In this article, we will discuss the steps necessary to install your Everbilt Undermount Drawer Slides quickly and easily.
Step 1: Measure and Mark
The first step in installing your Everbilt Undermount Drawer Slides is to measure and mark the location for the slides. Place the drawer in the opening and mark the slide locations. Make sure to measure from the side of the drawer, not the front. If you are installing multiple slides, make sure to measure and mark the locations for each slide. Make sure to leave some space between the slides and the side of the drawer.
Step 2: Attach the Slides
The next step is to attach the slides to the drawer and the cabinet. Make sure the slides are securely fastened to the drawer and the cabinet. Use the included mounting hardware to attach the slides to the drawer. Make sure the slides are level and securely fastened to the cabinet. You may need to adjust the mounting holes to ensure a snug fit.
Step 3: Adjust the Slides
Once the slides have been attached, you need to adjust them to ensure a smooth, low-friction operation. Start by adjusting the height of the slides. Make sure the slides are level and that the bottom of the drawer is level with the cabinet opening. Next, adjust the tension of the slides. Make sure the slides are not too loose or too tight. You may need to adjust the tension a few times to get the slides to operate smoothly.
Step 4: Test the Slides
Once the slides have been adjusted, it is time to test them. Open and close the drawer several times to ensure the slides are operating smoothly. Make sure the drawer opens and closes without any sticking or binding. If you find any sticking or binding, adjust the tension of the slides until the drawer operates smoothly.
Step 5: Install the Drawer Front
The final step is to install the drawer front. Place the drawer front onto the drawer and make sure it is level. Use the included screws to secure the drawer front to the drawer. Make sure the drawer front is flush with the cabinet opening. Once the drawer front is installed, your Everbilt Undermount Drawer Slides are ready to use.
