Abstract
A unique take-apart lock mechanism for use with drawer slides in cabinet and drawer arrangements is disclosed. The mechanism comprises a release lever, a butterfly catch and a pair of stop blocks. The butterfly catch and release lever are mounted within the drawer slide and the stop blocks mounted within the larger cabinet slide. By moving the release lever slideably within the inner channel, a pair of projections pull outwardly biased resilient wings of the butterfly catch inwardly, therefore allowing them to pass by the stop blocks, enabling the drawer to be removed from the cabinet. When the release lever is returned to its normal position, the drawer can be extended from the cabinet outwardly to a locked position thereby prohibiting it from being removed or accidentally falling.
