Abstract: A latching mechanism can secure one or more moveable members in a cabinet. The latching mechanism includes a support having a back plate mounted to the moveable member and having an opening extending therethrough, an end cap attached to the support and having a mating stem that extends into the support, and a latch having a leading end that extends through the opening in the back plate and a trailing end having a mating bore that is sized to receive the mating stem of the end cap. The mating bore of the latch defines a pivotal axis. The latch is configured to pivot along the pivotal axis between an open position in which the moveable member is moveable in the cabinet and a closed position in which the latch prevents the moveable member from moving away from the cabinet. A locking mechanism for this type of cabinet is also provided.

Abstract: A drawer assembly has a frame with one or more drawer-receiving spaces and one or more drawers received therein. Each drawer includes a pair of guide-receiving tracks and a pair of securable guides. The pair of guide-receiving tracks are positioned on laterals sides of the drawer and each securable guide is received in one of the guide-receiving tracks. Each securable guide includes one or more bearing surfaces in engagement with the respective guide-receiving track to permit linear sliding translation of the drawer relative to the securable guide. Each securable guide also further includes a securing element having an installed position in which the securing element engages the lateral sides of the frame to attach and fix the securable guide in position relative to the frame. The securing element is movable away from this installed position to facilitate installation or removal of the drawer from the frame.
