In offices, they usually have numbers stamped on the cylinder, indicating the key needed to open. There's usually only four or five numbers per manufacturer, and if you don't already have one, you can buy replacement sets

Yeah, I should go through at work and make a list of the keys we need for all the furniture. We've had a few cases of one desk no one has a key for getting locked, but that one will let me in with nothing more than a green xcelite, the matching key would probably be like four nearly matching cuts

Fediverse Question (especially for hackers, burglars, lockpickers, and miscreants):
What is that name of this lock?
I need to replace it. And I need to know what to type into the search bar to replace it.
(The lock mechanism uses wafers. But I'm not looking for a "wafer lock" - like... I can't put a cabinet wafer lock on this).
It's used for locked glass bulletin boards (physical boards). I dont want to buy a new board. I just need to replace the lock. We can pick it open (and pick it closed) but not everyone knows how to jiggle a jiggler.
(side question... I dont even need to replace the lock if it has a standard key)
(Edit. Maybe if I added the pictures that would help)
@tinker you might be able to use a replacement mailbox lock--they usually come with several tabs to choose from

@tinker looks like a RITTAL IT rack, maybe "Vorreiberverschluss" (in German)?

@m4iler - When you learn the proper names of things after learning through trial and error

@tinker I love these posts where someone slowly through their own research finds what they're looking for. Obviously, I relate.
@yuki2501 - Hahaha, sometimes all we need to do is talk it out

@tinker Haaaai
Also, at least you are doing it in your own language. I have to find the proper term and then TRANSLATE so I can buy shit I want

@corq - Lol, similar! It's like... I'm around these locks all the time and I pick them all the time, but I only ever refer to them as "the lock on <insert greater item name or location>" as opposed to the actual name type of the lock.
I have a lot of experiencing picking that doohickey or bypassing that whatchamacallit.

@m4iler - Yeah... that's gotta be annoying!

@tinker on the replacement route, best bet is to pull it from the housing entirely while unlocked, and grab a set of calipers, dial, digital, or vernier, and take measurements. That way you can find a (mostly) compatible replacement.
I still have a project of rekeying a couple safe-like-objects to take the same key, and that’s the plan I had. In my case it had more to do with the fact they have two different style locks, and I needed to find something with the same keyway that fit both form factors.
@ajn142 - Good advice!

@cR0w @ajn142 - No, I've moved a couple times since I did physical assessments regularly and my kit is very bare at the moment. I just did a physical a couple of months ago and I made a list of items I needed to rebuild it. Half of my lockpicks are gone (the ones I used regularly, I had backup ones that werent my ideal but got the job done) and all of my standard common keys are gone.
I might use this as an excuse to buy those right now....

@tinker It's a cam cylinder. The lock inside is a wafer lock. Usually just called a "cam lock" because stupid.
@Sempf - That's it. Cheers!

@tinker They are a fascinating lock type, too. Quite literally, the only lock that a snowman pick is good for - the one with the two balls stacked on top of each other at the end of the pick. They're a lot of fun to open, too, and they give students an easy, quick raking win that is unique and different from the normal pin tumbler routine.
