A release mechanism for a drawer slide latch may include linearly translatable elements. The linearly translatable elements may cause rotation of a lever arm used in latching one drawer slide member to another. The linearly translatable elements may be coupled to a drawer, or be a component mounted to the drawer slide, in various embodiments.

Drawer slide latching

A rotating bar may be used to unlatch a drawer of a cabinet. In some embodiments a drawer slide used to extendably mount the drawer within the cabinet includes a latch comprised of a tab coupled to an inner member and a catch to receive the tab on an outer member. The tab may be part of a release lever, which may be actuated by an arm coupled to the rotating bar, to release the latch.
