YOU ARE A LOWER BACK SAVER! I stared at these drawers for days trying to figure it out. 5:05 gave me the "No way" moment. Thanks again sir!
LOL Glad it helped you Isaac!
OMG! You are amazing. This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched for a number of reasons. First of all, you covered so many different types of drawer latches so that people like me don't have to watch 5-6 videos until finally stumbling upon the right one. Next, no music, no extra blah, blah, blah - right to the point with such clarity & detail. You also don't assume prior knowledge and provide just the right amount of info to help the novice as well as the best DYIers. I also appreciate your genuineness as you struggled with the first drawer; which, BTW, is exactly like an old one that I just refinished). Last of all, thank you for taking the time to position your camera to capture what viewers really need to see in order to understand. So appreciative to people like you taking time to help others. Very grateful (obviously) LOL.
Thank you Mary glad to help you!
What a life saver, I could not figure it out for the life of me. Your voice was so reassuring, I thought ok I can do this . I did it awesome ! Thank you so much😊
@@lorrainemartinez8243 You're Welcome Lorraine!
Thank you
My granddaughter has been trying to get her bottom cabinet drawers out. I tried to give her suggestions over the phone; being that we are more than 300 miles away from each other. So I took TH-cam and your site came up and here we are. I'm not sure if any of these locking mechanisms are on her drawers but you have demonstrated enough of them that she should be able to figure out how to unlock her cabinet drawers.
Again thank you.
You're Welcome!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!😅 I struggled with my kitchen drawer for years until I finally googled TH-cam and found your video. I have those high end drawers with the handles underneath on each side and poof! Pulled the drawer out, tightened all my loose screws and I’m now good to go.
Awesome Barb that's great to hear!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was finally able to remove several drawers and rescue my mittens, bras, socks, and a straw hat that had gotten wedged behind my bottom drawers!!! A problem I'd had for years finally solved due to the clear info in your video! Again, thank you so much❤!
LOL Victoria! Sounds like you found so many clothes you may need a new dresser!
Thank you so much for making this video. I had spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure out this drawer. It has a red plastic piece on each side but I couldn't make it move to release the drawer. Turns out the drawer is like the last one and the drawer came off in a snap after sliding the two white pieces out. Appreciate your instruction. And now I know how to remove all sorts of drawers. 🙂
Thank you for this video. My pot drawer became locked with a pan's handle keeping it closed. No way to get in from the sides only a small opening above, but there was a smaller drawer above it. I watched your video and learned that I could push in the levers on the bottom front of the above cabinet. I pushed the 2 levers, pulled out the cabinet and was able to put my arm into the bottom cabinet and move the pan's handle out of the rolling mechanism.
You sir are a life saver with this video. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have earned a new subscriber. :)
Thank you Elizabeth! Glad to help you!
I want to say Thank You for your video! New cabinet drawer had broken rear mount brackets and this kept me from having to pay a repair man !! Bless You!!!
You're Welcome Judy!
Thank you for putting this video out there! Great title on the thumbnail. I chose your video just because of the title and I'm glad I did. It saved me from having to go through several videos to find what I'm looking for.
Glad it helped you!
Thanks for your help! You just made moving the dresser downstairs so much easier. Our dresser was a little different, but your guidance was key to figuring it out. Less grumbling in this house!
That's great! Less grumbling is always better
The handle under the drawer helped me with a Lowe’s vanity. Thank you!
Awesome-Glad it helped you!
Soft close drawers: you saved my day, thanks! The drawer was sitting in the floor for a week after several trials and I decided to lookup TH-cam and boom your video showed up
Awesome Matilda! Glad to help
Wow! Thank you so much! Just fixed my drawer with a centre track! Can’t thank you enough . Rita
Awesome! Glad to help you!
I knew every design had to have it's own justification, which is good because I didn't want to damge it. Thanks for the help. I happened to have the one at 3:00. I have never seen those before and other people said there was supposed to be a latch and that those where adjustments only and not for removal. Thanks again.
Glad to help!
Are you kidding me?!?! LOL!! I have always thought of myself of a pretty darn good handyman until it came to the drawer slide in my house. I seriously could not figure how to get the drawers removed to that I could realign them. I decided to TH-cam my dilemma and found your video! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND KNLOWLEGE!!
LOL You're welcome!
Thank you!!!! This was just what I needed to figure out how to remove my kitchen drawer, tighten the screws for the rails, stabilize the drawer & reinstall.
Welcome! Glad to help you
Thank you so much for covering so many different types!! I could not figure out how to remove the last type of pull-out drawer you covered in the video 😅
I could't figure out the vanity one at all. Must have spent half an hour trying to yank it out. I was ready to just smash the cabinet and replace completely!
Thank you very much!
LOL you're welcome!
Thanks Mike. Glad I found your video. Now I can remove any drawer in the house. Simple process once you know how to do it.
Glad I could help Ron!
Thanks for letting me post. I was able to solve this. It turned out that I have clips. If one side's clip tip points up you push up and push down if the other side's clip tip points down - push both at the same time and pull the drawer out until it unlocks. Thank you again.
Glad you figured it out!
Thank you so much for this video! Recently bought some new dressers for my fiance and I to have adequate storage, but couldn't figure out how to get the drawers out to be able to lift them upstairs until the section on the floating vanity/wall hung drawer section surprisingly. Thanks again!
You're welcome!
My dresser was similar to the first drawer you showed except for material of the guides which were metal instead of the plastic. Other than that it worked exactly as shown which was a big help in moving an otherwise heavy dresser, thanks!
Welcome!
My vanity drawers are the last type. This video saved me a lot of time and frustration, thanks Mike!
You're Welcome Nick!
Tysvm!! We moved into this rental, i could see "stuff" jammed into the back of the bottom kitchen drawer. I had no idea how to get it out. After using tongs, spatulas, and whatever long handle things i could find, imagine my surprise when i found this video. (I have the drawer with the orange handles) Easy once you know how. Again, thank you very much.❤
Awesome Robin, glad to help!
Awesome - you saved me a lot of aggravation with a bottom-slide kitchen drawer. And yes, I had to fetch something that fell behind the drawer...
That's funny! That's usually why people need to remove the drawer!
TY Mike i had a drawer that wouldn't close but I couldn't get it to come all the way out then I saw your video on the 1st drawer that you got to come out & it worked for me when got it all the way out it was some clothes that stuck that prevented it from closing all the way, now it closes all the way, thanks again, I did subscribe to you channel.
Glad to help-thank you!
Thank you very much Mike I was going bananas trying to figure out how to open these drawers but you shed a lot of light gracias senor
Glad to help you!
Thank you SO much I have been trying to get my spice drawer out (for 2 days) and thanks to you got it!!
Awesome-you're Welcome!
Thank you so much! You probably just kept me out of divorce court 😅, lol
LOL OK that just really made me laugh!
Something fell behind the drawer. This was very helpful. I've never had to remove a drawer. My first time removing a drawers 10 years after I install. Thank you -rb
You're welcome Rosetta!
Thank you! My dresser drawer has been off for a while and I feel kind of dumb now that it took me half a second to fix it after watching this but whatever it works again and that's all I care about!
Way to go CC! All that matters is that it works!
Potentially useful note/discovery: I have a desk drawer with a bottom wooden track, similar to the dresser drawer you show in the first section here. However, instead of having a stop at the back of the drawer, there is a little lever at the front of the... drawer hole? The cavity in which the drawer lives. So you need to pull the drawer out most of the way, stick something like a screwdriver or ruler into the gap to hold down the lever, and then pull the drawer the rest of the way out. This can be a two-person job since it's pretty tricky to hold down the lever with sufficient strength WHILE pulling the drawer straight outward.
Wow, sometimes you have to be an engineer just to remove your drawer!
You are a wonder!....thank you sooooo much! The last drawer is the one I have and I was ready to scream until I saw your video. Thanks again!
LOL-you're welcome Arlene!
Thank you so much for this video I didn't know how to take the draws out with sliders underneath, so glad I found your video I can now move my draws to another room.
Glad to help Michelle!
Thank you very much. It was very helpful. In my case there was a small screw attaching the drawer to the metal which needed to be removed
. Many thanks..
You're welcome Samir!
Thank you !!! Helped me finally get bathroom vanity draw out.
Welcome Katherine!
Very helpful, thank you.
Thank you very much! You just saved me a lot of money! Took me 5 minutes and it was fixed!
Sweet-glad to help!
Thank you! Followed your video, took out a drawer and got what was stuck beneath and behind it for a long time.
You're Welcome! Hope you found a bunch of money behind there!
Thank you!!! You helped me a lot with your tip!!!! I was able to remove the drawer and fixed it!
Way to go Gaby!!!
I have west Elm tower base 3 drawer mid century modern end table in bedroom top drawer is not aligned properly. I can get the drawer off using the clips on the slides but still can not get it to close properly. It’s actually more off now than when I started. Suggestions? I do not see any other way to reattach or reposition the rails. It has been misaligned since purchase but that was before Covid and as this is a 2nd home I haven’t been here to fix .
Thank you so much! Solved the problem for us!
Glad to help Nancy!
Hard-to-find knowledge, clearly explained.
Thank you Bruce!
Thank you! This was helpful.
Glad it helped!
Super helpful! Thanks.
You're Welcome!
You know what I was so frustrated with some stupid drawers and couldn’t find anything on how to remove them. Luckily I didn’t break them. Your video helped me find the unlock handle super easily. Thank you!
Awesome-that's great to hear!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Only 45 seconds into the video and I’ve already got the title to my motorcycle back from behind the drawer
LOL! Wow that's an important piece of paper not to lose! Happy to help!
😅
You help me so much more than you will realize thank you so much for the help.
Welcome!
Thanks I was dreading taking up the cabinet with the drawers in , now it's much lighter thanks again
Welcome Arthur!
Excellent video！Very helpful!
Thank you-glad it helped!
That last drawer has what I have in my rented apartment. I've gone under and pulled the tab, still couldn't pull it out. Didn't know I had to lift it up 😅. Thank you for the video ☺️
That's great-you're Welcome!
Thanks a lot! This helped so much!!
Glad it helped Ron!
Thanks for the tip Mike! 😉👍
You're Welcome!
Lol, this video is a lifesaver for me, thanks for uploading it!
You're welcome!
Thanks a million I feel great fixing my drawer it was driving me crazy
Happy to help you!
Thank you! I had a big kitchen drawer where a pan handle wouldn’t let me open it. I had to remove the drawer above to remove the pan & then open the drawer.
Awesome! Glad it helped you!
Thank you Mike!
You're Welcome Fern!
Thank you!!! This is super helpful
You're Welcome-glad it helped
You are a genius! Thanks!
LOL! You're Welcome
This video was like finding the long-lost last piece of the puzzle. I had the last drawer which seemed impossible to remove... but not anymore. Thanks Mike!
That's pretty funny! You're welcome!
Great video showing different types of sliding drawers buy do how to say this I have yet to see any video that goes to the very bottom drawers. thank you
I had another variation of the vanity draws which had a grey plastic spring push within the rail. Took forever to find it! I did a video for my ref in 5 years if I ever have to remove them again.
Great move Phill!
@@MikeKlimek Thanks Mike. I'd have posted it here but pretty sure you can't do things like that in comments. Your video really helped to just demonstrate there are so many different ways to remove drawers that I realised it could be just about anywhere. If it's of use I'll take out the draw again at some point and send you a slightly better quality video and you can append it to the end of yours.
Really liked your video. It will help me with a lot of my drawers. I am struggling with a chest of drawers that have middle rails and the rail seems to have a piece of metal in the middle of the rail. It doesn’t seem bendable. I can fully understand how that metal piece keeps the drawer from coming out. What do I do to get that drawer out?
If you pull the drawer out, can you tip or lift the back of it?
I kept trying to figure it out and just was stumped. Thank you!
You're Welcome Mia-glad to help you!
Thank you for your help😊
You're Welcome!
Very helpful! I could not figure out how to get out the kitchen drawers. Once I knew what i was looking for, it
Glad to help Ann!
You are awesome. That was great. Helped alot.🙏🙏🙏
Glad it helped you!
My mind is blown 🤯, thank you so much 😎
LOL You're Welcome Tracey!
This video save my life! Thanks 😊
Glad to help you!
Thank you for your video. I am still having extreme trouble removing my kitchen drawer. It has metal sliders, but I don't see any levers. There are 2 long, thin black pieces that could be levers, - the right side is curved downward and left, upward within the slider in the back. However, pushing both down or up, or one down and one up, does not disengage/unlock the drawer so I can remove it. Any suggestions? I would appreciate this so much.
I must have Older guides no clips snaps or levers obvious on ball bearing side tracks. I’ve checked carefully both sides inside top and bottom of drawer. Where else might whatever may it 😢be? Andrew
Thank you for this
You're Welcome!
Finally i the drawer out ! thanks Mike !
LOL-You're Welcome!
This is so helpful!
Glad it helped!
What if there's no plastic clip to push?
Thank you so much. You solved my problem!
Glad it helped you!
Please add the side sliders to your instructions.
Very helpful friend!!!!
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU!!! I was losing my mind. I was the 2nd one. The little clippy things. Hadn’t seen that before!
LOL! Damn clippy things!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome Chris!
Thanks, the closes one to my vanity is the last drawer with soft close actuators. Yet I could figure mine out, it did have a plastic piece I'm worried to crack it if I force it
There are lot's of different types...you just never know
Finally! Thank you!
LOL! You're Welcome!
Awesome video! You didn't cover my weird drawer but overall an informative video! -Tammy
Thank you Tammy!
Thank you so much
You're Welcome Amir!
Thanks for the video. You didn't cover the type of drawer I have, but I'm sure helped others out. Mine has a wooden rail underneath in the center like your first one, but at the VERY FRONT of that rail it has a plastic triangular shaped piece on the top and where you showed the back of your drawer where that brown plastic piece was to start the insertion onto the rail it is not completely open like yours, there is a kind of female matching t-shape closing it off in the back and that triangle piece on top of the rail has to match up with the t-opening to get it on. I got a drawer out by pulling hard (thinking it was the first type you showed) and the plastic piece in the back broken and the drawer came out. But NOW, even seeing how the catch and the rail are shaped I can't figure out how to get them out, obviously you have to mate up the triangle on the rail and the female slot in the back, but for the life of me I haven't figured out how to do that. I have broken another of the back clips trying to figure it out.
Thank you! Your first drawer was exactly they type I was looking for! My cat got under the bed and got confused how to get out, so I pulled out the drawer
Way to go Katrina!
Hello…. Thank you for your video. I have a dresser from the late 80’s - early 90’s….. its from Norway (names of store in NJ USA….Scandinavian Gallery and House of Norway). They have a side rails on each side of drawer but no clips or teeth or anything i can see to detach drawers….. any ideas?
The answer is somewhere on the rails. A couple things come to mind: extend the drawer all the way out and lift up. Next is there a button or tab that you can push in or pull out? Somehow the drawer will pull out or lift out
Good video for several types if drawers. However, no guidance for drawers with side rail guides and "lifting" once it is pulled all the way out and no bottom guide on the drawer. That's the kind of drawer I'm struggling with. 😫
same any luck?
@@bluecoozy nope
Did you manage to get it done? I’m stuck on 1 as well
Funny, me too
Im stuck too!!
Mine is old school. No rail or glide just wood and plastic wheel. Got it out can’t get it back in.
Thank you 🙏
Welcome!
Big help. Thanks 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Welcome!
It worked out well 😊
Glad to help Samara!
Thank you! You saved me from destroying my dresser! 😂
Awesome!
Thanks!
Welcome Pam!
Thank you so much!!! You've saved me & my student housemates a lot of struggle!!! We had no clue how to remove our under rail drawers, et voila you're our saviour! 🫶
LOL Glad to help!
Mike, very good video. But, not complete. I am dealing with a single metal center mounted slide. I have to move the cabinet upstairs and tried to lighten the load by removing the drawers--but no luck. I did not want to force it to avoid breaking any parts. So far no luck.
Certainly there are more styles of drawers than I had access to for this video. There has to be a release there. Worst case remove the contents of the drawers
I couldn't stop laughing 🤣 😆 😂
The lil' clips are missing from our wWayfair (ikea) bathroom vanity; the drawers are like the last example.
It appears that because the clips were/are missing that there are screws in the holes in the front instead of the clips... is taking those two screws out how I'll be able to remove the drawers?
Without actually seeing it, it sounds like somewhere down the line, someone replaced the clips with the screws to hold it. Sounds to me like removing the screws will allow you to remove the drawer. Good luck!
Thanks very much! I think I can fix my drawer now!
Excellent! Glad to help!
Thanks very much.
Welcome!
