How to animate a simple wardrobe opening?

I have been working with Maya and UDK for only a short period of time now, and am fairly new. I am looking to create a simple wardrobe in Maya that has interactable drawers that open and close. For Example, if you were to walk up to it and press "E" on your keyboard the drawers would open up, you could press "E" on it again and they would close back.

I would like to create a different animation for each drawer, and am confused about how to do that on a single model, if at all possible.

This youtube video is practically what I want, just with the animated opening and closing of the drawers on command http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_y17qZG4UM

Well, My skills are relatively primitive. I would build the wardrobe body, then build a drawer as a separate object, and copy it. Then I would build a door, move the pivot point, and mirror it.

Sounds like part of what you are trying to do involved more programming than maya. Or I just use maya very differently.

Not sure what to tell you. Good luck.
