How To - Fix Ball Bearing Strips on Drawer Slider

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2020
  • I recently received a piece of furniture that was damaged in transit, and all the interior drawers were misaligned, so the drawers fell out. I was able to fix the furniture to get the drawers re-aligned, but all the drawer sliders had popped off and their ball bears were no longer in one piece. I was finally able to figure out how to re-insert ball bearing strips into a drawer slider with ease. I hope this helps someone else who is looking to make the same fix/repair!

    You literally saved my life. My mom was cussing me out about how I broke this thing and because of your video I was able to fix it back thank you so much. You don’t know how much of a God sent you are. Thank you.

    Couldnt find instructions anywhere when I received a damaged product. This worked perfectly and saved me a lot of money trying to ship it back or get someone to repair! Thanks a million!

    I literally cannot thank you enough!!!!!! I tried forever today to figure this out, decided to buy new sliders, then thought….I bet someone on TH-cam can help me get those ball bearings back in. All fixed!!!!! Thank you!!!

    Thank you. I had no idea how to fix a broken slider and had wasted the best part of an hour trying different things. I was stumped. Five minutes after watching your video, the slider was fixed and installed.

    This was such an easy fix after seeing this video. I’d been messing around with this for half an hour without taking the entire piece apart. I decided to look up a fix on TH-cam. Very clear, simple instructions and great video. Well done! Thank you!

    Thanks! The metal drawer slide on my GE Freezer sliding drawer just came off and I used these instructions to put it back together! The bearing strips and the drawer slide for a freezer are assembled exactly the same way!

    You were the one that explained that I can put down the lock tab to extract or insert the slide. I searched in many videos and you were the ones. Thanks so much! I was afraid because that tab has like a security pinch, so I thought it was not possible to move.

  • @johnd4543
    @johnd4543 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the video. I figured I needed to bend the tab to slide the plastic slider and bearings in, pushing them down marked the rails -- so obviously not how it was put together originally. In my case, I needed to place the plastic slider and bearings on the inside of the outer bracket in order to push the inner bracket through since the bearings would fall off of the plastic sliders if placed on the outside. The holes on the slider were too big to hold the bearings in place.

    This was really helpful even though my sliders were a very different style. Conceptually confirmed what I thought and gave me the confidence to make a fix on my kitchen trash can drawer. Just to get a second opinion I was reading through a Reddit thread, and it coincidentally had a link to this video 🙂 Thanks!
