    I just tried this....it worked. I did have the solid board under the track, but there was a small space so I used floral wire and small screws. Thanks so much

    Great! This made me realize I just wasn't sliding the drawers in properly and that the track guide wasn't on the track. Thanks!

    In the background near the end, I happened to see Van Halen's Fair Warning album cover! Good taste in classic 80's rock! LOL! Great Fix it video ! Thanks

    Thank you ♥ for this video. Lived here over 10 years and always pay on time. Kitchen drawers have been a problem and the slumlord doesn't want to put any $$ into the house. Will try this tomorrow. I really appreciate this hack.

    I did this last night to three drawers in a old wooden dresser. It absolutely works! I ended up using two paper clips per drawers just to add more strength. Thank you SO much!

    I have an old dresser that I love and was debating getting rid of because the track was broken and the drawers always fell out, but I tried this trick and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much for this video!

    I just used this on an old bottom kitchen drawer, and it worked! So it's not Bob Villa, but it's exactly what this girl needed in order to make life easier for my 80 year old mother. And the cost? Zero! Thank you!

    Thank you, i had a metal and wood track and the wood track was damaged so I used what I had and used two zip ties, a paper clip and a staple gun to hang it on. This was perfectly inspired by your video and the best part is that it didn’t cost me anything I didn’t have :)

    Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

      Thank you! I have had some people get mad because I didn't fix the drawer the "right": way. I'm like, the title says it's a HACK. If you want right way, search Bob Villa LOL. We do hacks because it's fun, sometimes to save money or a part is hard to find, maybe we get a thrill from saving $5 but mostly because we can. :)

  • @sassyNot4u
    @sassyNot4u 6 років тому +3

    If you predrill your holes you won't split your wood and can use a larger nail. Most homes have a drill these days. But I'd really recommend just buying a proper track. You want a fix that is professional and going to last the lifetime of your piece. However, this is a great idea for a quick fix until you can get to the store. Thanks for posting it, was the first time I'd seen this idea.

    • @NashvilleRestoration
      @NashvilleRestoration  6 років тому +2

      Yes you are correct. This is a quick fix for those who like to try hacks. A track is more professional option. These ideas come in head and then all the sudden I am making a video. I am intrigued by hacks and my mind never stops thinking about how to build and fix things. There is a video coming of a proper track. :)

      I think best to order a drawer guide from Amazon. If you have another drawer, you should be able to measure what size it is.

    Well it is a good idea for a quick fix but mine has wood between the drawers on the dresser I own.

    • @NashvilleRestoration
      @NashvilleRestoration  6 років тому

      Putting the actual slides back on is pretty easy (if you have them). Pull out one of the drawers that still has a slide and compare it to the replacement ones available on Amazon. Search for "drawer track guide". I tried to post a link in this reply but it won't let me. The good news is that your dresser still has the boards between the drawers so it is probably still sturdy. :) Putting a new slide on is a couple screws so it is an easy fix. I will post a video of that repair soon, but you will see how to do it once you pull out one of the other drawers. Thank you!

    • @losira13
      @losira13 6 років тому

      Well I will look forward to that video. My dresser is from the mid 1980's and has survived several military moves. The current slides are plastic so I know they have broken and I need to fix them or replace them and need to replace the hardware too. I want to use the dresser in the guest room and don't want the drawers to fall out on people's feet now. Thanks for the current video.
