Missing keys for Gustav desk (300.701.24)

[ManyQuestions]

Hello,

I have an old desk. I managed to find it's name in the IKEA 2007 catalog by using its number 300.701.24. It's part of the Gustav series, but i can't find the manual and therefore I can't find the part number of the key to request a replacement. Would anybody know if Ikea has replacement keys for Gustav? The two drawers are locked since a few years now, and I'd like to use them again.

Thanks!

Hi,

I also have the Gustav desk and matching cabinet. I lost my keys in a recent move and have been going crazy trying to get it open. I've bought every key on Amazon that looks like it might fit but nothing works.  Please help!!

Hello, I called Ikea and they don't produce that key anymore. I managed to open the two drawers using 2 paperclips and a lot of patience, having never done this before. Took me about 15min for each drawer. Once open, i simply removed the locking mechanisms to be able to use the drawers again. Hope this help 🙂

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I'm not that patient, so at the end of the day, it may come down to a sledgehammer
