Did anyone else notice that 1:30 they forgot to predrill and the cracked the drawer box?

You say there are three different types of rails, but I have one you didn't mention: center above drawer. I've been looking to buy something nice and smooth (maybe with barings) to replace the standard old one.

Hi. Somewhat of a random question. Could I use a side mount as a center mount slide. I have used two side mounting slides but due to the weight of the drawer I am thinking of using, if possible another side mount slide but underneath the drawer.

How can I replace this type of under drawer mount. Can’t seem to find. Would have to ship to Hawaii, which is always another hurdle to jump! HELP!
Please advise where I can send photos of it (very different) to locate replacement or replace with something that would fit. Thanks

would I be able to install one slider on one side and another slider on the bottom? i am making a 24" pullout 9"tall x6" wide drawer with a open side not the top. like a pull out book shelf. or would it be better to put both on bottom or both on one of the sides?

Can you get rails similar to the center one that attach to the side frame of a counter and extend to the back to be mounted so that you have a rail on both sides. I have no side walls.

I am retro fitting old kitchen drawers, I need to know the actual clearance necessary between the drawer box side  and the frame. Mine are tight
