DIY Locking Drawer Slide Install

I have been contemplating building a storage drawer for our RV for several months. One day I received an email from Vadania and they were offering me a set of drawer slides for a product review, if I had a project that called for drawer slides. This was my opportunity to put my thoughts into actions and get busy building the storage drawer. As I researched the Vadania website and I read up on their locking drawer slides, I could tell that these were quality slides and the slides that would fit my needs. Since I’m a creature of habit and always want the biggest and best, that’s exactly what I ordered…the biggest, most heavy duty drawer slide that was available on the website. These slides are definitely an overkill for the amount of weight / items that I will place on the drawer. I actually ordered the drawer slides and built the drawer to fit the slides. After completing the project, I am completely satisfied and impressed with the quality, durability and ease of installation. Vadania offers a quality product, the shipping was fast and though they were working with me for a product review, the customer service was top notch.

Thank you very much. Great explanation.

Great video! In an RV, it appears that there would be some good space wasted under the drawer, however if the drawer was padlocked at the front, then the space underneath would be quite secure.

Did you leave a 1/16th clearance between the slide and the drawer itself? Or is the width of the drawer exactly the distance from slide to slide?

Can you take the drawer out or off to install the bottom

Thanks great video I'm trying to build a fridge slide etc

Thank you, a fridge slide sounds like an excellent project idea. If you happen to use slides like I used here, I think you’ll be pleased. I’ll have my drawer build and install uploaded soon. Thank you for watching

@@TheFurrminator yep my slide is done

@CaptZenPetabyte Жыл бұрын

Quick question? Do you think the locks pn these would allow then to be mounted vertically, & support a small the medium weight? (eg. Be used as a 'slide down' computer monitor stand)

@tomasmerino1039 4 ай бұрын

They hold the weight you put on top as you accelerate/brake... I suppose it'll hold up just fine

Nice work. Are you going to make a video on it mounted in Travel trailer cargo area.? Was it worth loosing space side to side due to curvature of outer door?

@TheFurrminator Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. Yes, I have a video on the drawer mounted, I just need to finish editing it and I’ll have it uploaded soon. Yes, I’m happy with the space that I can utilize with the drawer and the space on the sides. I still store all of my stackable leveling blocks as well as my Anderson blocks on the left side of the drawer and my x-chocks and tire chocks on the right side of the drawer. Be on the lookout for the video of the drawer installed.

Can it be made wide enough to fit the back of a pickup truck?

@tb693ny6 2 ай бұрын

what size wood are you using these on? 3/4 or 1/2 inch?

Great video, I’ve been looking online for a pair of heavy duty drawer slides. I think my search is over after watching your video. Do you if these can be mounted flat/horizontal or do they to mounted vertical?

@TheFurrminator Жыл бұрын

I haven’t looked into mounting them flat but I don’t think they could offer the same weight support if they were mounted flat. I would recommend contacting the company, they have provided excellent customer service and I believe they would be happy to help you find the proper drawer slide to fit your project needs.

How did the paint on your seat on the hunting buggy hold up?

@TheFurrminator Жыл бұрын

The hunting buggy seat is holding up well. There are a couple spots on the drivers side, where the seat gets stretched the most, that the white is starting to show. It just looks like there are stretch marks in the black. Over all, in comparison to buying a new seat or seat cover, I am happy with how it has held up since June of 2021.

I had been planning on building your other (original?) Video. Why are you building with a slide now. Were there problems i should watch for. Can you share reasoning for new build. Thanks Tim DuBon

@TheFurrminator Жыл бұрын

So sorry for the delayed response. There were absolutely no issues with the original build. This new build with drawer slides was in a new camper where I wanted to have what I had on my old camper. The reason I used drawer slides is because Vadania reached out to me and offered me the drawer slides to try. I hope this helps and thank you for watching

Can there be installed horizontally? So I can just have a shelf and not a drawer?

@TheFurrminator Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure how that would work.

@lukeagex Ай бұрын

What you're looking for are "undermount drawer slides". Usually these kinds of locking drawer slides (in the video) aren't designed to be used horizontally. Confirm if yours are by looking in their 'installation instructions' or manufacturer specifications.

@Theweekendforecastblog Жыл бұрын

Can they come disconnected?

@TheFurrminator Жыл бұрын

I don’t think they are removable once installed

@lukeagex Ай бұрын

Usually these slides let you depress the locking tabs when the slides are at full extension, to release the inner rails and allow you to take out the drawer.
