OT: Replacing drawer guides.?

At the old house I replaced several broken drawer guides with those nice ball-bearing full-extension types.

I'm considering doing the same here... nothing broken yet, but the full extension would be nice.

As I remember it, it was really difficult to get the alignment right.

Anyone done this and have pointers to ease my pain ?>:-) ...Jim Thompson

Kreg makes jigs to help mount drawer slides. I think this is a Kreg (I have the Kreg jigs but haven't watched this video through).

If you're going to replace the drawers, I'd highly recommend the self-closing Blum Tandem Blumotion bottom guides.

In any case, this is a good place to buy such things. They often have

*really* good sales on drawer guides.
