r/cabinetry on Reddit: Replacing basic drawer slides with something better.
January 17, 2024 -

Ok, so we built the kitchen with the standard ready made cabinets from one of the big box stores. The wood parts are holding up well. However, we couldn't upgrade the slides at the time as they were already built.

It's time to replace them. I don't want to get random junk from Amazon. Some of the brands I've seen here are Knape and Vogt, Blum, and one or two others that I seem to have lost track of.

There is 1/2" between the side and the face. They are mounted on the rear with a small bracket.

Is it as simple as out with the old and in with the new? Anything I need to watch out for or make sure I do?

They are 22 inch. Planning on getting full extension soft closing.

Thank you for your help.

This is what we currently have in use.

How do I fix a sagging drawer?
I’m sure there will be other, better suggestions than mine, but just in case I’ll still leave a suggestion. You can add a brace underneath the board. Fit that board back into its slot, cut a piece of wood that runs from front to back and fit it underneath the drawer. Pinning it in with a pinner would be easiest, nailing it in would be fine, screws would be good too. If you nail or screw it in you’ll want to predrill the holes so you don’t crack the wood.

Replacing basic drawer slides with something better.
Going to side-mount ball bearing slides is a fairly simple swap out if your side clearances are right, usually 1/2" each side. They can be fussy to install and hard to adjust if you don't get it exactly right the first time. Accuride and Fulterer are good brands for side mounts. The soft close mechanisms for side mounts aren't that great Undermount ball bearing slides are the best, Blum, Hettich, or Salice in that order of preference. But you will almost certainly have to modify your cabinet openings and drawer boxes to make everything fit right, or get new drawer boxes. The boxes need to be built very specifically to work with under mounts. More on reddit.com

August 28, 2006 - Finish the cut by popping the remaining scrap off the side, up to the drawer front, and paring it smooth with a long chisel, or a bull-nose plane. Piece the drawer side out with a slip cut from matching wood. Glue in place. Some things to watch out for:1) Nails from previous repair attempts, or used to attach blocking between drawer side and bottom.

July 7, 2025 - Based on what I’ve researched, side mount and bottom mount slides are not interchangeable. If you purchase a bottom mount slide, it comes with the piece in the bottom and the piece that attaches to the drawer. Since this a piece that you are repairing, the hard part is done for you.

December 15, 2023 -

I got this dresser from goodwill an employee helpfully removed the drawers to make moving it lighter, but broke all of them while doing so.

I have repaired the top three rails using a spare parts kit I found online, but the two bottom rails look like they extend and internally slide open, and some parts may he missing. I don’t really know what.

The backing on the bottom two rails is different than the top but also have some variation. Where do I start?

Answer (1 of 4): Is it broken or just gummed up with dirt and grease? If it is gummed up take out the draw to gain access to the slides and clean them well. Gasoline works great for greasy messes but be careful not to breathe the fumes. Work outside and no smoking !
