About this item
The ABUS 07010 is a 1-drawer file cabinet locking bar made from 16-gauge steel, designed to restrict access to filing cabinets in offices, government facilities, and commercial environments where sensitive documents need to be secured. The bar installs on the front of the cabinet drawer with the included mounting screws, closes over the drawer pull with a spring-loaded hinge mechanism, and is locked in place with a padlock. It meets the Department of Defense Industrial Security Requirements. A padlock is required and is sold separately. SKU: 07010.
How the ABUS 07010 file cabinet locking bar secures a 1-drawer filing cabinet
The locking bar works by spanning across the front face of the drawer and engaging over the drawer handle or pull hardware when closed. The built-in spring-loaded hinge holds the bar in the open position during normal drawer access, then snaps closed when the drawer is shut. Once closed, a padlock is inserted through the hasp eye at the end of the bar to lock the drawer in place. No key is required to open the bar once the padlock is removed. The operation is smooth and the spring hinge makes daily use practical for high-frequency access environments.
The bar is reversible for both left and right side mounting, so it fits standard filing cabinet configurations regardless of the side the pull hardware is positioned on. Mounting screws are included. No drilling or modification to the cabinet structure is required beyond the mounting screw holes. For compatible padlocks sized appropriately for the shackle opening on this locking bar, browse the padlocks section. For ABUS padlocks specifically matched to ABUS security hardware, the ABUS padlocks catalog covers the full range.
What 16-gauge steel construction and DOD compliance mean for this locking bar
The 07010 is constructed from 16-gauge steel, which is the standard material specification for commercial-grade file security bars. 16-gauge steel provides meaningful resistance to casual forced access attempts without the weight penalty of heavier-gauge materials, making the bar practical for day-to-day use on standard office filing cabinets. The spring-loaded hinge and conveniently located knob allow smooth operation without requiring the user to hold the bar manually during drawer access.
The bar meets the Department of Defense Industrial Security Requirements, making it an appropriate specification for government facilities, cleared contractor offices, defense industry workspaces, and commercial environments where document security must comply with federal security standards. Facilities requiring DOD-compliant physical security for sensitive compartmented information (SCI) storage typically specify locking bars alongside padlocks rated for the corresponding security level. For padlock parts, shackle accessories, and security hardware components, the padlock parts and accessories catalog is available.
How the ABUS file cabinet bar range covers 1 to 5 drawer cabinets
The ABUS file cabinet locking bar line is available in five distinct lengths corresponding to 1-drawer through 5-drawer filing cabinet configurations. The 07010 is the 1-drawer version, sized to span a single drawer front. Each length is a separate product sized for the specific cabinet height. Confirm the number of drawers on the filing cabinet being secured before selecting the correct bar length. A locking bar sized for a 3-drawer cabinet installed on a 1-drawer cabinet will not seat correctly against the drawer face. For additional security accessories and commercial hardware for office and facility applications, the builders hardware section and miscellaneous locks catalog cover available options.
Confirm the correct drawer count before ordering. A padlock is required and is not included. Mounting screws are included.
