Building file cabinet drawers.

This week i am making a 2 drawer filing cabinet for my grandfather join me as i walk you through building this simple construction oak cabinet. If building a new drawer you can follow my simple drawer tutorial but adjust the size to accommodate the files. Heavy duty drawer slides such as kv 8505 are ideal for converting drawers into durable file cabinets. Shop for file cabinets in office furniture.

Buy products such as 2 3 4 and 5 drawer lateral and vertical filling cabinets with multiple finishes and colors. Another critical step to build your own file cabinet is selecting the type of hanging rails. Pre drill a hole in each end of the strip and attach the strips with the 1 pan head screws each through a spacer into the larger drawer boxes. I hear from a lot of folks that building and installing drawers can be intimidating but as long as you take your time and make sure you re checking for square you shouldn t have too much of an issue.

Okay it s drawer building time. Choose the rail type. When planning your cabinet make sure to leave 1 clearance above the top of the file drawer so the hanging file tabs will clear the faceframe or drawer above the files. Originally posted 2012 09 04 08 00 25.
