I chose 2 different types of sliders, heavier duty for the file drawer and lighter sliders typical for kitchen drawers for the other.
After measuring for the file drawer, installation was relatively simple. The smaller drawer however, had two problems:
1) The screws to mount the slider on the drawer actually had to extend into the floating drawer bottom (lesson, next time allow some clearance between the drawer bottom and the slider mounting screws which are actually aligned with the drawer bottom. This was not the case for the file drawer sliders which were mounted 1 3/8 ” above the bottom edge.)
2) In order to insert the drawer into the cabinet mounted slider, I had to cut the rear corners of the drawer to allow enough clearance between the drawer and the cabinet opening.
Lessons well learned for next time!
