Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Make sure you have a tidy and well-lit work area. Keep the space around your cabinet and drawers clear to facilitate the installation process. Arrange your tools and materials for easy access.
Step 2: Measure for Accurate Placement
Use your measuring tool to determine where the drawer slides will be installed. Mark the positions on both the drawer and the cabinet sides with a pencil or marker. Make sure the marks are level and consistent to ensure proper alignment.
Here are some tips for precise measurement:
1. Measure from the top of the cabinet and the bottom of the drawer to ensure the slides are installed at the same height.
2. Use a level or angle ruler to verify your marks are straight.
3. Using the marks and a straightedge, draw a level line across the wall on each inside wall of the cabinet.
Also, measure the dimensions of the drawer to select the appropriate slide rails, considering the space on the sides and bottom to ensure the installation does not affect the normal operation of the drawer.
Step 3:Drill the Bolt Holes
Place the slides on the drawer, confirm the bolt holes, adjust the hole positions, mark the holes, and drill the holes with a 6mm drill bit.
Step 4: Install the Cabinet Slides
According to the drilled holes, put the slides, make sure there is no problem with the installation. Remove the slides, put the slides inside the drawer to confirm the position, hit the screws. Align the hole just made, place the drawer on the slide rail, and tighten the bolt to complete the installation.
Step 5: Test the Drawer Functionality
Once the drawer is in place, open and close it several times to ensure it moves smoothly without jamming. If necessary, use an angle ruler or level to check the perpendicularity and parallelism of the slide rails and make fine adjustments.
