In this video, I show you how to install drawer slides when some of your cabinet or drawer measurements aren't correct. I also show a feature that many drawer slides have that might not be very well known.
These drawers are on my miter saw station which I hope to have completed soon. Check back for a follow up video on that.

Just wanted to say that I have watched several drawer install videos, from many of the popular RUclips makers, and I found this one actually the most useful. I was putting drawers into my workbench, which didn't initially design for drawers, and this provided the simplest explanation of how to deal with the challenges of imprecise measurements in mounting. Simple instructions, no fancy jigs, just shim and mount. I know this video has been around a while, but it's still useful, ... thanks.
So good to see a video of someone running into a problem that any of us could come across and solving it. A lot of woodworking videos can make you feel like a dunce, seeing how problem-free these projects come together :)
When I saw 16 minutes compared to the other 5 minute videos, I thought there was going to be a lot of wasted time. But it was awesome because it felt like a mate was showing me how to do it, easy to follow and thorough.
Good job, mate!
I used to hate installing draw runners until I saw this video. Clear concise instructions that’s cut my install time by half. The tip on draw slide tab adjustment is priceless. Top man!
Thanks for that. Woodworking 35 yrs and always hit a wall when it came to drawer slides. I would just use wood rails that the drawers rested on. YT and guys like you have been a Godsend.
Enjoyed the video....your method of installation makes it SO much easier than having to "measure this, to measure that, to have it within 1/32 of this side and 1/4 of the other side..., etc." (LOL) ... Let the spacer blocks and the spacers between the drawers themselves do all the "calculating work" and just drill the holes to attach the glides!!!! Easy Peasy!!!! Thanks so much!
- Very clear, concise info, particularly re: the C/U shaped areas in the drawer guide. No one, even on my instruction sheet, has ever mentioned it.
Thank you so very much for video. I am putting a pantry together and was stuck when it came to the drawers. I shouldn't have taken on such a big project ....I'm 77 yrs young and should remember that it's harder to do the things I used to when I was younger. Determined to finish it. Thanks for your help!
So glad I used valuable time watching this vid before I installed some drawers...I saw zero instructions stating what these tabs were for...Thank you SIR!
This video was so helpful! I’m a senior woman attempting to put frames, doors and drawers in my kitchen cabinet boxes. I’ve made it to the point of installing the drawers but could not figure it out no matter how hard I tried or how many videos I watched. Your video made total sense and I am so grateful! Thank you!
Definitely the best video for this project. The fact you use your camera to your best advantage is very appreciated. This is the video on installing drawers that I am glad to say I'll use on my website. The others are good but this one's the best. - Toronto, Canada.
This is a great video! I just built some replacement drawers for a rental property I own and I haven't installed drawer slides yet. You do a great job of explaining the basics. Thank you for making this.
Just watched and realized how simple this solution was. I had the same issue yesterday, but shimmed the piece attached to the drawer, because I didn’t know about the tabs. I literally worked on one drawer for 2 hours before I gave up and went to other drawers. Slept on it and fixed it easily this morning. I was so surprised to see the difference 1/16th of an inch made on dimensions of drawers and slides. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for this tip! 8 drawers installed in no time ...
I was pretty respectful of the installation - with this method it was a no brainer!
Needed this video as I’m installing 40” pullout slides in an odd closet to turn into a pantry. I’m adding 4 sets of slides heavy duty slides 500lbs capacity not that my wife will load it but I don’t want to revisit the project due to weak slides. Your video also showed me how you made your drawers using Kreg tool. Love the simple details easy to follow. Thank you.
This is a very handy tips. I wish I'd seen this when I installed my drawer slides because I had exactly the same problem and shimmed. Never again.. :-)
Thanks.
I am so glad that I watched this. I have always dreaded building drawers. I have been shimming them or using washers to get them to operate properly. I just built 10 drawers today but have not installed them. You better believe I’m going to use those tabs. Good video
Great info and video. My husband hates to work with drawers and I think you've made it easier to understand the installaton process. Thank you!
I was alwasy wondering why there were so many holes and "options" for securing the slides. This was informative and helpful. Thanks!
Thank you! That made my life easier, I never knew that about the drawer slides. I'm dealing with that situation on a project now. Looking forward to fixing that tomorrow.
Even the instruction sheet that came with the slides I used did not mention the U-shaped tabs.
thank you. i just installed my first ever drawer slides for a battery depot in a hallway closet i made off what I learned from your video. Definitely will be referring back to this and excited to see your other videos. thank you
Very good question by C Muir and thank you very much Zimsjeep for the answer. That was the issue boggling my mind!
EXCELLENT tip on draw slide install, never new that. I’m building draws this week. Perfect timing!! Thanks
EXCELLENT video! Both of my previous attempts at making a cabinet with drawer were only moderately successful since the drawers were binding due to not being able to get the slides installed at just the right width to allow for smooth operation. But seeing your explanation of the tabs turned the light on for me! Good tips also about how to easily and evenly space your drawers vertically on one another. Thanks for posting!
THANK YOU! Been so aggravated trying to get a drawer into an armoire build! Going to the sp right now to do it!
Good explanation and helpful . I have built over 150 drawers and what I learned is to install the drawer slides on the gables before assembling the cabinet especially if you have under 20 inch wide drawers
For years draw slides was always a mystery to even seasoned cabinet guys. Your view was great Thanks Ray
This was an excellent video. Your chill approach to this is refreshing. Subscribed.
Thanks so much for explaining the usage of the drawer slider tab, learned so much from your video! Much appreciated!
Very straight forward, logical. You did not wave around your hand in some nonsensical manner like some people to in these types of videos. Very clear instructions!
OMG!!! I’ve been looking for a solution like this for months!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Priceless and timeless info on the tabs. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very simple video. Now I can look at this video over and over again until it sinks in. Otherwise I'm going to waste a lot of wood. Best video on draws on line Thanks a lot!! Mark
You’re welcome, thanks for the comment!!
You have no idea how much easier you have just made my life with this video!! (well, maybe you do, LOL) I had not idea about the tab function. Thanks for the video!!
I wanted you to know that your video helped immensely. I’m not a carpenter and definitely not a cabinet maker. With your tips I was successful. My wife is happy, so I’m happy. That U shaped tang thing is the bomb. Anyway, thanks again.
God bless you. This video just solved my newly bought work bench drawers problem. Why didn't I think about it in the first place? Thank you.
I just tried using slide sockets for the first time. What a PITA!!!! This will be my slides and method of installation in the future. Thank You for posting !!!!
Thanks, I’ve been using this method for a long time and it’s always worked and made my drawer installs a breeze!
Just saw your video. Great work! I've looked at several videos and none are as good as yours. I look for real guys who can make mistakes (like me, even with hours of design and prep). I learned a lot today. More confident now adding pull out shelves for the cabinet above the washer and dryer in the garage.
Thanks!
You’re welcome. Hope your project is going well!
Thank goodness I found your video. I am about to install drawers with slides. They came with a incomprehensible instruction sheet. I needed to know how to position the slide on the inside (flush or not) and I was worrying about the drawer dimensions. The secret of the tabs. I was trying to measure and cut the drawer width just perfectly and hope it was not too tight nor too loose. But now I see the tabs give you enough wiggle room. I was having nightmares about cutting shims the proper thickness and how to figure all that stuff out. Again thanks.
Pointing out the u shaped tabs functionality is a great tip, thanks for sharing.
Love the constant conversation and instruction that is intertwined in your video. It completely made sense to watch and gives a lot of confidence to a novice like me. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thanks buddy, one of the best I’ve seen on how to install drawers. Was going to buy a Kreg jig, but feel confident with this. Thanks again!
Was thinking same thing, for forthcoming job in daughters room,, but would only need for ,3 drawer's, bit more confident about installing myself,, cheers Mick 🇬🇧,,(Liverpool,,,E.F.C⚽🇬🇧
Thank you for highlighting the function of the U shaped tab on the slides. That's totally new to me.
soosai steven You’re welcome, thanks for the comment
What did you use for drawer fronts
thank you for a commonsense explanation of drawer installation and solving problems for small dimensional inaccuracies - really good video
Abasalutly great . I loved the information on the tabs. You really explained the fitting superbly. Many thanks Gerald UK
Thank you for the information. I was very frustrated with some sliding shelves I was installing that were binding. Your information about the mounting tabs was spot on and worked like a charm.well done.
Yes, it is an exciting video! It is wonderful to have that aha moment when you realize "That's what that is for!" Thank you!
Congratulations. I have seen dozens of videos on installing this type of drawer slides. You are the only one who does it right. No pencil marks, no expensive special aids, no inaccurate measurements.
In a few days I will make some drawers for my workshop (I am an amateur) and I will use your perfect method.
Good evening from Greece.
Thank you for this video. I was looking for a basic install on slides. Good stuff!!
Wish I would have watched this before I just finished 30 drawers and had to shim some and recess the slide on some to make them work. Thank you!
Man, that was perfect. I struggled for hours installing slides not knowing what the tabs were all about. Nothing in the instructions, either. I took your advice and my drawers went in as easy as yours. Than you for putting this video together.
Thanks for your simplicity!
Thank you! I have scratched my head for months trying to work out the drawer tolerance problem. The instructions on Everbilt are essentially useless. 1 inch is all they say. They don’t say “Don’t go over 1 inch by half the width of a mouses whisker.” I have a cruder analogy but... I planed the oversized drawers and used washers for the undersized. They also said put the slide on the drawer first. Your technique is so elegant.
Great tip! Will save me some heartache at the weekend thanks from the UK.
man those spacers for holding the slide in place was a great tip. thanks for the video!
That is a awesome tip about the slide tabs. I wish I would have watched this yesterday but at least I now know how to fix them.
The self correcting tabs were a great tip, nicely done.
I just wanna tell you that you kept me sane tonight I watched and tried three other videos to install these sliders yours was the only one that actually worked the first time. It’s a good thing no one was home because I was cursing like a sailor. And I don’t normally Curse The sliders I purchased didn’t have any instructions I bought them on Amazon in bulk I got 10 pairs for $66 I couldn’t beat the price . Thank you again for keeping me sane 👍🏻
You’re welcome, glad the video helped you. Off camera, I did a lot of cursing with this install as well. It’s helps with the thought process!
Jeez, I wish I had seen this video a week ago 😂. I adjusted all the drawer widths I built this week with washers as shims, a right pain in the pin feathers. Thanks for uploading the video, I still have more drawers to build and you have made it much easier for me to finish. 🎉
What a great video! Good tips and really liked your delivery not like reading a script. Thank you
Thanks so much, I have been struggling with my drawer glides, your video helped a lot.
I have seen many other videos installing drawers but yours is the best... Very easy to understand ....perfectly explained... Thanks very much sir
Thank you going out to my shop to fit slides now with confidence.
I have had the same brain fart a few times over the years and never even noticed those tabs before. That would've saved me alot of time if I knew that. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
The absolute BEST video description of how to install drawers. I think I’m almost brave enough to try my first drawer install thanks to you. Thanks!!
queelyte Go for it! Thanks for the comment
You just made my day! Yea, my drawer is not the proper width and the slider instructions don't even explain what those tabs are for! Thanks dude!
Fantastic video, woke up this morning wanting to do this and this was a massive help, thank you.
Damn, I wish I had seen this video about two years ago when I installed some soft-close drawers for a large set of built-ins in my daughter's room. I'm going to have to go back and see if I can get this to work. Nice tip, dude!
I enjoyed your video. A lot of good info that a layman such as myself certainly appreciates. Thank you.
You saved me so much work, Thank you!
Very helpful tutorial for a first-time drawer slide installer thank you very much
Excellent, clear, no wasted words thanks
Invaluable tip on the self adjusting feature. Glad I saw your video in time.
Thanks...hope it helps you on your future projects!
Thanks for the video. I'll be building some cabinets for the first time and your video is straight forward and easy to understand with all the information I need to get the job done. Thanks again!
Nice, good luck with the cabinet build!
Out f'n standing. How is this not in the instructions? True Legend. Thank you.
Thanks man. I have actually avoided using drawer hardware for some of the reasons you explain here. Very helpful
Good tutorial. Answered all my questions.
Great tips and glad I found this, I will put that knowledge to use right away. Your cabinets look great and now I am thinking I should have ordered self closing slides.
Thank you I never knew about the tabs and their function . Now I can make the drawers work on a dresser that I recently built . Thank you again and I just subscribed
Super helpful, the upload is much appreciated 👏👏👏
I was searching for tips for mounting these very slides, and also have about 1/8” to 3/16” to make up. The tip about the tabs was absolutely what I needed to see. I have watched so many videos about drawers the past few days, and this was by far the most useful to me. Thanks so much for posting it!
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it!
Cool deal. Learned a bit. I got a drawer slide project. Ok, i got it now. Thanks.
Thank you great tip. I have made a lot of shims over the years . THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
Extremely helpful for a novice like me doing his first install of drawer slides. Thank you!
Thanks!!
I have had my frustration with drawers. I really appreciate this video, it was very helpful.
Super slick!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing the tip on the slides. It was a blessing to find your video as the first search result and it solved my problem.
Great video. Clear and concise. The installation tips were excellent. Feeling confident with my future kitchen drawer project!
Thank you!! Good luck on your kitchen build!
Thank you. This is the best drawer slide video I have ever seen, just what I needed.
Thanks!
I built a cabinet with three drawers a few years back. The drawers have never operated smoothly to this day. I have never built another drawer because I could not understand what the problem was. I'm going to revisit the drawers now to see if this technique will resolve the problem. Fingers crossed this works because I really want to build other projects with drawers. I have not done so because I couldn't master this first little project. Thank you very much for your instructional video!
Excellent video. I’ve installed a lot of drawer slides and it has always been my Achilles heel. I would do it but it was time consuming for me. I’d always wondered why those slides were cut like that. You’re a lifesaver thanks for the informative video 👍
Thanks you…appreciate it 👍🏻
Great video. I have had trouble with slides and I will follow this exactly on my next cabinet. Thanks for the excellent info!
Thanks for the great video! I got some slides for a similar application and they didn't come with instructions. Your installation and tips were fantastic!
Simply brilliant!
Thanks for sharing.
Good video. Thanks. I look forward to the video on the miter saw station. What you've done so far looks great!
Jay Kepley Thanks, getting there. Hardest part was clearing space to build it
Loved the info on the tabs!! Planning on making a platform bed with drawer storage and that tip may come in handy! zimsjeep are you still going to post a video of the finished project?
great info about to tabs as I had to reinstall the drawer wall that the slides were mounted to and the drawers were binding so now i will remove the screws that were installed and put them in the U-shaped tabs, thanks again for the info.
As a beginner, I loved the detail explanation. Thanks for all the tid-bits!
Awesome!...and you’re welcome. You won’t be a beginner for long...easy stuff once you learn the tricks. Good luck with your project!!
Great tips! In the process of building my dresser, I'm also fine never building drawers again haha
Very handy, this will make my day thanks for sharing from mexico.
