Hi everyone! I found an even better source for these high quality drawer glides: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/maximera-drawer-low-white-50265663/ . Now you can save even more by buying only what you need!
Thanks for the follow-up Info. to a very well thought out video. I have an IKEA kitchen and ended up here after watching your other video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kh01Z8Dg4Lk.html&app=desktop) when I searched for how to remove IKEA drawer fronts. The link for the 36” wide low MAXIMERA drawer (the nice Blum slow close sliders are included, $66): www.ikea.com/us/en/p/maximera-drawer-low-white-90265661/ and coordinating 36” UTRUSTA hidden drawer front ($21): www.ikea.com/us/en/p/utrusta-drawer-front-low-00265627/ The link in the pinned comment is for a 15” wide 24” deep drawer at $30. The nominal measurements of these parts refer to the IKEA SEKTION cabinet frames that they fit in (actual measurements are a little smaller and are listed in the links).
The slides are sold as spares, just look up the part numbers in the assembly document. However the whole drawer is sold as a 30" or 36" kit in both 15" and 24" depths. Drawer fronts intended for for inner drawers are sold in 3.875", 6.5", and 8.375" heights in addition to the usual drawers meant for externally visible drawers. Some combo of the pre-drilled holes should allow you to mount an inner drawer pretty close to the bottom of the cabinet.
Wow!!! Jason... that was one of the BEST how to videos I have ever watched!!! The detail and close up on exactly what you need to do and see was absolutely amazing!!! Also loved that you don't make silly idle chit chat about useless information. Thank you!!!!
Thanks, Jason. Your video showed me how to remove the IKEA slide out drawer that I had under the sink. I searched on RU-vid for other videos, but only yours showed the simple method of removing the drawer.
So, for me, I don’t always look at cost only. Sometimes I do. But I’m most cases, I try to balance other criteria. For this project, I wanted some high quality slides, and these slides from this old cabinet usually cost a lot more, compared to the cheap ones at the big box stores.
Awfully EXPENSIVE method. All you got was the DRAWER SLIDES ($15.00-ish?) and still didn't have a BACK. Build the drawer and slides...and voila....done.
I actually didn’t know that the drawer slides could be purchased separately until someone in the community sent me the link. 👍 www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30265659/ The slides are $30-45 depending on the size. Since the cabinet I bought from IKEA’s discount section came with 4 pairs of slides, it ended up being a pretty good deal. Especially since I used the cabinet box as a tool stand in my garage. I actually got to repurpose the entire cabinet!😆
this video is precious for showing step by step on how to, plus some really neat ideas, if you find yourself in need. i could not imagine building drawer from scratch, by modifying existing ikea furniture, that i end up having bunch lying around, and repurpose them gives me pleasure :) or reuse, recycle.
Jason Garringer and some people don’t have the means to build a drawer to look good and be stable. The people that can probably don’t need to watch this.
This was the BEST video I've found on youtube for floating shelves! The way you speak, the way you explain, makes me feel very confident I can do this! thank you so much! I liked and subscribed! 5:19
Cool enough hack but the dado for the drawer slide just turned this project into something not possible for 95% of the population. I'd just get a drawer that approximately fit the width of my cabinet and attach a 1 x 2 on each side with pocket screws to base of cabinet in order to attach glides and be done with it. You could even do two drawers of different sizes in order to maximize the space underneath. Good inspiration and gave me a couple ideas.
Very nicely done. How did you get the drawer off the rails? I have been looking but haven’t fount anything that deals with the current design like you have.
IKEA, as far as I know, doesn’t give a guide, and drawer removal from the rails isn’t intuitive, unfortunately. I’ve found that if you lift the drawer as you’re extending it, you will feel it release from the rail partially. Then, with a little wiggling, it will come off. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!!
Hi there. What a great video! I’ve always wanted to do something like this but always doubted with the outcome. Can I ask if you could provide the measurements for the bottom slide of the drawer? Especially the straight hole that slide into the sides of the drawer. Cheers
Hi Fazwan, thanks for watching! I plan on doing a follow up video with more details and measurements very soon. I’ll try and get you those measurements now, but I’m a little confused with what you need. Could you possibly screenshot the video and point to the area that you want me to measure?
Brilliant. Would love to do this but I’m guessing you need a router to make the notch to slide plywood onto sliders and a table saw. I just don’t have the right tools.
I’m so impressed! Now that we live close to IKEA, I am going to be doing some projects that my sweet hubby doesn’t have time for. I can hardly refrain my giddiness! Thanks so much!
www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50265663/ Hi thanks for watching. My clearance purchase came with 4 pairs of track. Buying the track separately would cost $160.
Brilliant idea! I like how you got the camera in super close so we can really see what you're doing. Other sites on various topics will be going, "so, you can see here what I'm doing......." and I'm like, "No, I CAN'T ". But you had excellent camera angles!
Did you use the other parts of the IKEA drawers for other projects? If not, that's a very expensive drawer! $125 for drawer slides and you still had to supply the bottom piece?
Actually you are the ONLY person in the comments here who recognized that I have all those other parts to use for other projects. I’m actually making a video right now comparing the cost, speed and ease of building it from Home Depot materials vs. doing it with repurposed IKEA parts. So be on the lookout 👀 for that video if you’re interested! Thanks again for watching!
There are wayyyy cheaper ways to do this. You’ve done pretty much all of the work anyway. And use real wood. It’s under a sink. If that stuff gets wet it will disintegrate.
Yes, it has a manual on/off switch on the wall near the sink, and it’s to be switched on when food waste blocks the drain. We call it a “disposal” or “garbage disposal.”
Love the idea! I have just one question. The new bottom needs these 'indetations' so the sides can slide in. How can I do that without fancy equipment? 4:01
Because of the way IKEA designs the drawer glides, there’s no way to modify them (no way to shorten them.) you will need to buy shorter glides and let your drawer bottom extend out the back a little bit.
These slider parts alone are available for purchase, but I found out later that purchasing these sliders separately would cost about as much as buying this clearance item. (My item came with 4 sets of sliders.) Plus, I was needing the cabinet box, too, for my shop, so that was a bonus for my needs. I think if you only need 1 set of sliders, it may be cheaper. Just make sure you don’t buy cheap sliders. The cheap ones don’t extend fully, and would not be ideal for this type of project. (When you’re pulling out from a lower cabinet, you need it to extend all the way out, not half way like the cheapest sliders.) Here’s a link to the proper sliders: www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30265659/
Each of the glides that I used were 1/2 inch thick. Two glides equals 1 inch. Therefore, I measured the width of the cabinet opening, and subtracted 1 inch. In this case the total width of my drawer Equals the width of the opening -1 inch
You may also want to account for any cabinet door hinges that could impair the drawer from sliding in and out. But basically you will measure the thickness of your drawer glides, and subtract that number from the total drawer opening. You may also want to subtract an extra 1/8 of an inch to provide a little extra clearance.
If I’m not mistaken at ikea if you go into the store the sliders are sold on the shelves but there not in the ikea book that comes in the mail .Also maybe home Depo might sell them.I haven’t seen the side pieces that hold on the front face of the drawer sold anywhere
+Debbie Larocque _Ohh that would be awesome if the do sell the sliders by themselves. I’ll have to check. Home Depot sells pretty good slides but they are the kind where you have to build your own drawer boxes, and then attach the slides.
It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ru-vid.comUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.
Thanks for this information. I’ll be tearing out an ikea kitchen next week and want to reuse the drawer hardware on another job I’m finishing this week. This will give me more than enough hardware to do a few projects.
Great repurposing video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 exactly what i was looking for - and fantastic work on making people’s heads explode - adding this to my wet bar tomorrow -
Your voice is so calming and your instructions are flawless. I love the tape tips, I work with my contractor father often and these will come in handy. Thanks!
Keep the videos coming ! I just subscribed !!! I want to revamp my kitchen and bathroom,maybe my bedroom closet as well ,double sided tape good idea ( smart ) Thank You
+PAUL CUSCHIERI _That’s a great point. It would be a bad idea to spend that much money on it. The cabinet actually came with 4 drawer slides, and I’ll be using the cabinet box out in my garage as a stand for one of my power tools. I’ll be posting a new video this weekend where I️ use one of the other drawer slides to install a pull out drawer in the pantry. Thanks for watching Paul!
Yeah it's a add on piece. www.richelieu.com/us/en/category/hinges-slides-and-opening-systems/slides/parts-and-accessories-for-box-systems-and-slides/motion-accessories/blumotion-for-metabox/1051180/sku-Z700320
nevermindthebollocks That link to Richelieu is good, but they require a minimum order of 10 on the drawer slides, so this Ikea hack is still a valid option.
Hardly a genius. He spent $125 on $15 worth of drawer slides. He obviously has some type of table saw since he cut out the bottom and the front plate. All he had to do was build his own drawer, which would have cost between $25 and $50 in wood depending on the type of wood he wanted. This dude obviously has more money than sense
$125 for a pair of drawer slides? You apparently have more money than sense! It's obvious you have a table saw since you cut the bottom and drawer front. Just cut the side walls (and a back) and save yourself $$!
Thanks for the advice, but I live in a 750 sq ft. high rise appt - I'm always looking for cheats to make more room. But, unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a place to set up all my power tools!! Any ideas what I can do with s screwdriver and a tape measure? LOL - but true!!
Me, this video is a lifesaver, I have the drawers but need a drawer front that is 20 inches high. The ikea drawer fronts are at the tallest 15 inches. I was this close to throwing the whole damn project out the window then I found this video. It costs $0.00 to not be a jerk to someone that took time out of there day to help another person, even if it’s just one.
