With 9 drawers per column, instead of the usual 7, this arrangement is rarely seen in a single unit, and to have this replicated with a second column is very seldom seen.

The locking mechanism, reminiscent of Hobbs and Co, uses one key between the two locks, with one mechanism rotating clockwise, the other anti-clockwise, and can lock without the key, by simply pushing the arm against the female side of the lock.
