<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peasnquiet, post: 2407243, member: 14662&quot;]Here is another route?&nbsp; albeit no key involvement.&nbsp; </p><ul> <li>Is the tambour going all the way back when it‘s open? I have an antique English roll top desk and the brass lock is only for securing the tambour and the middle drawer. The unlocking of the side drawers is triggered by the weight of the open tambour. The back edge of the tambour pushes on a lever/mechanism of some sort and releases the drawers. This illustration from Fine Woodworking gives a visual of a modern mechanism, but the idea is the same...<br /> <br /> <br /> <img src="https://st.hzcdn.com/fimgs/d842b0740c76110b_1487-w240-h339-b0-p0--.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> From Fine Woodworking,<i>Traditional Furniture Projects, Taunton Press.</i><br /> <ul> <li>Like | 2</li> <li>Save</li> </ul><br /> </li> <li></li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
