I bought a two drawer wooden filing cabinet (well, one filing drawer and

Now we have lugged it up to the office it won't open.
It seems to be locked.
I assume the mechanism may have shifted during transit.


Many of these cabinets have a mechanism preventing more than one drawer
opening so just make sure that BOTH drawers are FULLY in their closed
position before trying to open one of them.


If it is the normal type meaning not a high security type then they are
very easy to pick, I can pick mine in around 5 seconds.
