Abstract

The specification discloses a lift-out drawer slide having a lock to positively prevent accidental or inadvertent removal of the drawer from the cabinet. As is conventional in lift-out slides, the drawer rail can be vertically cocked with respect to the supporting rail to bypass the stop mechanism and remove the drawer. The present slide includes a movable lock which can be positioned within the clearance space between the rails to prevent relative cocking of the rails and thereby prevent bypassing of the stop mechanism.
