Glad it hit the mark for you. I've done a few more cabinets the same way and they have separate videos. When I searched, there were a lot of videos making a big deal about the wood working, but I went simple there, but still effective.
I installed new soft close slides on mine with rear mount brackets and my slides are quite literally hanging by a hair on those brackets. I am absolutely stumped on this
When you say hanging by a hair, are you saying that the bracket doesn't overlap the slide very much? If you measure from the front face of the cabinet to the back wall of the cabinet, what is that dimension? Could you put a block of wood on the back wall of the cabinet so that the bracket is closer to the front?
@@sengsational yea they were barely able to sit inside the bracket. I added spacers on the sides of the cabinets right behind the face frame and screwed the slides into those. A much easier solution rather than them being on the brackets
@@BuiltToBoost Yes, the brackets on the back wall are just one option for mounting. If you can get the slides preciously parallel using the spacers on the sides, that's a good solution.
The flat head screws they provide go into the slightly oversized holes in the slide, self centering and making the screw almost flush with the surface of the slide. I'd be concerned about substituting a screw with a different head since it could be proud of the surface, and possibly interfere with the slide mechanism. Not to say an alternate screw would definitely mess it up, but it could. Nothing wrong with the screws they provided.
Thank you!!!!! I watched so many videos and this is exactly what I was looking for!

Fyi, 7/16" modified pan head screws work well for this application as well as other uses
