What is an interlock system on a filing cabinet?

An interlock system prevents more than one drawer of a filing cabinet from opening at the same time. This is critical for tip-over prevention — if multiple drawers were open simultaneously, the forward weight could tip a cabinet. Commercial-grade filing cabinets include mechanical interlock systems as standard. Budget models may omit this safety feature.
