A dispensing cabinet may include a security panel and a plunger having a disengaged position and an engaged position. The plunger may be secured in the disengaged position by the security panel. The security panel may be released in order to transition the plunger from the disengaged position to the engaged position. The dispensing cabinet may further include a lever configured to interface with the plunger and one or more latch assemblies. The lever may shift upwards in response to the plunger being transitioned from the disengaged position to the engaged position. An upward motion of the lever may release the one or more latch assemblies by rotating, to a limit, a cam bracket included in each of the one or more latch assemblies. The dispensing cabinet may be unlocked by the release of the one or more latch assemblies.
