How To - Fix Ball Bearing Strips on Drawer Slider 

You literally saved my life. My mom was cussing me out about how I broke this thing and because of your video I was able to fix it back thank you so much. You don’t know how much of a God sent you are. Thank you.

This is why I love RU-vid, thanks much

This was such an easy fix after seeing this video. I’d been messing around with this for half an hour without taking the entire piece apart. I decided to look up a fix on RU-vid. Very clear, simple instructions and great video. Well done! Thank you!

I literally cannot thank you enough!!!!!! I tried forever today to figure this out, decided to buy new sliders, then thought….I bet someone on RU-vid can help me get those ball bearings back in. All fixed!!!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much!!!! I just spent an hour trying to shove this thing back together and after your video I was able to fix it in less than a minute!!!! This is a life saver!

Worked perfect! Of course my husband and I had been trying for almost 45 minutes prior to finding this video! Followed step by step and had it done in minutes!

Dude, you came to my rescue when I was at the point where I was going to order new drawer slides! I did one more search for resolving this issue and discovered your video. It worked perfectly! Thanks so much for going to the trouble of making this super helpful video! You rock!

This is why RU-vid is.

Its working bro thankq very mch

Adam, thank you for this video! You have quickly brought life back to a broken dresser, and brought peace into my house.

Very helpful! Anyone know where replacement ball bearings strips might be sold? I have a drawer where one strip was completely bent out of shape & nearly torn. Can’t seem to find anyplace that sells the ball bearing strips, only the full slide assembly replacement! 😂🤣🤷‍♂️

This is exactly what we needed and had trouble finding advice on. Thanks so much!!

Life saver dude. Thanks so much for taking the time to shoot & upload this!!! Thanks so much

THANK YOU SO MUCH! When everything was going wrong, you helped me do something right! I can’t thank you enough ❤️‍🔥

Good camera angles. Very clear. I watched a dozen videos and this was the only one that helped me get my slider back together.

Thank you. I had no idea how to fix a broken slider and had wasted the best part of an hour trying different things. I was stumped. Five minutes after watching your video, the slider was fixed and installed.

Thanks, husband upstairs trying to figure it out for the last hour! Thank you and thank goodness for YOU TUBE

thank you so much you are the best person alive! I hope all the traffic lights are green for you, and ur pillows both sides are cool!!!

Saved me feom firther butchering my new drawer. Too bad you cant fix the pegs sticking out of the sides

This is amazing! Took me quite a while to find this video, but it was EXACTLY the right way to get it fixed. THANK YOU!!!!! :)

Thanks for the vid. I don’t have ball-bearing strips.. just loads of loose ball bearings rolling around everywhere. Does this mean my drawers are not fixable?

Good info, my issue was the silver bit in this video popped out so had to figure out to get that back in while managing to keep all the loose ball bearings in place but this is still good to know if I ever run into this issue.

Thank you! This video is so helpful I have this exact drawer slider and I've lost a few of the ball bearing strips over the years! 🤦‍♀ Has anyone had any luck finding any to buy online?😬

Jeez ive been looking for this video for ages. You are amazing thanks for uploading

An absolute life saver, thanks for the help!!!

Hi u are a savior. Btw can u share how to fix if those little ball bearings are not in place? Really pain in the ass. 😂

Adam thank you so much! I’m a handy guy but those rollers had me messed up. Was thinking I needed some channel-locks to start bending some of rail back and forth. Thank you!

Thank you so much...your idea helped me perfectly 🌸🌸🌸

Great video just had this issue...you saved me!!! Thanks alot!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I knew there had to be a way, but I would have never figured it out on my own.

Thank U so much mate. I was trying to force it back in and obviously it didn't work!!found your video and took me 2min to fix. 🙏🏻👍👌

You were the one that explained that I can put down the lock tab to extract or insert the slide. I searched in many videos and you were the ones. Thanks so much! I was afraid because that tab has like a security pinch, so I thought it was not possible to move.

omg...best video EVER! Thank you

thank you so much! I just fixed my drawer!!!

THANK U i was having a breakdown over this

Conspiracy theory - I think the reason the roller strips can't be found online for replacement (at least I haven't had any luck) is because the companies that make the drawer slides have bought out any license or vendor trying to sell them and then made them unavailable so you have to replace the whole thing. :(

After attempting to put this back together for an hour and can safely say this video was helpful 🤣

Cleam and simple instructions to fix this. I am messing around for an hour to before watching this video.

I love RU-vid. Thanks so much Adam!

Thank you for this video I just assembled a new computer desk for nearly 2hrs and dropped the drawer as I was feeding it in and this happened. Now it’s an easy fix!

thank you, used you video to fix pull out freezer draw

I lost one of the plastic pieces with the 5 ball bearings. Anyone know what that's called? Or where to order a replacement? Thank in advance.

I wish I would’ve watched this over an hour ago! That’s how long I been messing with this drawer! Thank you.

Thank you! So helpful and prevented me from wasting even more time trying to get them back in without taking the whole strip out.

You are a life saver! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Such a life saver def subscribing and liking 😆😆

Thank you!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you soo much for this video…you made my night!

Thanks! These are the exact ones I am trying to fix.

It was informative. But it was hard for me to see the parts. Can you have more indirect lighting above and get camera a little closer. Thanks loads!

Thanks man. Wish I'd watched it before I spent best part of an hour trying to do it the impossible way. Kitchen drawer secure, wife happy.

Thanks sir very helpful 👍

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. You saved me so much time and frustration

Bro do you know how many hours of frustration you saved me

Thanks for the video. I figured I needed to bend the tab to slide the plastic slider and bearings in, pushing them down marked the rails -- so obviously not how it was put together originally. In my case, I needed to place the plastic slider and bearings on the inside of the outer bracket in order to push the inner bracket through since the bearings would fall off of the plastic sliders if placed on the outside. The holes on the slider were too big to hold the bearings in place.

Do you know where I can buy more strips? What they are called? We just totally lost one, or our dresser has been without it since we bought it.

Thanks man! It worked 💯💯❤️🙏🏿

Great video! Where can I find the bearing strips? These look exactly like the ones I need.

Thanks so much for this video, i had so some trouble in stalling this slides and damaged three in the process. now i can try fixing the drawer slides. Thanks a heap

Thank you for ur vdo helping me lot

I will try this first thing tomorrow, my family are showering me with heavy comments after i snapped one side out i will tell how it went

Awesome instructions. Worked for me

Nice work explaining and showing! Much appreciated!😊

I JUST saved my life!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

It was helpful, thank you soooooo muchhhhh❤

This video was unbelievably helpful! I was really starting to get pissed off tryna figure out how to put this thing back together!! 😂

Good job! Thanks for the video

Superb Demonstration....Just delivered what i needed...Hats off!!!

Thanks! The metal drawer slide on my GE Freezer sliding drawer just came off and I used these instructions to put it back together! The bearing strips and the drawer slide for a freezer are assembled exactly the same way!

Thank you. I don't get stumped that easily but couldn't figure out how to get those ball bearings back in. Going from the backside was the key.

What a great video, a true life saver. Seriously thanks for the help.

Appreciate this, I was stuck mine was a little cheaper apparently and I had to individually insert each ball bearing into that I didn't have a track that connected to it but I was still able to kind of follow the instructions. Which let me resolve my issue thanks so much

Thankyou so much I was wrapping my head to get it back together You are a legend 💯💯💯

Thank you!!! This was so helpful. We successfully fixed our drawer. Your video is perfect.

Thanks for this video! Really easy to follow after fiddling on my own for so long.

I wish I had just searched this on RU-vid before I tried to be a desk surgeon. 😂 oh well, your help is so appreciated!!!! Drawer is working like new

just what I needed, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful

Thank you for this video, I fixed the drawer that was broken for 3 years and now I feel powerful

Couldnt find instructions anywhere when I received a damaged product. This worked perfectly and saved me a lot of money trying to ship it back or get someone to repair! Thanks a million!

Dios te bendiga. Gracias

Huge help, thank you!

Thanks for your help

TO THE POINT! Thank You!!

Thank you so much! You rock!

This was really helpful even though my sliders were a very different style. Conceptually confirmed what I thought and gave me the confidence to make a fix on my kitchen trash can drawer. Just to get a second opinion I was reading through a Reddit thread, and it coincidentally had a link to this video 🙂 Thanks!

Thank you for this!!
