How to Install Drawer Slides (Ball-Bearing) 

You should check with your particular slides, but these were 1/2” on either side of the drawer.

This measurement will change for your particular application, as it depends on the height at which the slide is on the drawer itself, and how far the face (or front) of the drawer extends beyond the bottom of the drawer. If you are creating an inset drawer like I did, and want to know what height to mount the slide on the furniture, add the gap you want between the face of the drawer and the furniture, how far the face extends beneath the bottom of the drawer, and the distance to the middle of the slide on the drawer itself. Then you will know what height the slide mount will need to be installed on the piece of furniture.

😬 Hard to say. Maybe a screw is loose or not all the way screwed in the slide?

The first time that you push the slides in, there can be a little resistance. However, if you continue to feel resistance after closing the drawer, and re-opening it, the spacing between the slides could be too far apart or too close together.👍

Awesome! So glad it helped!👍😊

Hope it helped!

Sorry you feel that way. I hope you find better instructions!

Awesome! So glad it helped you! Best of luck on your project!

@@rutterrealtygcI feel like you sort of breezed past the yummy part.

What? I’m not sure I understand your question.

Glad you liked the video.👍

Because if they are not level then the top of your drawer will either be further in or stick farther out than the bottom depending on which way it is tilted. 👍

@@rutterrealtygc level to what? The floor? What if the cabinet is sitting on a floor that isn’t perfectly level? I can build that cabinet in outter space, where a level won’t matter. Glides must be square/perpendicular to the face frame or front of the cabinet. I’ve built hundreds of cabinets, and the “only” time I use a level is when I’m hanging them. Aside from that, it’s all about being square, one piece to another.
