Craftsman 8 drawer crown top roller - stuck drawers

[tracy8989]

I scored this Craftsman tool chest today. The 2 bottom drawers are open, but the middle ones are stuck. When I was shown the chest by the seller all drawers but the top 2 were open. I think the ride in the back of the truck is what caused this as we set it on its back. Any ideas on how to get them open? I've turn it upside down and on it's side thinking the latch would unlock..it didn't.

Remove the bottom two drawers, pull out the door and look in there with a flashlight?

It's been my experience that we they get older, you really have to slam the door in to get the latch to release. Not so hard you bend stuff but enough to let it know you meant it.
