I have the same latches that Tom has pictured above on my cabinet drawers. I had a couple that were not working properly. I could not just push the drawer closed & have the drawer lock as the latch is designed. The drawer would stop at the latch & not push in totally & lock. I could manually lock it by holding down on the latch and closing the drawer. I compared the latch with other latches that worked properly and the others seemed to depress easier & work smoother. I took a toothpick and dipped it in some olive oil and then applied it to the up & down surfaces of the latch. The latch now works as designed and feels very easy & smooth.

Hope this helps someone else....................
