Drawer falling out because it's too short - need a fix please?

14 years ago

Easy Woodworking fix?

My drawer's fall off. ha j/k take a look for easy fix help:

I have drawers that are used for clothes or should be but things they are used for like paper (printer)

are heavy and cause the drawers to fall out nearly. Not yet but it will be bad when it does.

I think there's a fix to put a stop in there to keep it from falling out. With photos I've taken what

do you suggest I do so it I have full use of the distance of the movement without it falling out?

Thanks

They're large but well I can shrink them if that's a problem. Let me know:

Andre

You can buy a couple types of drawer mount or carcase mount drawer stops. If you don't want to buy them, you can make them from a piece of hardwood about 3/4" wide x 2" long by 1/4" thick. Drill a pilot hole in one end and screw to the inside back of your drawer. Swing it out of the way to remove the drawer.
