Abstract
The present invention relates to a drawer slide assembly with an integral strike and catch mechanism to inhibit inadvertent opening of a drawer. The structure of the present invention comprises at least two drawer slide members slidably engaged. One slide member includes an adjustable strike and another slide member includes a catch. The strike and catch engage when the drawer is closed and thus prevent inadvertent opening of the drawer. A strike fastener allows for quick and effective adjustment of the strike position which partially determines the pull force necessary to open the drawer.
