A method and apparatus for easily and inexpensively coupling a chassis to a slide. Computer related components are disposed within a chassis that is disposed within a rack. A sliding assembly that includes an inner slide allows the chassis to be extended from the rack such that the computer related component can be easily replaced or serviced. The inner slide has an opening extending therethrough that is partially covered by a spring that extends over the opening. A protrusion extends from a side surface of the chassis that can be engaged with the opening so as to couple the chassis to the inner slide. When the protrusion is being inserted into the opening, the spring deforms so as to allow the protrusion to enter the uncovered portion of the opening. When the protrusion reaches the uncovered portion of the opening the spring automatically moves back into its undeformed shape so as to engage the protrusion. The protrusion is secured between the end of the spring and the sides of the opening where the opening is uncovered, securely latching the chassis to the slide. The chassis can be easily uncoupled from the slide by deforming the spring and removing the protrusion from the opening.
