14. Tips on how to correctly install drawer slides

 

Are you tired of struggling to install drawers in your furniture? Installing drawers can be tricky, especially for those who have no carpentry skills. But don’t worry; we have an easy solution that will make the process a breeze. You can install drawers like a pro with the right tools and tricks!

Tutorial:

  • First, use a 2×4 when attaching the drawer slide to the frame. This will help you align the slide properly and ensure it is secure.
  • Next, when installing the drawer slide to the drawer box, use 1/4 inch plywood to space it. This will help you position the slide correctly and prevent any wobbling. Another trick is to secure the drawer slides to the drawer box while it’s in place. This will save you from guessing the correct space and ensure a perfect fit.
  • Lastly, slide the drawer box and rails out to fully secure the rail and test it out. This will ensure that your drawer functions properly and avoids any potential issues.
