How to Install Drawer Slides
Here’s how to assemble your drawer slides, according to Mallory Micetich, home expert at Angi.
- If you’re replacing old drawer slides, disassemble them by pulling the disconnect lever that’s usually located in the middle of the slide.
- Using a pencil and ruler, mark the areas on your drawers where you will install the slides.
- Line up the slides using the markings.
- Use a drill and the screws that came with the drawer slides to drill the slides into place.
- Reconnect the slides and screw them into place as necessary.
