Add extra protection for your office desk

I have a metal desk at work with a fairly simple lock. I keep some things in there, like electronics that I don't want walking, but wouldn't break the bank if they disappeared. It is a metal desk, and the gravity-lock works by lifting a metal bar that engages a slot on each drawer. When you unlock it, the bar drops out of the slots.

This very simple Instructable shows you how to add a little extra protection to the lock.

What you need:
A rare-earth magnet.
I get mine from damaged hard drives.

.

Step 1 Apply magnet

This is pretty easy. Step one of one: Place the magnet on the side of the drawer to hold the bar in the 'Up Position'.

You can see the effect in the video below.
