Purely hypothetical

[spacebug]

So, *cough*

If, say, there were two full, locked file cabinets right behind your desk, and also let's pretend there are some important files that can't be found and no one knows where they went (or even just in the interest of knowing what's in there it'd be handy to open those) and oh yeah, let's also just pretend that the keys to both of those cabinets were never located in your desk from the time you started working at this pretend office...

What's the most elegant solution to this conundrum?

Boy, it's fun working in an office with a staff that's 80% new, sometimes.

Sledgehammer.

"Trust me. I know what I'm doing."

And I was going to say, explosives, but apparently the problem has already solved.

While sledgehammers are entertaining and efficient, I wouldn't call them elegant.

Actually, the solution ends up being "Pull harder, you dork- they're not locked, they're just stuck."

So I still have no idea what mystery locks these keys that I have labeled "reception files" actually fit, 'cause it's not these.

You can call the file maker's company and have them send you new keys...I think.

Paper clips and screwdrivers. (You'll never believe me, but this really is a journalistic skill...) ;)

Worse comes to worse: Locksmith. Though definately hone your lock picking tools first, S4 would love to have his girlfriend to be even more of a super spy.
