<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okcmurals, post: 313386, member: 6327&quot;]Well, I never found or received an answer that helped my particular problem, but I did solve the issue after finding and reading <a href="https://www.google.com/patents/US950813?dq=desk+locking+bar&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiC_vT2qo3YAhUG0WMKHZzqC5IQ6AEIPTAD" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/patents/US950813?dq=desk+locking+bar&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiC_vT2qo3YAhUG0WMKHZzqC5IQ6AEIPTAD" rel="nofollow">this patent from the turn of the 19th century</a>. </p><p><br /></p><p>In my particular desk, the roll top in fact IS supposed to catch on the L brackets, which depresses the locking bar and disengages the hooks. </p><p><br /></p><p>These hook-latch desks all have a mechanism where opening the controller drawer locks or unlocks the others via pressure on the locking bar in the back of the desk. In my case, instead of a controller drawer, it&#039;s the roll top. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem I was having was due to the latching hook on the top left drawer becoming loose and slightly bent. Rather than fuss with adjusting it, I swapped it for the second drawer down and it solved everything. Now I can lock and unlock the drawers as intended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
