(Which is what everyone keeps in file cabinets right?) LOL! </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, My husband was like sure. He was so proud of himself he said I have this one half way done but I can't get the other. Later in the day I realized these cabinets were not locking at all. It is a safety feature. You can't open more than one drawer at a time. My husband didn't pick the lock he just thought he did. The lock was never locked. LOL! I didn't bother telling him this because ya know he was so proud. LOL! It took me more than 3 months to figure this out. LOL! Not my greatest moment. LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
