A cabinet is provided which includes wall structure defining an open-faced compartment containing a plurality of upright drawers or panels mounted in the compartment for movement from a first position totally within the compartment to a second position extending out of the compartment. The cabinet includes a lock bar movable between unlocked and locked positions, wherein in the locked position the lock bar prevents drawers disposed in the first position from moving to the second position and biasing structure coupled to the lock bar and resiliently urging the lock bar toward the unlocked position. The lock bar moves to its locked position in response to movement of a drawer to its second position.
