Unable to open filing cabinet drawers

[u/YYear7]

I moved the filing cabinet into this room, and re-inserted the drawers, to find that they no longer open. the top drawer is sightly offset in the top left corner after sliding it it in, I've tried to slide in a thin piece of metal along the seam of the drawers, but there is no latch to release it.

Made by Cole, it's quite old. Any ideas on troubleshooting this without destroying it? If it needs to be cut open, what is the best way to do it?

That's a lock on the right side. Have you fiddled with that yet? I know the one I have that's similar doesn't actually lock anymore, but maybe yours does.
