Removing desk drawer in 3750FL

[jdowell56]

Some important papers fell out of one of the desk drawers into the bottom of the desk. Only way to get to them is to remove a drawer. Sounds simple but I can't figure out how to release the slides. Anybody know?

Yep ,no problem when you pull the drawer all the way out look at the end of the slides and you will see little black "levers" that you have to push down on as you are pulling the drawer out ,push down on Both sides at the same time and then the whole drawer will come out, sometimes you have to wiggle them as you are pulling out but they will let loose

BigSkyJimmy is correct except on my drawers one lever pushes down and the opposite side lifts up. Left side up and Right side down.
Good luck.

Yep corrected you are right guys left side push UP ,only looked at the right side, you know what they say "assumptions are the mother of all screwups"

I found it helps if you use a flat blade screwdriver to pry the black lever and then slide the middle section toward the rear of the drawer working on one side at a time. Don't completely disconnect the sections of the drawers slide but move it enough so it stays disconnected until you can do the other side. Once both sides are disconnected then you can pull the drawer completely out. Some of the levers are very hard to move enough to disconnect.
Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone. Papers retrieved. bigskyjimmys first recommendation had me thinking I was going nuts. Once I did the left up, right down it was a cinch.
