Step 6 · Install Drawer Slides on Drawer Boxes

Separate the inner and outer members of the drawer slides. Attach the inner member (the part that attaches to the drawer box) to the sides of each assembled drawer box. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the precise location for the slides, ensuring they are parallel to the bottom edge of the drawer and setback from the front edge according to the slide manufacturer's instructions. Pre-drill pilot holes and secure the slides with the provided screws.
