How should I handle a lateral file cabinet with drawers that stick or are hard to open?

Sticking drawers on commercial lateral files usually mean one of two things: drawer slides need lubrication (apply a dry lubricant like PTFE spray to the slide rails, not WD-40 which attracts dust), or the cabinet is overloaded beyond the drawer's rated weight (redistribute files or remove some to reduce drawer weight). In some cases, the cabinet has shifted on an uneven floor causing the frame to rack slightly — re-level the cabinet. If slides are damaged beyond lubrication, most commercial drawer slides can be ordered as replacement parts.
