Drawer Slide Telescopic
Step-By-Step: How I Install Drawer Slides
1. Prepare the Cabinet
preparing the cabinet for drawer slide
Avoid drawers over 3 feet wide - as drawers will get wobbly as they slide, and may sag when too large.
Make sure the cabinet is "square" on the inside - meaning the interior of the cabinet is NOT a trapezoid or parallelogram shape.
If installing directly to the cabinet insides, look out for any cupping of the cabinet sides, where the drawer might get pinched as it slides in - this is especially common when solid wood is used to build the cabinet, and the 1x12s boards (or similar) warp and cup inward or outward.
If the cabinet has a face frame, legs that go all the way up, or other detail that will keep the drawer slide from sliding out the front, fur out the inside of the cabinet. You do NOT need to fully support the drawer slide so the entire inside of cabinet does NOT need to be built inward.
If furring out the cabinet interior, make sure the furring strips are located where your drawer slides can be screwed to them.
