General Overview
Drawers that are usually constructed of wood need some support inside a cabinet or dresser. To pull the drawers from the dresser easily, makers need to attach some glides on its sides and on the bottom of the drawers. Makers usually attach tracks on the inner part of the cabinet. The drawer will fobble if the makers fit tracks loose and it will bind if fitted tight, or you can't open the drawer easily it will get hard while you open it. The glides are usually made up of wood, metal or of plastic. Cabinet makers still use wood but there is a big problem related to the wood as it expands or contracts when the humidity or weather condition changes. In high humidity your drawer can stick that is very difficult to remove. While on the another hand if the humidity level is low your glides fit very well even coating wax, soap, will help you to slide the drawer easily.
Easy Steps To Get Rid Of Drawers With Wood Glides
If the user want to remove or get rid of drawer but with the help of wood glides, then follow the below given steps carefully:
- Empty The Drawer: First of all, you have to partally empty your drawer. No need to remove everthing from the drawer. There are two reasons for making your drawer partially empty: first thing is the extra weight makes drawer hard to pull. Extra weight in your drawer will create friction betwixt the two i.e glides that are fitted in its sides and the drawer. Second reason is that a full drawer is very heavy to handle. You can drop it easily when you get some things out of it.
- Pull Straight Out: Secondly, pull the drawer straightly out. If there are two handles on it then apply equal force on both of them and pull it calmly and gently towards yourself. Drawers on which glides are fitted on its sides tend to slide more easily.
- Lift And Pull: Lift and pull the drawer if it stops. If you pull the force and the drawer is not able to come out then slightly lift the drawer upwards and pull forward towards yourself. These things happen when the stops are bumping into the back of the cabinet. Lift upward then pull forward and gentlty clear the cabinet frame. Some drawers have a natural stopping point. No need to worry you can pull it as far as you can.
