If you've lost the key to your drawer lock and can't open it, what should you do? Actually, opening a drawer lock is quite simple; you just need a professional lock pick.
The method and principle for opening a pin tumbler drawer lock are roughly the same as for a regular concealed lock. After inserting the key, turn right to open and left to lock. Note that after opening the drawer lock with the right tool and method, when the push rod is rotated 180 degrees clockwise, the pins on the outer seat of the lock cylinder will spring into the groove below the keyhole in the lock cylinder due to the spring force. At this point, you must insert a single hook into the keyhole to lift the upper pin while continuing to rotate the lock cylinder clockwise with the push rod. When a total of 360 degrees has been rotated, the lock is unlocked. The upper pin has rotated into the lock cylinder groove, jamming the lock cylinder and preventing it from rotating. Use the single hook to lift the upper pin while simultaneously rotating the lock cylinder with the push rod.
How to Open a Drawer Lock
