A merchandise display case has vertically arranged compartments in a cabinet for providing a storage area and a display area, and a gang lock unit which simultaneously locks a bank of drawers in the storage area and cabinet doors covering the display area. The gang lock unit includes a rigid, vertical gang bar which carries the locking means for both the cabinet doors and the bank of drawers and which is moved between its locking position and unlocking position by means of a single accessible locking mechanism. The gang bar preferably has a rectangular or square cross-sectional shape that prevents flexure in any direction and that contributes to the smooth locking action of the gang lock unit.
