You might be the only guy on social media that when he says “quick tip” it’s actually 1.) Quick 2.) Done the right way and 3.) Actually REALLY helpful. Thank you for your attention to detail and ability to explain things well man! You’re awesome.
When his work van cabinetry looks better than my master bedroom closet :(
Been doing contractor work for a "LONG"time and your daily trouble fixes are worth everything, i am extremely mechanical minded but the simple aids to make your day go smoother are one more thing on my list of plenty.
Thanks for the mental help its one more thing to allow a small contractor chase important things like getting paid!😊
I built out my truck and was looking for a product online like this with no luck. this is a perfect solution!
Some of the best ideas are simple solutions such as this! The hard part is envisioning this when the plan is just a blank piece of paper. Thanks for sharing.
Been done for hundreds of years on boats...🤘
This guy is my favorite carpentry channels. He's fun to watch and instills confidence.
Your setup is perfect!!
That boy's a genius.
My boy reinvented the backyard door lock!
I'm a full time RVer. This is genius for RVs.
This is really smart. Thanks for sharing what you built. it should help me organize the chems in my pest control rig.
Simple is the most brilliant!
~ RESPECT ~ nice idea … luv it… my roads are a little rough at times… so seeing your creative idea ! so basic too ; to be nearly, bulletproof… luv it…
Spencer… awesome as always. 👍👍
This is flipping awesome 😮, I have a large mobile bench with tool drawers the still move, but after tomorrow. Nassity the mother of invention.
Nice design, simple, cost effective and easily repeatable.
Thanks for sharing, simple design brilliant idea.
Super common with boat builders. 🤘
Is amazing how simple some things can be but only when you see it already done. Coming up with this using only imagination is another matter.
I like it. I use a piece of 1x for mine, but I don't always remember. That's usually a bad day.
Great design !
Genius.
I love this setup I need something like this for my vivaro
Thank you so much Spencer!! I have drawers on my truck but was unsure of how to lock in when parked on an incline. Had considered mangetic catches or padbolts but this has a much simpler operation.
You should really patent this. Nice job brother 👌
Simple and effective..love it
I used to build out a lot of vans, I started using locking drawer slides. They have gone down substantially in cost. They have a built in lock lever and stainless steel slides. I also recommend through bolting the slides in.
Simple and brilliant.
Yeah boy that’s slick
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for Sheaing 👌👌👍👍
Genius
You magician you! 👏🏼👏🏼
VERY clever, Thanks man!
Very clever and best so simple
Great idea!!
Genius! I’ve watched forever and been so impressed with your carpentry skill but now I see it’s just general big brain syndrome! 🧠
🙋♂️THANKS SPENCER ,VERY CLEVER 🤗🧐💚💚💚
The way I drive, I'd need springs on those that hold them down lol.
Current setup is Adrian steel aftermarket shelves and drawers, but if I do end up using a wooden cabinet, I'll probably use this idea. Thanks, and cheers.
Great design !! You should patent it !!
This is awesome good thinking will keep it in mind
Thank you for the great idea!
That is slick!! Thank you
Mother of invention. Smart move man. 👍
Those are cool. Simple, cheap and super effective!
Simple and effective 😊
Super nice work!
Check out a simple sail boat's galley. It's got all kinds of gadgets like yours to keep things closed. RVs are another place to find these devices.
Nice idea and job.
I had a van and mounted 2 file cabinets that had glass doors that would cover the front of them when closed. To open them pull out the bottom and slide it up and back into a track at the top .
Keep your ideas coming and stay safe.
It’s like “child-proofing” the van. 🤣 I remember buying similar locks for my daughters decades ago. LOL. I’m sure they have something similar for the RVs.
GREAT idea .👍👍
Thanks for the knowledge
Good idea thanks for sharing
Nice idea!
Great idea
Great tip and thank you for sharing! I’ve been thinking of putting some drawers in my trailer and I’m going to definitely apply this!
Might want to get a patent on this one Spence🤘🏻
Nice job
Great idea I used butterfly catches and you're right it's something that you have to remember to latch them or it's very startling when the drawer opens up with a bang when it comes open and hits the end of it's run it's also hard on the hardware so thanks for the idea
Oh my goodness I have spent several hours over the last few weeks trying to find a way to latch my DIY cabinets and drawers without installing an expensive, fragile plastic latch.
Very clever !!!
I invented this 10 years ago! It’s called the drawer closer holdy thingy! You’ll be hearing from my lawyer!
Baby proofed your van , koodos 👍🏻
Good idea !
Neat I can see a low tension spring holding the arm down would assist in secure latching every time & help return after opening.
I have outfitted at least 50 vans over the years as a fleet guy. Most of the store-bought metal cabinets these days have a gravity latch that locks a series of drawers when you close them. That also allows for a single pad lock to secure several drawers if you send the van out for servicing. Still in all, I like the attention to detail here.
That's really cool. You should market that.
Well designed!
Awesome tip mate 👍
I think you’d like locking drawer slides.
Probably faster and easier... But could you make a video about that?
Brilliant!
Nice one!
I don’t have a work van but this idea is awesome 👏
Nice tip.
Genius👍🏼
Yeah that strapping only works that good cause the lay out ,nd machining on it was installed by someone who can see the end before the project starts.
Yes that's you guy! Keep posting ,I just found you in my feed. Enjoy your trick on trim in the dark.that was trueness.
Genius!
Very cool. And so simple!
Slick as hell. Copyright that quick and sell it to Forest River (owned by Birkshire Hathaway and owns 90% of RV manufacturing in the US)
Look at how boats do their drawers. Most just have a lip below and lift slightly.
Shark Tank. Put a royalty on that
Way cool idea
This could be useful for people who live in their van also.
No more loose silverware and underwares flying all over the highway every time you hit a bump on the road
You’re a genius. Very innovative. Much respect! 🫡
30 years ago my dad did something similar in his work van with gate latches. The receiver was set back from the front of the drawer face. He also had self closing drawer glides.
Very nice, thanks for sharing!!!
Ever think about getting the manufactured and putting them on sale 👍☘️🇮🇪👏
I wish I was that smart
GENIUS!!
That's something I have been looking for, thanks so much 👍👍👍
Maryland USA 🇺🇸
Perfect.
Thanks I'm gonna make the same
You should have that idea utilized as a useful product.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Simple and easy to use.
The overland crowd has something similar but integrated into the drawer slides themselves. Auto locking, nothing else to figure out, but this is definitely better if doing a retrofit to existing cabinets.
Nice!
I put a small spring on mine to lock the lever down with some tension.
Steel plate behind drawer on back of cabinet
Strong magnet on back of drawer
4 years and no issues and no rattling like you have
Looks like you could add a little weight or a spring above or below to make sure there is downward pressurpressure... other than that, j love this and will totally be stealing this to make my dad some drawers for tools or anything I want to keep raccoons and skunks out of
Smart 👍
❤ the short! Keep it up please
