Hi. I have made a sliding shelf to sit under my desk to hold a musical keyboard. However, I'm having a problem with the shelf sliding. I'm looking for some sort of catch that I can put either on the top side or bottom side of the shelf (top would be preferred due to accessibility). I've searched numerous internet sites looking for something but haven't been able to find whatever it is that I'm after. I seem to remember something from years ago that was springed and allowed a flick of the thumb to lock it into place but, as I've no idea what it would be called it's hard to find. Any ideas please

Hi. I've posted three images of the shelf. One has the shelf away. Another the shelf out and the third showing the rail at the side. Ideally I'd like some sort of gadget thingumybob that will stop the shelf at any point along it's trajectory. It's basically on a sliding rail. The problem is is that when I'm using a computer for teaching (I usually use a proper piano) that the shelf has a tendency to move which is not good for the student. I did take a video of the shelf in action but can't find a way to post it here

Screw in rubber door stop either end so it's a tight fit against the draw timber will limit the rate of movement, cheap and simple.
