Installing Accuride Full Extension Zinc Box Drawer Slides

1. Measure the height of the opening and the drawer.

2. Subtract the drawer height from the opening height.

3. Divide that by 2 to get you your even spacing for top and bottom.

4. Measure from the bottom of the opening to the center of the drawer slide.

5. Subtract the number from step 4 by the number you got in step 3.

6. Use that number measure up from the bottom of the drawer to mark the center line of your slide.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

The Wood Whisperer has a video online where he installs the drawer slides on his assembly table. Seemed to help for me.

I’m lazy. I use blocks at whatever height to space up the carcass side of the slide and screw them in. I put the inner slides back in. Slide the drawer back in almost all the way. Use 1/8” shims to shim up the drawer (make them long enough to hold the drawer level.) Pull the inner slide out and mark the height. Take the drawer out and scribe it. Set the slide back the appropriate amount on the drawer side and screw it in. no math, no fail.
