Take the tour ×  I've got some drawer slides I want to use in
some garage cabinets:  enter image description here  How can I
make sure I install them accurately so that the drawer fits
nicely and lines up right where I want it? If someone could
provide a clear, complete tutorial it would be a big help to me
and lots of other people.  share|improve this question add
comment  1 Answer  There are a few tricks to drawer slides. The
main things to get right are to make them parallel and co-planar
(same distance from the case bottom on the right and the left
side, as well as level front-to-back in the case). It helps if
your case is perfectly square, so really focus on that. You'll
want to determine your drawer width based on how thick the
slides are.  A good rule of thumb is to always try new drawer
hardware in a scrap case to get a feel for how it works. That
way you'll work out any issues and not-so-obvious dimensions
without having to fill in bad screw holes on your real project.
