How do i fix replace or patch up cabinet drawers?mobile home?

Question

I live in a mobile home and the kitchen and bathroom drawers (a few of them) are broken or off track and won't close properly. I am going to be remodeling/redecorating, what can I do to fix these eye sores?

Answer 1

The tracks should be underneath. Check the wood to see what is broken and replace the broken pieces. The fronts of the drawers could be replaced for a nice visual affect or you could just replace then entire drawer altogether. Some kitchen and bathroom drawers will have metal roller tracks on the sides and all you have to do is replace those. If you do, I recommend getting the tracks that prevent slamming. No matter about how hard you try slamming the drawers they will slow a few inches before they go all the way closed then close on their own.

Also the tracking in the cabinet could be bad also, check it as well.

Answer 2

Use small finishing nails and some wood glue. Also, check the track that connects to the back of the cabinet, the finishing nails they use when they put those in don't hold up very well. I live in a mobile home too, and the nails hold alot better with the wood glue.
