Kitchen drawer slider broke
What happens here
Align the drawer slider mechanism with the pre-drilled pilot holes. Using the cordless drill with a Phillips head attachment, drive the new, shorter wood screws into the marked locations on the side and bottom of the drawer's wooden frame. Ensure the slider mechanism is flush against the wood before tightening each screw. The countersink created by the pre-drilling will allow the screw heads to sit flush with the mechanism, providing a secure and aesthetically pleasing finish without splitting the wood.
Goal: Securely reattach the drawer slider mechanism.
