Introdução

Drawers are very important items in a household. They are used for holding various items. Overtime, drawers can become old and worn down. This leads them to stop working properly, jamming or not closing and opening smoothly.

This guide will show you how to replace metal drawer slides, specifically on a coffee table.

IMPORTANT! Before proceeding:

  1. Make sure to measure the old drawer slides and the drawer insertion to have the correct size for the new metal drawer slides
  2. Make sure to have the correct size screwdriver and/or drill bit/bits

Replacing drawer slides is an easy and effective process. This can save people time and money instead of replacing the whole drawer itself or a whole item that contains a drawer.
