A storage container for recording media such as magnetic tape cassettes, compact discs and the like comprises a housing and a slider member displaceable in the housing between storage and removal positions. A locking arrangement is provided for locking the slider member in the housing in the storage position of the slider member. The locking arrangement includes a resilient flexible bar and a latch formed at one of opposite ends of the resilient locking bar with another of the opposite ends being secured to the slider member. A side arm projects from the resilient flexible bar and engages with the slider member for displaceably supporting the latch on the slide member. The arrangement includes a press button which is supported on the front portion of the slide member and is pressed against the resilient flexible bar to provide for movement of the latch from its locking position to its unlocking position.
