How to add drawers to kitchen cabinets?

Everyone, regardless of ability level, can perform the DIY task of installing new kitchen drawers. Perhaps your new kitchen cabinets have just been installed, and now it's time to put the final changes with new kitchen drawers. Or maybe you just need to buy a new drawer to fix the broken one. Let me tell you first how to add drawers to kitchen cabinets.

How to add drawers to a cabinet? - Side Mount:

• You need to identify the side of the drawer's midsection and highlight it. 

• Next, draw a level line across the cabinet's edge using a sharp object. Continue on the opposite side of the drawer.

• Use the line as a reference to position the drawer slide in the middle. Locate the screw holes and mark them. 

• Remove the marks, and then drill holes where they were. Put the drawer slide connection in place and continue on the opposite side.

• Take a measurement of the drawer opening's height on one side and determine the centre.

• Install the cabinet slide, then use a level to adjust until level. Mark the screw holes once it is level and continue on the opposite side.

• If you want to attach screws, drill pilot holes. Install mounting screws after positioning the cabinet slide.

• Ensure that mounting screws don't extend past the cabinet wall's width.

• Align the drawer so that the rollers are at the proper angle and place the drawer in place with ease. 

• Gently open and close the drawer multiple times to test it. The drawer must move freely but shouldn't be dragged out of the cabinet.

Guide to add drawers to kitchen cabinets - Under-Mount:

• You must first decide where the cabinet slide will be mounted. Install the slide guide with the frame in the cabinet, then use a level to make sure it's level. 

• Mark the screw holes once they are level. Before screwing the bracket in place, drill pilot holes.

• Position the under-mount clips on the drawer's base and label the screw holes. 

• Drill pilot holes, then fasten the clips with screws. You can remove the drawer as necessary by using these clips, which will attach to the slide.

• Place the slide on the bracket that is already there and mount it to the cabinet's side. 

• It could be easier to turn the screws in with the bracket in place, you can make the pilot holes. While you operate, the bracket will keep the slide in place.

• Gently place the drawer onto the slide at the proper angle. Open and close the door to check for a smooth slide and secure equipment installation.
