Rear drawer slide socket

Question

Hi,

The right side (the brown one) bracket (32-012) is broken on one of our kitchen drawers. I have already purchased the new bracket from you. However, I cannot seem to locate the fasteners/screws that has mounted the old bracket to the back of our kitchen cabinet. Therefore, I cannot take the old ones out. Can you please send me any information on how to take an old one out and put in a new one.

Well, it depends on what your old sockets are. There are a ton of different versions made throughout the years, and from brand-to-brand, so I can't really say how yours install.

I know some older drawer sockets installed using plugs that just pushed into holes in the back of the drawer. It's possible that's what you have.

Some other older drawer sockets are held in with adhesive, which may be a problem. You don't have a lot of options when it comes to that kind of setup. If that ends up being how your sockets are held in, then you should contact a local hardware store to see what they suggest to loosen it up.
