Separate the two main components of each drawer slide: the cabinet member and the drawer member. Mark the desired height for each drawer's slide on the interior cabinet walls, using your planning from Step 2. Using a drill, pre-drill pilot holes at these marks. Carefully align the cabinet members of the slides, ensuring they are perfectly level and parallel to each other and perpendicular to the cabinet opening. Use a level and a spacer block (if installing multiple drawers at consistent heights) for accuracy. Secure the slides to the cabinet walls using the provided screws.
