What happens in this clip
Once both sets of slides are installed in the cabinet, it's time to insert the assembled pull-outs. Simply align the pull-out with its respective slides and gently push it in until it engages. This is where the careful measurements and calculations pay off, ensuring a smooth and functional fit.
About the full video
This project guides through the process of installing pull-out shelves with drawer slides in custom cabinets to enhance storage efficiency and ergonomics. It covers measuring the cabinet, designing the pull-outs, calculating dimensions, preparing a cut list, cutting and edge banding the melamine pieces, assembling the pull-out boxes, installing full-extension drawer slides, and finally, installing the completed pull-outs into existing kitchen cabinets using spacer strips for a precise fit.
Step 6 of 7: Install Storage Units
Carefully slide the assembled drawers or pull-out carts into their designated positions. If they are built-in, you may need to secure them to the floor or wall framing using screws. For drawer slides that attach to the frame, ensure they are aligned correctly before screwing them in place. Test the movement of each unit to ensure it operates smoothly.
