The specification discloses a sequential drawer slide having a simple yet positively reliable sequencing mechanism. The mechanism includes a gravity operable control lever carried by the intermediate slide member and shiftable at the transition point between two positions, each wherein either the cabinet or drawer slide member is interlocked with the intermediate member. The single control lever therefore provides full sequencing of the slide members.
