I would like to install 2 shallow cutlery drawers inside the cabinet, but because the cabinet has facing wood on the front, I'm trying to figure out how to install/fit the drawers in and attach them to something to hang from?? Might you have an idea or strategy, since your picture looks a bit like what I'm up against except the outer doors will cover any glaring mistakes. I also am kind of thrifty and try to make things work for me rather than replace. cheers, sandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700404627721037291.post-63103883831733864722013-06-23T10:29:41.620-07:002013-06-23T10:29:41.620-07:00I usually use four screws, but there are more slot...I usually use four screws, but there are more slots than that so you could use more. Screw length is determined by your drawer and carcass side thickness.

I do the planed applied front sometimes too, this technique allows me to repeat the settings after I dismantle the piece for finishing.Darnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380475230584627713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700404627721037291.post-57167951765851422872011-04-26T09:31:59.478-07:002011-04-26T09:31:59.478-07:00Very timely Darnell, I about to fit six drawers us...Very timely Darnell, I about to fit six drawers using Accuride runners, thanks for the tips.
