    How to get a counterweighted drawer on metal desk unstuck?
    My desk has counterweighted drawers, and frequently the top drawer won't open, as if the bottom drawer is open (you can only open one drawer at a time). I'd like to either fix whatever is causing this to happen, or disable the counterweight function that prevents both drawers being opened at the same time (because I'm not dumb enough to do that, anyway).

    Anyone know how to do this while the top drawer is still stuck?
