Drawers are one of the exceptional addition to the kitchen area which can be very helpful in storing a lot of useful kitchen items, thus making the kitchen area look neat & clean. Modern kitchen drawers have an amazing feature included with them, that is, the drawers come with self-closing glides, which means that the drawers will always be closed nicely & elegantly instead of half-open. Self-close glides will help thwart your cabinet drawers from shutting loudly, maintaining the life of the drawer as well as the finish on the cabinetry. This feature of the drawer will also keep down or lessen the noise of drawers when are shutting them. When you look at the drawers with self-closing glides from the outside, these drawers will exactly look like any other type of drawer, you will not find out any difference. One of the best things about drawers with self-closing glides, that makes them more popular, is that a drawer isn't closed all the way. This is where the self-closing glides will have an effect and help to finish the job of shutting the drawer.
Proper Procedure Of Removing Drawers With Self-closing Glides
For the purpose of repairing a bad drawer or replacing it, you can easily take out the drawers with self-closing guides. In order to remove the drawers with self-closing glides, go through the below-mentioned steps carefully & achieve the desired result of your work:
- First of all, you need to open the drawer and take it out as far as you possibly can. Take off everything that is stored inside the drawer and set them aside.
- Now, focus on the side of the drawer glides for retention screws or clips. Some of the self-closing guides use these in order to take hold of the drawer in place on the gliding tracks. Unfasten the screws with the help of a screwdriver. Then, remove the clips with the help of a pair of needle-nose pliers.
- After that, it is extremely important that the drawer is caused to last longer to the fully open position. Remove the front of the drawer.
- While you are removing the front of the drawer, pull it forward. Now, you will be able to notice the drawer rollers glide through & across the self-glide tracks.
- As soon as the back of the drawer has been removed from the cabinet, remove it off the tracks as well. Remove the self-closing door tracks, if you want, by unfastening the screws taking hold of them in place inside the cabinet with the help of a screwdriver or power drill and screwdriver attachment.
