How do I install drawer runners in my drawers?
The installation of roller drawer slides in your drawers can be done in just a few simple steps.
First, make sure you have all the necessary materials. These include the roller drawer slides, as well as a screwdriver and possibly a tape measure.
- Remove the old drawer from your piece of furniture. This should be fairly easy by pulling it out completely and then lifting it to release it from the current slides.
- Measure the distance between the sides of the drawer box and the sides of the drawer slide. The roller drawer slides should fit exactly into this space. If they do not fit, you may need to buy other sizes.
- Attach the roller drawer slides to the sides of the drawer box. Make sure they are straight and level with the guide rails. Use your screwdriver to secure the drawer slides in place.
- Carefully slide the drawer back into the piece of furniture. It should glide smoothly over the new roller slides.
Make sure that the drawer opens and closes reliably. Done! With these steps, you have successfully installed roller drawer slides in your drawers.
