Do the drawers lock closed when not in use? My concern is having them slide open when being driven in my truck.

The drawers don't 'lock' in place, but they do 'set down' once pushed all the way back. I have my top drawer full of lightweight items (mostly plastic), the bottom drawer is full of bolts, so it's heavy. My Ford E150 van will really throw things around as I drive around town. I have never had either drawer slide out. You have to lift them ever so slightly in order to pull them out, so the design keeps them in place. I believe the whole toolbox would tip over before one of the drawers would slide out. I have all 4 sizes of the L-BOXX and would not trade for them - best thing I've ever bought to organize all of my tools and transport them 'modularly' and easily.

Yes the drawers are secure. You have to lift 1/4 invh to pull and slide. If in the truck, I dont think they will slide by themselfs.

There is a catching mechanism that will hold then in. When a drawer slides in all the way it drops down into an indent. To open the drawer, just lift slightly before pulling.

I have had this in my truck for 2 months. neither drawer has come open. There is a small detente on both sides of each drawer that hold them in place. Lift and pull to slide out.

It does not have a lock per se, but there is a catch that keeps them in place. In order to open the drawer, you must lift the drawer slightly and then slide them out. It is pretty secure and I don't think it would open in your truck. Hope this helps.

I do not believe they do. I do think they are pretty secure because I have to pull fairly hard to get them to slide out, but I do not think they lock in when the top is closed. I will pay more attention when I get home tonight.

Yes, all of them lock. The key hole is on the upper right corner and when you lock it, all drawers lock. It's a very nice piece file cabinet.

There was no lock on mine. One disappointment I had with file drawer is that once I put files in it, a few days later it stopped closing completely. Feels like it's off track, but if I lift it up higher it will close. Very inconvenient if you use the drawer daily so mine now remains open about 2-3 inches. Other than that, I love the desk.

No. This is a lovely and very useful piece of furniture, is slim, and fits into a small house or apartment, but the drawers have no locks. I have had mine for couple of years, and have enjoyed the ease of using my silver, since before, it was packed away. It has a small footprint, but holds a very surprisingly large amount of flatwear!

All the drawers lock, the sides and top do not lock. I love mine and never lock it because I do not have children under the age of 43, lol.

The drawers do not have metal glides or even those carved in slots on the side, so I guess the answer would be no. What they do have is a little wooden slat on both sides of the unit and under the drawers to hold them in place and a raised lip at the back of the drawer to keep them from falling out if you pull the drawer out too far. I still love my jewelry box after more than a year though and the drawers slide easily and I've never had one fall out - even when my cat jumps in it. She can't resist an open drawer for some reason.

John,Yes, the drawers lock when you close the top. However if you'd like the ability to open drawers with the lid closed all you have to do is close the lid with the drawers open, you can then close the drawers... they will not close completely but they will close enough to look as if they're closed. I do it all the time, my grand kids are in my shop often and don't even realize they're open.

Yes they lock in place. They do not slide unless you release them. They do not require tension from a load to stay in place.

Hello Tami;The drawers don't have locks on them. You can only open one drawer at a time though. This is to keep the cabinet from tipping. I hope this helps.

In my experience, the drawers stay in very well. I haven't had any problem with them slipping out accidentally. And, while the wheels are removable, you would probably want to put something else there for stability.

I have no problems with the drawers. Not too bad. I suppose they could be a little heavy duty but it was a great price.

No. But its something I am fine with. Sometimes I scoot my chair on wheels, too far forward, and the drawer closes a little; have to pull back out. My problem was leaning to hard on the drawer over the years, broke the plastic screw slots off, where it became annoyingly loose.

These slides do not lock. They are firm enough to stay in the position you leave them in though

If you lift off the top board/slab and there should be small clips on the drawers which lock them into place. You will need to hold them down before you can slide them out.

yes, both drawers lock. the material is that strong so it could be broken in to if someone really want to but the lock does lock both drawers
1165626
Hi Tami, there are 2 drawers, if you open one the other one is locked, so you never can open both drawers at the same time. But you do not have the opportunity to actually lock the drawers that nobody else can open it. Best regards, Gabriele

The drawers don't have sliders. They have grooves in them that guide them along a track that's built into the cabinet. The drawers do pull out smoothly, but since they don't have sliders extending their range they don't quite pull all the way out. I'd say the drawers pull out about 4/5 of the way.
