I'm looking for a key to the drop down desk.
You should also post in the radar section here.
It has a listing for 'wanted' items.
(i can't figure out how to post on it yet)
I may have to beg for a key to borrow, cast it, and send
back. Easy for me to do and i could make multiples.

This seller has parts for sale.
And interesting to see the various configurations.

Found a key that works, top right.
Made one with a shorter stem and simple ring shape
taken from another key...

Bravo, Rockland
Did you take the cabinet to a locksmith, then?

.
No. I have lots of keys and none worked. Borrowed a friends ring of keys
and nothing worked. Maybe it was impatience, but i re-visited the first set
of keys and the most simple of them all...bingo.

What really blew my gasket is finding this photo after i went through the
key search. But i did cast this style ring without seeing this.
Just posting this for anyone else needing the same.

System Cado was all wood
Yes, Cado systems were made in all wood. Called "System Cado" it has wooden brackets and was more expensive than the Royal Cado systems at the time we bought ours in the late 1960's. We have the original brochure and a 4-bay system we are selling. We're in N. California. Anyone interested?

Can anyone confirm that the "System Cado" and the "Royal Cado" systems were sold alongside each other with the former being the more expensive "premium" model? I have been under the impression that the System Cado was an update to the original design, not an upgrade. If that's true, then I think it is a bit funny that I far prefer the Royal design to the all-wood System Cado.

Freestanding Wall Unit
I am so glad I found this site!! I have been unable to identify the wall unit that I have. It is a freestanding unit with all of the basic characteristics of the wall mounted type. The back track is "cut out" and finished to fit in front of a baseboard. The top shelf hangs with the metal type bracket on brass dowels coming out of the inside of the tracks.
The entire unit is about 6 1/2 feet tall. The cabinet with the glass doors also has a glass shelf that fits inside(I removed to gain height inside). The bottom cabinet has 4 drawers. Both cabinets hang over brass dowels on the tracks. There is no mark on any of the pieces that I can locate. I have not been able to find any other units that have the diamond style frosted glass sliding doors like mine, nor have I found one that has the "baseboard cutout."
I have posted some pics -sory about how fuzzy they are!
Any help identifying something about this piece would be appreciated. I would really like to find additional modules and or/units.

cado in oak??
just curious...came across a wall unit on cragislist that is a dead ringer for the Cado style but is stated as being made in oak...had never heard of one in oak...but for 5 cabinets, one bookcase and one shelf costing $150 it warrants some attention...just wanted to know if anyone might know if they were made in oak or if some of the competitors made them in this material and who they are....we are currently outfitted with walnut and teak so i dont think it'd go well...but i might have to consider it..............

Need Cado System wall mounts
I have an original 1969-vintage CADO Royal System in teak with three spring poles. I want to install it in a new situation where mounting directly to the wall is preferred, so I need three wall mounting strips about six feet long, preferably in teak. Would consider other woods as well. Glad to purchase or would consider trade for spring poles. Would also consider purchasing two teak full-width wall-mounted back panels if their price is not out of sight.
(please use the Radar (not the forum) if you want to purchase or trade items)

Sell, not buy
Sorry about that. I read several previous postings that were offering similar items for sale or looking to buy or barter, so my posting seemed entirely within bounds to me!

cado unit
related question
while cruising for stuff today came across a CADO wall unit, not shelves, a free standing guy (will post pictures later). It was a bit beat, some dings, some separation of veneer. Should I bother? I loved it but found the idea of renovating it challenging/intimidating/tiring.

depends
how much is it...if you get it for a good price you could easily double down and sell it to someone who will appreciate it and know what it is??? save beautiful furniture from eventually finding its way to the landfills! :/ thats how i have been justifying my excessive spending and refinishing of furniture HAH!
