Got a drawer that rattles, sags, and slams shut? It’s enough to sour your whole kitchen vibe. Instead of overhauling every cabinet door, zero in on the real problem—those beat-up old drawer slides. In this guide, we’ll ditch crusty rollers and swap in sleek soft-close, full-extension, ball-bearing drawer slides. You’ll turn a wobbly drawer into a luxury-worthy cabinet upgrade, and have it done before dinner.

Go with roller runner for tight budgets, ball-bearing slides for everyday kitchen use, under-mount slides for invisible luxury. Follow the matrix, use the install hacks, and your next cabinet upgrade will glide smoothly for decades—no more screeches, no more struggles.

Upgrade your cabinet in one afternoon by swapping drawer slides. Pop in budget epoxy-coated slides for light loads, full-extension ball-bearing versions for 100 lb and total access, or hidden under-mount slides for a clean, ultra-wide drawer. Mark, level, pilot-drill, micro-adjust, tighten—done.
