Review on πŸ—„οΈ Liberty D80616C-ZP-W 16-Inch Ball Bearing Drawer Slide by Jeff Sorensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good guides for the price

I used these to replace original cheap lower roller guides that broke. These metal-bearing guides have an educational feel and glide smoothly. Lateral ball bearing guides are not always easy to align everything correctly. You could potentially buy a Kreg/Rockler drawer mount, but it probably won't work in all situations. To save your sanity, I think the most carefree method is to use a self-leveling laser level with a tripod if you have one. The line laser draws a perfectly level line across the inside of your cabinet to mark and define the center points for the cabinet's interior rails. **Tip Tip** Before moving/removing the laser, temporarily hold the drawer so you can transfer the same center laser marks to each front of the drawer. This will show you exactly where to place the runners on your drawer. Like many ball bearing slides, they require a standard 1/2 inch clearance on each side between the cabinet and the drawer.
