Drawer Slides
Has anyone installed drawer slides/glides that actually keep the drawers from falling out while traveling and also make it easy to open the drawer? If so, how?

Re: Drawer Slides
If our drawers are shut properly, they don't slide open when we are traveling. Some of them are very hard to open, though. Scruffy had to replace the glides in the drawer under the stove because one side broke. It is still difficult to open. We just put up with it.

The opening for our drawer under the stove was 1/8+ inch to wide. A piece of paint stick, some new screws and the drawer works fine.

Rv dealer told me not to put to much under the stove or they will break. So I went and visited a very wise man at another establishment. He uses plywood to help stop the breakage. About halfway down the slide He places pieces of plywood. From the floor to the slide. Attaching these to the slides as help stop the breakage according to him. About 2 to 4 inches wide and however long U need.
