To unlock a drawer slide, follow these steps:
1. Locate the locking mechanism on the drawer slide. It may be a lever, a button, or a latch.
2. Depending on the type of locking mechanism, push, pull, or press it to release the lock.
3. Once the lock is released, gently pull or push the drawer to open or close it.
4. If the drawer slide is still not unlocking, check for any obstructions or debris that may be preventing it from releasing.
5. Clean or remove any obstructions, and try unlocking the drawer slide again.
6. If the issue persists, consult the manufacturer’s instructions or seek professional help.
Drawer slides are the slim metal tracks installed on both sides of a drawer and on the inside of the cabinet, dresser, or other piece of furniture that the drawer fits into. The slides fit together perfectly to make it easy to open and close the drawer. Some drawer slides have a safety lock that prevents the drawers from fully extending, which can be dangerous. If you want to take out the drawer, you need to release the slide first.
Step 1
Grab the handle of the drawer and slowly pull it towards you until it stops and can’t move any further.
Step 2
Examine the left side of the drawer where you can see the metal slide. Find a small tab near the front of the slide, which is usually black or white but may be a different color. Keep one hand on the tab while you look at the right side of the drawer to locate the corresponding tab.
Step 3
Pull up or push down on the tabs until you feel them click, which unlocks them. Hold the sides of the drawer with your hands and lift slightly while pulling straight towards you to completely remove the drawer.
