Just the information is worth hundreds of dollars. I have spent so much time and energy trying to fix my dresser, which is irreplaceable, literally. The place I bought it from has closed since, and it's impossible to find another one that would fit in the space that I have! It has ball bearing mechanism and I was struggling to get the drawers out coz the slides had come lose. After I chanced upon this video, I was able to fix the whole thing in less than half-an-hour. Thank you so much!
Wonderful, clearly demonstrated video. Junk was stuck under my under-the-counter spice rack and I couldn't figure out how to get the drawer out. Afraid I would break something. So I Googled "how to remove a spice rack" and found this. It absolutely helped!! The mess beneath has been removed, drawers cleaned and ready to roll again! Thanks so much!
Thank you so very, very much. Your simple explanation allowed me to replace drawer that had fallen out while traveling with my travel trailer. Would have been a real pain going without this drawer as it's located below the stove...large skillet and similar storage... and really helps to keep things organized; especially in a small space.
God bless you mister! Last weekend your video helped me remove side railed drawers- now today I fixed a draw with an under rail that was falling for weeks every time we opened it- turns out one rail had retracted, I pulled it out and re engaged it to that locking mechanism you described🙏🙏🙏🥰
I had bought a little something for my mother which was stuck behind my drawer and I was struggling with it for an hour. I watched this video and it took a second to pull the drawer out and retrieve the gift!
Thank you so much for this video!!🙆
You’re awesome! Was literally just trying to take the drawer out and I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me! You saved the day! Thank you!
Thank you so much! After tugging at drawers for twenty minutes, I found your video and fished out the item that fell behind in seconds.
Thanks very much for this tutorial; I had a drawer that wouldn't close because things had fallen out over the back. The exquisite irony is that among the bits and pieces I retrieved were the printed instructions on how to do exactly this. :-)
Thank you SO much. Just like everyone else, I was having trouble with a drawer and had trouble simply removing it. Whenever you buy furniture, they should show you how to remove the drawers, so you can maintain or repair your investment. Instead, it’s “Buy the warranty, then if you have ANY problem, we’ll just replace it!” Like I want to do all that for a sticky drawer. Such a disposable mindset nowadays. Miss Fix-it of my household and I really appreciate this helpful video.
Had my headphones stuck in between the slider for months and gave up on taking it out. Who knew all i had to do was tilt my drawer up to get a better look and now I have my headphones back. I don't know whether I'm disappointed in myself or happy that I learned something new. Probably both.
Thank you! This helped me fix my drawer at work and get it lockable again within three minutes!
Thank you for the very practical and easy DIY tips! These help one to tackle the problem and fix it without having to analyze each drawer's intricacies, build, functions, etc.!! Coert mommsen South Africa
Excellent video, short and just enough information to get the work done in a flash!
We purchased new bedroom furniture an item that was inside the drawer fell behind and then the drawer wouldn't close properly. My hand although small was not able to reach the item. I watched this very professional video and in a second I was able to pull the drawer out and retrieve the item from behind the drawer. Thank you for offering this Drawer Slide Tutorial...It was a piece of cake.
Thank you so much I got stuck on a ikea Erik file cabinet and watched your video and managed to sort it out! Life saver
Thank you sooooo much!!!!!! my cabinet was too full and some items just fell to the bottom of the cabinet through the gap between the shelves! I was afraid i dare not pull it out by force in case i would damage the cabinet! was so worried!! Thank you so much again!! items retrieved and cabinet still functions well!!!
And your explanation is very clear and easy to follow!!!!
Beautifully illustrated and explained...easy to follow instructions.
Super Helpful. Push one side lever down and the other up... Crazy. Thank you!
Wenz Wenzel Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!!!!! A step-by-step on how to remove the drawer and put it back. You made my day!
Thank you! You're a livesaver.
Thank you so much, I have been struggling to fix my drawer for weeks. Turns out there was just a screw stuck in the slider 😂
P
Somebody buy this guy a round. What a champ.
Thanks for the clue and guidance. I fixed the shelf myself with so much ease.👏
Thank you so much. You just saved my life 😊 This is so helpful
Thanks so much for posting that information. It's extremely helpful. I must check out your store/website!
God bless you. I've been fiddling with this drawer for half an hour getting no where, took ten seconds after this video
Thankyou so much. That was very helpful. U just got my 1 year of hard work fixed in one minute
The KV 8450 soft close slides are great but it can be frustrating to get the drawer back in. The ball bearing cage has to be moved as far forward as possible (I find an awl helpful), and even then judicious pressure has to be used when the drawer is reinstalled to get it to work. Even with practice I still spend a few minutes on reinstalling a drawer.
TH-cam is a wonderful thing.It's counter-intuitive to press down on one side, and push up on the other.Thanks for saving my bacon.
Took longer to find this great video than to fix slide which had been misaligned...TKS!
Fantastic, thanks. I was flipping the steps on both side in the same direction
Thanks now I can finally clean my dirty make up drawer I can’t believe this is posible you saved my life
This video is there for me every time I need it. Thanks
Thank you! I can finally remove my drawers from the kitchen cabinet and fix them myself after 2 years of asking the hubby to fix it....
👍👍👍
Thank you so much, this was exactly what I needed!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤
Thank you for your easy explanation, get my things out in few minutes 🤩
your videos are very good and have a wide message thank you
Super quick to open the drawer after your instruction.👍
Thank you so much finally after 30 mins of struggle I fixed my drawer
Thank you for the tutorial. It helped in time.
Alot of thanks to you...you save me from a problem.
I had something fall off my spice cabinet, and it wouldn't shut all the way. Couldn't figure out how to get it open until I saw 0:47 with the orange clips, which is what we have. A simple movement of the clips and the cabinet drawer was off and I could grab the little spice bottle that fell off the rack preventing it from closing all the way. Thank you for showing this....was driving me crazy for a while.
I also see your video only 3second .and i try ,its open .i'm so happy now .its too helpful
Thank you! Great, simple explanation!
Damn that was easy! Thank you so much!

You're a life saver sir!
So simple but there’s no way I ever would have figured it out. Thanks so much for making the video!
Thanks very much Rockler.
😂 it took me seconds after watching your video. I was like how to open it
Same here bro hahaha
I just made drawers with slides. I used the Euro white wheel slides (cheapest) first. Many were fine but some were terrible. I found that using these slides your measurements have to be exact or they won’t work right. Later I replaced some with the more expensive ball bearing slides which are superior and have some adjustment ability due to metal side tabs which can be bent. Next step would have been buying the ball type sold by IKEA which are reasonably priced.
Thanku for the information that is very helpful for me 🙂 thanks again.
Awesome I was able to remove my stove draw with your tip.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou... This is lifesaving
Wonderful. Thanks for the information.
Omg thank you, I've only watched 34seconds of this video and already I have the drawer out. I've been struggling for months and months...let me continue watching just for vibes lol

Thank u. It was very helpful.
Another day, another google search helped me. xD Thx for the video it was very useful!
Thank you very much Sir, it helped me
Thank you so much for the lovely information..
قسم بالله انك كفو الله يعطيك العافيه
i had mine the wrong way round since watching this vid solved my issue
Thank you so much for this video
I have the slider ones on a 13, year old dresser but they will not shut I've tried everything they simply stay ALL the way open.
What if squeezing these plastic clips still does not allow the drawer to come out? one side feels like it might come out but the other side stays locked even though the clip moved.
Thank you very much, that was helpful
Worked like a charm
I bought a second hand wooden 2 drawer file cabinet. When you're facing the cabinet, on both drawers, the left side is able to start opening but the right side isn't opening. It has the silver ball bearing slides. I don't think anything is jammed in either drawer but something isn't allowing the right side to open more than ¼ of an inch. There's no lock so that isn't the cause.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

So glad the video was helpful!
Thankyou so much, I found my passport by opening the drawer
HI, does anyone know where I can get a replacement ball bearing slide with the clicking mechanism. One of the slides in my drawer is broken, and I would love to replace it

Very helpful! Thank you.
my mom has a desk with a cabinet on the side. it has a typewriter shelf that swings out and up supported by arms that have springs at the back (not sure what the springs do). I pulled the shelf out and up, and it seemed to kind of lock. Now I can't figure out how to get it back, as it seems to have kind of locked. any ideas?
