Based on your recommendation, I bought a set of Kreg jigs. I installed slides for three drawers and then realized that none of the slides were level. They all tilted downward inside the cabinet. One of them was badly out of level. The jigs were not level. Have you heard of this problem before? Any solutions or suggestions?

The plastic brackets always break over time

Very nice great explanation and demo

Great video-thanks! Do you have a link to the white brackets at the back of the slide?

Stumbled onto this video while researching different slides. Had not seen the Kreg jig before.........road trip to the nearest HD that has it in stock this morning. Thank you!

Easy way to install. Great job

Thanks for doing a demo with a "no so perfect" cabinet. It helped me understand the utter frustration I was experiencing in being so perfect with my measurements, only to now realize the box itself ain't so perfect to begin with and how to work with it! Great video! Thanks!

Seeing how you would attach the outside glide if it has a frame on the front of the cabinet. I'm going to add a block to flush out the side wall to screw the slide to.or is the bracket enough?

Outstanding! This is by far the simplest approach I've seen re: installing soft close drawer slides. Rather than making up the blocks, jigs, and shims, you have used specialty tools and parts that greatly simplified the process. That said, the only reason the Kreg blocks were able to be used was because the cabinet face was plumb and therefore the blocks provided a precise 90 degree base for everything else. I mention this because unless the woodworker or contractor checks the face for square and plumb and checks the top for level, then the procedure shown may not work 100%. Thank you for using a cabinet that wasn't square and showing an easy way to address the front to back taper without making shims! There are other common issues when retrofitting drawers and you mentioned a few. Will you be doing videos that show how you address these situations? Again, this is the best video I've seen and I wanted to thank you for the high quality of the video instructions and the list of parts and tools used.

Try helpful. Love the drawer jig bracket idea. Game changer

Brilliant video, and I’m a carpenter for 35 years 😊, nice job and you’re as cool as a breeze, no drama 😉

Do you have a link to the bracket glide (triangle) piece you used?

Thank you for this video. I was ready to send back the Kreg support items and find a vendor to help me do the work, but your video is motivating me to give it another shot, using your instructions. Cheers!

Thank you! Wish I had found this video last year when I installed pull outs in base cabinets. After much struggle I realized the cabinets weren’t square, so all the other DIY videos left out crucial information about how to compensate. I didn’t use face frame sockets, so I used boards with shims where needed to build up a square frame to attach the slides to. A lot of work!

How do you put the jigs in for the bottom drawer? Doesn't seem like there is enough room. Or, do you do something else to get the space right?

Where you get the cabinet level tool at

Great demonstration. Now, I'm confident that I can tackle this project.

Dude you are so smart. I was educated but not intimidated. Thanks. I'll be watching more of your videos.

Awesome

Hello sir. I followed your excellent presentation and installed my self closing drawer. The only problem I have is when I pull the drawer , I have to apply a little bit force and after that is nice and smooth. It closes by itself. I am just concerned about the stiffness when I pull out the drawer. Is it supposed to be like that or I have done something wrong ? Please advice. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing

you just need a mic

Excelente video Tendrás algún vídeo en español? Muchas gracias

What if your cabinet measures deeper than drawers by several inches... How do we know what size slide to get? Go by drawer size or cabinet size?

THANK YOU!!! You just saved me around $20,000 :-) I can totally do this myself and keep my original doors and drawers. I never thought about just replacing just the slides.👍

Which slides did you use?

Thanks for this. Huge time saver!!

Fantastic. This is a perfect instruction video, didn't go to fast or too slow just showed how it's done and what tools you need. Great tips for unexpected situations also. Learn how to install drawer slides in 13 mins!

Thank you.

Great video! I know it probably depends on the brand of slides but have you ever had issues where the soft close drawer is very difficult to open? I think it's the soft close mechanism just trying to set itself but it seems very hard to open. Could it be something out of square or tilt on the slides maybe? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Nice job

Thank you!!! I'm retrofitting funky old built-in cabinets and this is exactly the instructional video I was l looking for!

An impact driver??? Eh 🤦

You did not address , that the inside width measurements of the drawer slides , needs to be equal to the width of the drawer slides .. , what would you do If the drawer side outside measurements were a 1/2 inch wider . So for example the inside measurements of the drawer slides is 15 3/4 and the drawer is 16 inches .

Well done. To the point and no sales pitch. You showed how to attach the rear of the slide when most don't come with support brackets for that application. Also appreciate the extra tips for proper alignment so it slides freely.

Thanks - exactly what I needed to retrofit an old kitchen drawer with new slides!

So if I'm understanding it right then you must make your drawer always smaller. Because you have still to connect the draw slider on the drawer so it fits together in the cabinet?

Great video

Ok , but what if you haven’t got the support brackets?

Loved the video. Made the install quite easy. You handled most of the "gotchas", but missed one that is probably common. My 35 year old "custom" cabinets have drawer openings only 1/4" wider than the drawer box! If they were wider than the amount needed for the slides to extend, a shim could be used. In my case, I think I need to cut a 3/8" slot in the face for the slides. Have I missed something easy?

I am not skilled in finish carpentry but this made easy work of a conversion project. I owe you a beer!

Excellent video. Unlike most that make every step simple and predictable as if everything works out perfect, this video shows you how to plan for the imperfections in the furniture you are working with and so, have the solution in advance. Good techniques too.

THIS IS SO AWEEEESOME! Thank you so much....

Thanks guys - this was very helpful. Good camera angles and solid info throughout. Took a challenging DIY job and made it doable.

Is there a recommended screw for installing the rear brackets as to not worry about blowing out the back? I’ll be installing this type of slide into my island.

Great job (tutorial) that was exactly what I needed to see. I’m installing the same rails on two drawers for a table saw cabinet I built. My first cabinet and my first drawer installation. I went online and ordered the set of keg brackets and another face clamp (already had one). I retired three years ago so it’s never too late to learn something. I also learned how to design in fusion 360. I’m sure you guys are doing a great job of teaching something similar. This was a big help for me. Thanks

👏👍

I am installing self closing drawer slides one side goes all the way in but the other side sticking out about 3/16 or 1/4 on the other side can u help me

Excellent video

Need to verify the Slide Bracket P/N you have linked above. Ordered the Prime-Line 7227 bracket from the link on Amazon and the bracket only has a 7/8" opening. The slide needs 1 3/4".
