Default Picking a desk lock

I bought a two drawer wooden filing cabinet (well, one filing drawer and
one shallow drawer) on Gumtree. No key, but checked it out and all looked
good.

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.

Does anyone know how easy these office furniture locks are to pick?


An old steel filing cabinet I use as workshop storage seemed to have
locked itself in transit when we moved. Lots of jiggling of drawers and
banging on the sides freed mine.
