A remote control locking mechanism is provided for a modular desk assembly, pedestals, cabinets and like assemblies which permits the various storage compartments to be moved about and yet still be locked and unlocked irrespective of their location relative to a remote control lock actuator. Each of the various storage compartments has a locking device attached thereto which is connected to the remote control lock actuator by a cable which is slidably encased within a sheath. The sheath has one end anchored at the particular storage compartment and its opposite end anchored at the remote control lock actuator. One end of the cable is connected to the locking device of the storage compartment and its opposite end connected to a moving device within the remote control lock actuator. The length of the sheath may be greater than the distance between the storage compartment and remote control lock actuator to thereby permit the storage compartment to be moved relative thereto within the length of the sheath, and, upon actuation of the moving device within the remote control lock actuator, the cable may be moved relative to the sheath to actuate the locking device at the storage compartment.
