On the other hand, I used to be a rocket scientist. How ironic! Thank you for commenting.

Great video! Exactly what I needed to see and know with no extra. Great shots of the back of the cabinet, the drawer slide, everything. Thanks!

So glad it helped. Wasn't sure if anyone would need this when I posted since it's kind of old technology. Thanks for the kind comment.

Thank you! It was very rewarding in that the drawers had been like that for 60+ years and everyone was so happy to see them fixed.

Wish you put the product number in description so I can see if Lowes even has them anymore. Will have to watch video and see if I can get any further info.

So sorry. I thought I included a shot of the package. Was there not anything in the description?

@cuddles6938 8 ай бұрын

@FloridaJoe3 Don't think so. Apparently they don't carry the kits anymore. I found a couple on Amazon that might work.

@@cuddles6938 Aw shucks... well, good luck with it. I would imagine the Amazon ones will be very similar since it's an old design.

I have old 1970 something Cabinets but they are an OVERHEAD mono rail system. Would this system work but mounted from above?

If I'm understanding you right, it should work. You'd need to try it and see. Good luck.

Are there many different depths of the rail? This old house I'm working on seems to default to 23". And then there is some odd size that the last guy adjusted by just putting some plywood in the back of the cabinet to reduce the length somewhat. Seems to be something like 22" is required, but with the plywood "shim" they used a 21" rail. I'm guessing it would just be simple to cut to length with the old Dremel too. Good video, thanks.

@FloridaJoe3 Жыл бұрын

If possible, I would purchase the next larger size and cut it down with a hacksaw or dremel as you suggested. It looks like you can cut off the back of the rail without affecting the function of it. Thank you for the comment.

@@FloridaJoe3 thanks again! just bought the kit and it is easy to cut to any size. the hardest part was learning the right words (monorail slide) to search for videos and get the appropriate parts.

@@tiredoldman9414 So glad it worked out. It's so nice when drawers slide in and out smoothly after having struggled with them.

I have drawers that already have these installed (in the 70s), but they squeak something awful when opening and closing. How would I correct this? Lubricant on the track did not work at all.

@FloridaJoe3 2 жыл бұрын

I would think the squeak must be in the wheel of the mechanism. If you could get some waxy lubricant (such as door-ease) into the little axles it might clear up. Otherwise, you could replace the wheeled part of the mechanism (might have to buy the whole thing). Good luck with it. 🤓
