What are microguides?
Micro guides are very narrow guides whose particular characteristic is that they are installed by embedding them in the side of the drawer itself . In this way, the weight capacity supported is greater and the guide is more discreet . Let's briefly see how to install them in your drawers .
How to install micro guides in your drawers
Although the installation of these guides can be very inductive and similar to that of a telescopic guide, it has the particularity that it is embedded in the side of the drawer in such a way that the drawer is completely attached to the walls of the wardrobe and it will not be necessary to cover the front of the guides since they will not be visible. To carry out the installation, follow these steps:
Steps to install microguides
1. You must have a drawer with a groove on the sides where you can insert the guides . Once the groove is made, you only have to install one side of each guide in that small groove.
Note: The screw that secures the guide that goes into the groove is installed on the inside of the drawer. It is not a lag screw but a screw that will keep the guide fixed.
2º. You must screw the other part of the guide into the walls of the drawer unit (from the inside) and make sure that they are fixed at the same height from each other . You must make this adjustment using lag screws.
3. Once both parts of the two guides are fixed, you will only have to fit the drawer into the furniture and you will now have a chest of drawers with discreet guides installed .
