What is this?

Does the key come out? It looks like an alarm/call button with a key reset.

^^^^ this.

Definitely a panic button - I've seen exactly the same one at work. Don't panic, in case it's direct-dial to the Filth.

Ooh, I've got one for this thread.

This is on the wall in the bedroom in my new house, about 5cm square, the key turns but doesn't seem to do anything.

What is it please?

Have you seen Barbarian ?

Eureka!

It’s part of my desk

I’ll see if I can reattach it without having to take everything off the desk

Further update - It isn’t part of my desk. All of the the plastic grey bolts are in situ.

The mystery continues!

Any other similar furniture?

Might be a spare.

I’ve gone through the ikea instructions for everything I’ve had in the study - where I found it. Don’t think there’s anything similar.

It could be a spare but I didn’t build the desk in this house

We built an IKEA flat pack cabinet at the weekend (without getting divorced in the process) and there were lots of extra bits leftover at the end. Luckily Mrs SFM counted everything beforehand otherwise it would have messed with our heads wondering if we’d missed a crucial structural part.
