How to Install Drawer Slides

This sharpening station uses Blum's low profile 3/4 extension slides. This all-purpose, bottom mounted steel slide features an epoxy coating and is self-closing, a nice feature on a project like this. Rated at up to 100 pounds per drawer, this is one of the easiest slides on the market to mount—just follow the four steps below. Remember, you'll need 1/2" on each side of the drawer to accommodate your slides.

1. In the case of this sharpening center (and many other cabinet projects), spacer blocks are installed to provide a mounting surface flush with the face frame.

2. Once the spacers are installed, use your drill to mount the inside slide component to the bottom edge of your drawer bottoms. Be sure to drill pilot holes first.

3. With the drawer components in place, move on to the casework components and mount them to the spacer blocks or cabinet sides, predrilling your pilot holes.

4. Locate the drawer fronts on the drawers. An old trick is to use double-sided tape to tack the drawer face in place before you secure it with screws.
