That might sound odd but I can't find the keys to unlock the drawers! Am I missing something? Cause the drawers won't open!

There is a knob to the immediate left of the handle. You push that to the right.

I'm not at work to check, but I believe you push the button to the left off the handle...keys should be inside.

There is a key hole in the middle drawer, and when you use the key to lock it, it flips up a lever that stops the middle and top drawer from opening, but there is no way to lock the bottom drawer.

I can only think of one thing. Is it way too full? Can you get it open about an inch and no further? If so, you can try shaking the shredder to settle the paper shreds and fish out what ever you can and little by little get the drawer open. If you can not budge door at all because it is REALLY stuck shut, that is another problem. All i can think of is pull super hard or use a pry tool (screwdriver) to try and get it open. Best of luck. stephen c cooper

No, there are no locks on the drawers. But, with some creativity, you can buy drawes locks (search for CRL Nickel Plated Cam Lock for Wood Doors - that's what I bought - use these or similar), find a good spot, drill a hole, insert the lock, and you're done. You may need to use your imagination on the placement of these locks as far as the latching goes. I had to create a groove in the desk to have a place for the latch.

That's funny because I had the same question! I tried and tried but could not figure out how to get the darn thing open!!!

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 lidded top drawer is the only one locked - the side compartment and bottom 3 drawers can still be opened

Oh wow, not had that happen. Is the top drawer fully pushed inward? Maybe toy around with the top drawer to see if that helps.

The drawers have tracks. Did the tracks come with the packaging? Maybe you could download the instructions from the company, or ask them to send to you. We had no problem installing the drawers.

Well if the red button that says OPEN doesn't open the drawer. Check the batteries. If it isn't that, I don't know. I'm sorry :)

I wish I could help but I'm afraid mine is in a drawer somewhere for the exact same reason. Buyers be aware..

I had this same problem, which didn't bother me until my clever cats started wedging the top drawers open & crawling inside the drawers & bed. I realigned the rails- the pilot holes didn't match up exactly so I just left one screw out. I put the drawers back in & moved the heavier items to the bottom drawers, & installed some inexpensive baby protectors on each drawer to keep them secured shut. They align perfectly now, are sturdy & keep the kitties out.

Oops -- replied "I don't know" before reading the other replies --- good to know about the drawer!

Mine has a key that you use to unlock it. You have to turn it more than halfway around, I think. It's a bit tricky at first. Hope you've figured it out!

There is a sliding arm in back that holds the drawers shut. So you can choose to have them locked or not.

The description reads, "locking casters". We travel full time with a 5th wheel trailer and with "casters" locked, neither the drawers or the unit itself has moved! To answer the question, no, you can not lock the drawers!
