The Resolute Desk is the desk in the President's Oval Office. It does not have a secret lock, but in the movie 'National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets,' there is a secret compartment in the desk as part of the plot.
Yes... Indeed.
This desk was given to President Hayes in 1880 by Queen Victoria. It was probably made that year or the year before, It was made from wood from the ship Resolute.
Yes. The code is 1876. There are numbers on the bottem of the draws. On both Resolute Desks.
If you mean the resolute desk featured also in the movie 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets' the answer is no. There's only one in the oval office used by the USA presidents. The second one in Buckigham does not exists. Not entirely true. Queen Victoria had a writing table (considered by some to be a desk, though by no means a twin of the desk in the Oval Office) constructed from the HMS Resolute's timbers, which was kept in Buckingham Palace. For the last several years, the desk has been on loan from the Royal Collection to the Royal Navy Museum in Portsmouth, UK.
