<\/a><\/p>\nDrawer bottom and back (16mm chipboard), “Metabox” sides, door attachment hardware, and chipboard screws.<\/p>\n
This is how the door is attached to the drawer sides. The two oval screw holes allow for side-to-side adjustment, and the hardware itself allows for a bit of up and down movement using a cam system.<\/p>\n Pick the best side of the drawer bottom and apply a bead of sealant to the long sides (in this pic, the bottom left hand side will form the visible bottom of the drawer).<\/p>\n Square up the front of the drawer side with the drawer bottom (In my case this left a bit of an overhang at the rear) and screw it down.<\/p>\n The quick way of lining up screws if you’re not too fussed with the exact dimensions, but you want things lined up.<\/p>\n Three pilot holes (my drawer bottom is 39cm, I drilled holes at 8 1\/2. 19 1\/2 and 30 1\/2 cm.<\/p>\n Choose the best side of the back strip and apply sealant to the front three edges.<\/p>\n And screw things down (screws are cheap, so I fit them all).<\/p>\n Drawer installed.<\/p>\n I estimated that I needed a 3mm gap between drawers, so I used two 3mm twist drills (“drill bits”, although some people hate the term, like others hate the term “bullet head”) for spacing.<\/p>\n In the end, it turned out that all four drawers were fine with a 26mm spacing. I also lined the sides up, marked the centre of the holes.<\/p>\n I don’t really want to drill right through the drawer door, so I adjusted the depth carefully.<\/p>\n Pilot and screw down.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
