figures of speech or figurative imagery
No. Figurative language is essentially descriptive language using comparisons. Similes and metaphors fall under this category. For example, "Her anger boiled over like a pot of rice." Figures of speech are just idioms, or phrases that don't mean what they say literally. Like "racking your brains" or "We'll play it by ear" or "It's a piece of cake."
This is an example of a metaphor, because it is comparing to things. It is comparing the locked drawer to a magnet.
