Simple drawer glides - is this a bad design?

Either by runners in the middle of the drawer sides (which can easily be sacrificial) running in a groove, or by a kicker above the drawer. My updated design: http://imgur.com/nfZd5UQ Thanks for your advice, everybody. If you want to keep them from being pulled out but still removeable, extend a portion of the back upwards so it will hit the horizontal stop in the frame when the drawer is all the way forward, then round over the bottom edge of the back, including the sides where they meet the back. Remove the drawer by lifting the front up until the extended back clears the stop. I don't like them but they used to make - probably still do - little plastic rollers for drawers like this. A pair of rollers was attached to the frame at the front so the drawer sides rolled on them, another pair on the drawer at the top back corners so that as the drawer was extended and tipped, those rollers contacted the "kick" and rolled on it. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder?

Same concept, but even simpler, quicker and easier way to insure a drawer pulls out only as far as you want it to: https://picasaweb.google.com/1113554...2 33476839170 To pull the drawer all the way out, simply reach in and turn the drawer stop a quarter turn. -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://www.google.com/+eWoodShop https://plus.google.com/+KarlCaillouet/posts http://www.custommade.com/by/ewoodshop/ KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |
