A merchandising system includes an elongated mounting member having a wall with at least one tooth and a cooperating member having a front end receivable on the mounting member. The cooperating member can include a slot defined in the front end. A lock is received in the slot. The lock includes at least one tooth located at a first end and a resilient member located at a second end. The lock can selectively engage the mounting member so as to retard or permit a lateral movement of the cooperating member in relation to the mounting member.

1. A merchandising system comprising: a cooperating member including a front end defining a slot and a chamber accessible through the slot;a mounting member including a front wall at least partially defining a channel configured to receive the front end of the cooperating member, the front wall having a tooth; anda lock at least partially received in the chamber and at least partially disposed within the channel of the mounting member, the lock including a front end, a tab, and a resilient member, the front end including a tooth configured to selectively engage the tooth of the mounting member to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a first direction, the tab extending from the channel of the mounting member such that urging the tab in a direction counter to a bias of said resilient member disengages the tooth of the lock from the tooth of the mounting member. 2. The merchandising system of claim 1, wherein the tab includes a front face, and wherein the tooth of the lock is disposed rearward of the front face and forward of the resilient member. 3. The merchandising system of claim 2, wherein the front face extends above the tooth of the lock. 4. The merchandising system of claim 1, wherein the front end and the tab collectively define an L-shape. 5. The merchandising system of claim 1, wherein the tab is accessible over the front wall of the mounting member. 6. The merchandising system of claim 1, wherein the front wall of the mounting member includes a rearwardly extending flange. 7. The merchandising system of claim 6, wherein the flange is operable to engage the tooth of the lock to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a second direction. 8. The merchandising system of claim 7, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. 9. The merchandising system of claim 7, further comprising a protrusion extending from the cooperating member and adapted to engage the mounting member to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in the second direction. 10. The merchandising system of claim 9, wherein the mounting member includes a rear wall defining a groove configured to receive the protrusion. 11. A merchandising system comprising: a cooperating member including a front end;a mounting member defining a channel and including a tooth, the channel configured to receive the front end of the cooperating member; anda lock mounted to the cooperating member and at least partially disposed within the channel of the mounting member, the lock adapted to move relative to the cooperating member from an extended position to a retracted position, the lock including a front end, a tab, and a biasing member, the front end including a tooth configured to selectively engage the tooth of the mounting member to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a first direction, the tab extending from the channel of the mounting member and adapted to be manually contacted for pushing the lock into the retracted position against a bias of the biasing member. 12. The merchandising system of claim 11, wherein the tab includes a front face, and wherein the tooth of the lock is disposed rearward of the front face and forward of the biasing member. 13. The merchandising system of claim 12, wherein the front face extends above the tooth of the biasing member. 14. The merchandising system of claim 11, wherein the front end and the tab collectively define an L-shape. 15. The merchandising system of claim 11, wherein the mounting member includes a front wall at least partially defining the channel, and wherein the tab is accessible over the front wall of the mounting member. 16. The merchandising system of claim 11, wherein the mounting member includes a front wall at least partially defining the channel and having a rearwardly extending flange. 17. The merchandising system of claim 16, wherein the flange is operable to engage the tooth of the lock to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a second direction. 18. The merchandising system of claim 17, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. 19. The merchandising system of claim 17, further comprising a protrusion extending from the cooperating member and adapted to engage the mounting member to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in the second direction. 20. The merchandising system of claim 19, wherein the mounting member includes a rear wall defining a groove configured to receive the protrusion. 21. A merchandising system comprising: a cooperating member including a front end defining a slot and a chamber accessible through the slot;a mounting member including a front wall at least partially defining a channel configured to receive the front end of the cooperating member, the front wall having a tooth; anda lock at least partially received in the chamber, the lock including a front end, a tab, and a resilient member, the front end including a tooth configured to selectively engage the tooth of the mounting member to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a first direction, the tab extending from the channel of the mounting member such that urging the tab in a direction counter to a bias of said resilient member disengages the tooth of the lock from the tooth of the mounting member,wherein the front wall of the mounting member includes a rearwardly extending flange operable to engage the tooth of the lock to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a second direction. 22. A merchandising system comprising: a cooperating member including a front end;a mounting member defining a channel and including a tooth, the channel configured to receive the front end of the cooperating member; anda lock mounted to the cooperating member and adapted to move relative to the cooperating member from an extended position to a retracted position, the lock including a front end, a tab, and a biasing member, the front end including a tooth configured to selectively engage the tooth of the mounting member to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a first direction, the tab extending from the channel of the mounting member and adapted to be manually contacted for pushing the lock into the retracted position against a bias of the biasing member,wherein the mounting member includes a front wall at least partially defining the channel and having a rearwardly extending flange operable to engage the tooth of the lock to inhibit movement of the cooperating member relative to the mounting member in a second direction.
