I recently bought a lateral filing cabinet used. It does not have a keyed lock on it and before I moved it, the drawers opened. In transit something must have moved inside and now all the drawers are locked. My thought is that this is part of the design so that when you move the drawers aren't opening and making it hard to maneuver. I have looked around for a button or slide to "unlock" it, but haven't seen anything. I have tried what one of the people in this blog said about using a screwdriver to move something on the bottom of the cabinet, but can't seem to make that work. I have tried tiliting it in all directions just to see if whatever moved will move back. I am out of options and ideas. Can anyone help?
