My drawers ride smoothly as well, on a single full extension metal slide mounted underneath with the matching piece attached at the rear of the drawer, so the "lift" can still occur. Installing shock cords or "locking" every drawer before travel seems like a PITA to me, but again; to each his own. I have enough other tasks to remember before pulling out.
