Just found a hidden problem with some old drawer slides I bought
Last week I was putting together a built-in for a client in Tacoma, using these slides I picked up cheap about 3 years ago. I got the cabinet box done and went to test the fit, but the drawer wouldn't go in all the way. Turns out, the mounting holes on the slides were drilled about an eighth of an inch off from the specs, so the whole thing was binding. Had to re-drill every single cabinet side, which added like two hours to the job. Has anyone else run into slides that just weren't made right?

Honestly, that's the worst. I had the same thing happen with a batch of undermount slides last year. The little plastic tabs that lock them in place were all molded wrong, so they'd just pop out when you tried to close the drawer. Wasted a whole Saturday.

Feels like everything's just made to break these days.

Wait, the tabs were molded wrong on all of them?
