Free downloadable instructions for pull out cabinet drawers

I saw these on your IG and immediately started scheming where they'd go in my kitchen. My wife got a garbage can she liked, but the kids broke the top, so maybe this will please her! Very well done Instructable, but I particularly like it because it illustrates just how easy sliding drawer features are to add to cabinetry as opposed to spending an egregious amount on a kit at a big box store.

Nice project. I've been putting almost this exact same setup in the kitchen's I remodel for years. It's so much better than those metal kits you can buy. Take this in the spirit in which it's intended, I'm just sharing my experience. The only thing I've run into problems with is the weight over time. I've been called back to customers homes to replace the slides on multiple occasions because the mini bearings start to go out. I've started using slides rated for more weight and haven't been called back to one.

Just a little stronger. Again, awesome project. Thanks for sharing. I considered going up from the lb rating to the lb rating, but the slides were twice as much go figure. If they do fail then I'll make the upgrade like you said and it should be seamless. Thanks for the feedback!

Why did you not screw the top maple face from the sides with your pocket screws jig? Other than that, this is an excellent Instuctable with lots of great tips. AlfieE2 4 years ago.

The opening allows for some slight adjustments to be made. Next, insert and screw in the wood screws provided. TIP — Do not tighten the screws all the way in at this point. Wait until you have all four inserted and make your adjustments to get the frame straight. Then tighten down all four screws.

After the frame is installed, lay the basket on top so that the four screw holes are aligned with the top frame holes. To install the screws at the back, slide the basket forward to make it easier to reach. NOTE — On a few occasions, I have found that the very last screw will be a little stubborn because of the design of the screws used for this product. It is not a big deal, but you may require someone to pull and hold the basket into alignment while you attach the last screw.

You will need to insert or add a shim beneath the location where the frame will attach. To make the installation easier, I attached the glide frame to the 1x3 boards first. Then, using wood screws, I screwed it in place through the strips and into the bottom of the cabinet. FYI — You can get these pullouts here!
