Fixing broken built in drawer

Faith · 2007-05-02 19:08:13

The furniture in my kitchen is all built in, and the door of one of the drawers has broken off. For a while I was using sticky pads to keep it in place, but they don't work anymore. Since it was built from the inside out, I can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas?

the drawer should be able to be removed.pull it out,lift it slightly at the front and it should come out a little more.then lift it in the middle and it should come all the way out.
sorry if its not clear its hard to explain...lol.

failing that you could put 2 screws through from the back into the drawer front,just make sure its not too long to poke through the front of the drawer.

EDIT: it will be easier to fix if you can take it out

good advice - but just be very careful that you fix it in exactly the right position relative to the drawer carcase (and other drawer fronts)
