1. The first thing we have to do is to grab a drawer slide in hand, and separate the drawer outline slide rail from the slide rail and press the trigger to disconnect the lever.


Once you press the lever, slide the drawer outline completely out of the slide.


2. The next thing we have to do is to determine the position of the drawer. Use a pencil to mark where you want to stick the slide rail. (Note: Make sure to check the gap between the top and bottom of the drawer.)


3. Next, mark the center of the drawer box and the sides of the cabinet.


4. Using a carpenter's square, use a marker to draw a center line on both sides of the drawer box and the cabinet.


5. Now we are going to attach the slide rails of the cabinet. Place the slide rail so that the front end of the slide rail is 1/16 inch away from the front of the cabinet.


6. Now, you will use a drill bit to pre-drill the holes that you need to connect the slide rail to the wood.


7. In the next step, you will use your drill rig to connect the screws to ensure that your slide rails are in place.


Now, let's attach the drawer configuration file.


8. Place the profile on the side of the drawer and make sure that the front of the profile is flush with the front of the drawer. Use the centerline mark (number) to center the outline of the drawer side. When it is equal, go ahead and pre-drill your pilot hole.


9. Fix the slide in place with screws.


Now that the outline of the drawer and the slide rails have been attached, let's insert the drawer into the cabinet.


10. Lift the drawer to the cabinet, and then insert the back of the drawer outline into the bracket slot.


11. Slowly push the drawer back into the cabinet until the drawer fully enters the cabinet.


That's it, you did it! here you go! Once you insert the drawer into the cabinet, test it to make sure everything is connected and moving smoothly.
