Don't know about Bisley specifically - but with most filing cabinets, you
slide the drawers out as far as they will move on their slides and then lift
them slightly at the front to disengage the slides.

Or some of them have a hole in the slider that you poke through to disengage
the barb that stops them coming all the way out

Some, such as the one my parents dumped last week, have drawers secured
to the runners by rivets. My Sankey cabinet, on the other hand, has a
drop catch at the end of each runner which must be lifted to allow the
drawer to be wrestled free. No doubt you have looked for all the
catches so it may well be that you are into rivet drilling or drawer
lifting as suggested elsewhere.

Don't you mean a Bisley power tool cabinet?

On the Bisley cabinet I have there are two longitudinal tabs on the
underside of each drawer (one on each side, at the front) which engage in
slots in the runners. Each tab is fitted with a small self-tapping screw,
the head of which prevents the drawer accidentally being lifted off the
runner. Remove said screws and, hey-presto, the drawers are easily removed.
(It is rare to find these screws re-fitted once they have been removed.)

This is all pretty obvious, so perhaps yours is a different design...

The obvious question is did you ask Bisley ?

There are various methods to retain a drawer in a filing cabinet.
Sometimes pulling them out as far as possible and then tilting the front
downwards will do the trick.

Sometimes there will be a locking clip located on the side of the runner
or even underneath it which requires pushing in to release. At times
these can only be released when the drawer is in one particular
position, generally with the drawer pulled out about 2.3rds

Some cabinets even use a screw to secure the drawer in the runner. (ISTR
