DrawerSlide BASICSInstalling drawer slides can be a scary process, but with a few tips you'll be hanging drawers with the best of 'em. Every woodworker remembers a moment of paralyzing fear when they had to do some task for the first time. Mine occurred when tasked to make my first drawer while working in a custom cabinet shop. I'd watched the "old guys" make drawers, but now it was my turn. I allowed the proper 1" side-to-side clearance (1/2" for each side) and the drawers themselves turned out fine. Then it came time to install the drawers. The shop foreman handed me a box of epoxy-coated under-mount slides and walked away. No instructions. Nothing. It was time to learn the hard way. To help you avoid that paralyzing fear, we decided to share some of our hard-won experience with you on installing drawer slides. Following are instructions on the two most common slides available from home centers, catalogs and retail stores: under-mount slides and full-extension side-mount slides. by David Thiel Comments or questions?
