Do drawers have a locking machanism to prevent from sliding out completly?

No, and I would *NOT* recommend buying this item. I did, and I regret it - and had to finally throw it out after just a few weeks. Despite many negative reviews, I bought it and very, very carefully put it together. It was still a piece of junk. Don't waste your money like I did - get another cabinet.

The drawers themselves are on ball-bearing (full extension) glides. As noted in the other answers, the entire cabinet has optional casters, including a fifth caster under the front of the bottom drawer which offers stability when that drawer is pulled out.

Only the top drawer has a lock which may not suit everyone. I rarely lock the filing cabinet so one is fine.

Yes, they can. The back of the drawer is a little bit higher than the rest of the sides of the drawer so when you open it you don't pull the drawer all the way out. But if you tip the drawer up as you pull it out, it comes all the way out.

Unfortunately, the drawers do not pull completely out. They open about halfway, which really limits convenience.

I was wondering that as well when I was going to get this. It does have a clear piece that does latch so the drawers stay secure.

Yes, the drawers have slides but one of mine catches slightly when opened fully. It doesn't really affect the operation much.

No, the drawers should recess into the cabinet. I had a terrible time with the slides. The little brass screws that hold the slides must be perfectly flush with the metal or the drawer will not slide back properly. Took me two days to finally get them to fit right (and a little cursing!). Good Luck!

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.

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!

Yes they do... Not individually, it's a single mechanism that locks all of the drawers.

No, the drawers do not lock. I have seen desk drawer locks that you can add to a drawer, but since this is a hollow core frame, I don't know if that would even be an option.

Yeah, but there are blocks in the back that prevent the drawer from being opened that way or from slipping out.I'm sure with a sturdy pair of pliers you could bend it out of the way

Well, it technically doesn't slide ALL THE WAY out. There's a little lip on the very back of the drawer that prevents it from freely coming out. But you CAN remove the drawer if you want to by just sliding it as far out as possible and then lifting up on the drawer as you pull it completely out.

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

The top right and bottom drawer locks. The two smaller left side drawers do not lock.
