What drawer rail November 03, 2025, 12:53:28 pm I am befuddled. I need to replace the single drawer rail that is underneath the drawer beneath the refrigerator in my 2006 mid bath. I am having incredible difficulty determining the exact one I should order. Has anyone done this and do they have a recommendation as to what will work?

Re: What drawer rail Reply #2 – November 04, 2025, 09:54:07 am Hi Jack; About two months ago I answered this for someone else at: Drawer Guides (click on the arrow at the right of "size" for other sizes available) I've never ordered them, but they look like what I have. (mine are stamped Accuride) Depending on which drawer you need a replacement for, different lengths are used. A good time to replace the corner 'nail in' plastic glides that Larry referenced. For the under refrigerator drawer, a 24" depth, I installed a piece of aluminum angle bracket to support the sharply bent steel piece that always fatigues and breaks. Then I put in a magnet catch at the back to retain the drawer. That works well once you get it adjusted right. Originally I bought some full extension slides, but couldn't mount them on my T/K floorplan because I had propane plumbing on the side at the back of the drawer. Too many complications to move the piping and 'T' for the refrigerator and water heater. RonB 2 Likes
Re: What drawer rail Reply #3 – November 04, 2025, 12:54:09 pm Hi Jack. Your reply was in the wrong thread, and when I tried to move it, I lost it! Floating around in cyber space somewhere. So you could re post it here... but... No, that link that I provided was for the original LD installed Accuride slides. Larry's ones would work also. Measure first to get the right part. Replace just the track screwed into the bottom of the drawer. It will have the new 'V' portion on it, and should just slide into the part on the face frame. A few more screws and you can replace both parts. The magnets in back are only if you are going to keep the old slides. I found that to be easier for me to do. That approach is hidden, will work even when the replacement sliders wear out again. RonB This is a repeat of Larry's, and my issues with the heavy drawers. The back end of the drawers are suspended in mid air about 6" from the back wall. Vibration of the heavily loaded drawers while travelling flexes the really sharp bend at the back piece (steel angle) and fatigues it into early failure. (Not the problem you have, Jack with the worn out stop at the front). To short stop that broken angle failure; additional rails under the drawer, wood or metal can prevent the flexing, or a piece of aluminum angle can support that steel piece in the back to keep it from flexing. Lighter, smaller or shorter drawers won't have that aging issue. RB 2 Likes
Re: What drawer rail Reply #4 – November 07, 2025, 12:24:49 pm For anyone interested, I ended up buying through Amazon the Accuride under Mount slide and I believe it was model 1029. The shortest one they have is 13 inches that’s a little bit longer than the one that Lazy Daze used years ago.I ended up leaving the piece of the slide mounted to the underside of the drawer in place and I took the 13 inch bottom half and cut a little off of each end with my grinding tool, to make it fit.It works perfectly now, but what a hassle.I’m thinking some of the other suggestions that people might have suggested here it would’ve been a better idea, but it is fixed now. 3 Likes
