DRAWER INTERLOCK ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A drawer interlock for a drawer-and-cabinet assembly wherein a cabinet mounts one or more drawers for sliding movement between a retracted position in the cabinet housing and an extended position at least partially out of the front of the housing. The inter- lock comprises a latch pivotably mounted to the cabinet back wall proximate to a back wall of the drawer or drawers with the latch having an upstanding catch and a depending catch extending from a central portion in vertical relationship. The latch interfaces with a hook on the drawer or drawers in the cabinet to prevent more than one drawer from opening at one time. The latch is pivotably mounted and biased against the hook in such a way that the latch does not interfere with the movement of any one drawer but will engage a hook when more than one drawer is opened at a time. In a preferred embodiment, each cabinet has one drawer and the latch interfaces with the drawer in the cabinet and with a drawer in an adjacent cabinet, preferably mounted on a wall. Each drawer has two hooks for interfacing with the latch in the cabinet and with a latch in an adjacent cabinet.
