individually-owned cabinets across many users.
  • Keyed Alike (KA), a bank of cabinets shares one key. Best for a single operator who owns the whole row.
  • Master Keyed (MA), each cabinet has its own key, plus one master opens them all. Best for tool cribs and supervised areas.

Cylinders, keys, and master keys: what's what

Every Vidmar drawer cabinet ships with a removable lock cylinder in one of three keying configurations, Random Group, Keyed Alike, or Master Keyed (the same Keying option you pick on our cabinet pages). This page carries the replacement parts for all of them.

Have a shelf-door or sliding-door cabinet (like the SD340 line)? Those use their own cylinder hardware, matched to the door hand. Tell us the model and we'll pull the right part.

Need something less common, a keypad lock, the non-removable key feature, Best-lock compatible hardware, or a brand-new master system across hundreds of cabinets? Vidmar builds all of it. Send us the spec and we'll quote it with the right part numbers.

Replacing the whole cabinet instead of the lock? Start with what size Vidmar cabinet you need and how to choose drawer heights.

Rekeying a fleet

Cabinets accumulate, and technicians leave with keys. If your floor has grown into a mix of random keys, we can bring it back under control: convert a bank of cabinets to Keyed Alike by swapping cylinders, or set up a proper Master Keyed system so every cabinet keeps its own key while the crib attendant carries one. New cabinets can be factory-keyed to match your existing scheme before they ship, just tell us at order time. Send us a count of cabinets and how you want access to work and we will quote the cylinders, keys, and a swap plan.

Common questions

How do I get a replacement key for a Vidmar cabinet?

The fastest fix is a replacement cylinder: every new cylinder ships with its keys, and it can be keyed to match your existing Keyed Alike or Master Keyed system. Email a photo of your lock or key code to hello@echoindustrialsource.com and we will spec the right cylinder, usually within one business day.

Where is the key code on a Vidmar lock?

It is stamped on the original key and on the face of the lock cylinder. If the stamp is worn, a clear close-up photo is usually enough for us to identify it.

My Vidmar cabinet is locked and the key is gone. What now?

A local locksmith can open the cabinet without damaging it. Then swap in a replacement cylinder, which ships with its own keys, so you control the keys again. Send us the code on the cylinder face if it is readable and we will match your existing keying.

Can all my Vidmar cabinets share one key?

Yes. That is a Keyed Alike system. Existing cabinets convert by swapping in keyed-alike cylinders, and new cabinets can be factory-keyed to match before they ship.

What is a Vidmar master key?

In a Master Keyed system every cabinet keeps its own individual key, and one master key opens all of them. It is the standard setup for tool cribs.

Do you handle keys for Lista cabinets too?

Lista uses a different lock system. Our sister brand Delta Industrial Storage is an authorized Lista dealer and handles Lista keys and lock cores at deltaindustrialstorage.com/keys-locks.

Expanding a master-keyed system?

If you're adding cabinets to an existing master-keyed group, include your master code with the request and the cylinders ship factory-pinned to your system.
