drawer slide adjustment
I'm installing drawers using Accuride 4034 slides, a type where part
of the rail rides on top of, rather than nesting within, the rail that is secured to the case. I carefully laid out for the slides and installed them with the intent to get the drawers 1/4" recessed into the case. But each drawer came out a little different. They aren't recessed by the same amount, and one drawer front was twisted. (The top left is recessed a 1/8 and the bottom left recessed 1/4, or something like that.) I figured it should be easy enough to make some small adjustments to get the drawers to line up a little better. So for the drawer whose front wasn't lined up I changed the angle of its slide mounting to the case. But it seems that when I make this sort of change, I get unpredictable results. This change cause the drawer to twist in its opening so that the drawer front wouldn't even fit. The left side was too far forward so I slid its side back...but this had no effect at all. Does anybody have any tips on how to adjust drawer slides? |
