I had mentioned in my email yesterday that one has to use latching side mounted drawer slides. The full extension ones are best.
You can easily find them by doing an internet search. Search for “latching drawer slides” or “RV drawer slides”.
Here are just a few that I found. There are many more.

The ebay one I list is very inexpensive and it has a locking tab that requires one to slightly lift the front of the drawer to open it.
I am not sure if those are full extension though.
