 Topic: Broken drawer railsPosted: 17 Jun 2013 at 9:12am |
|
I purchased a used 2010 171 this spring. I have found the drawer rails coming apart (sagging) and not supporting the contents. Has anyone else had this problem and did you have to replace the rails? If so, where did you purchase them?

I also purchased a 2010 recently and had the same problem. Several of the brackets that hold the side rails were broken where they attach to the wooden supports in the rear of the drawer area. Home Depot has the part. Look in the area of the drawer knobs. Here is a link http://www.homedepot.com/p/Prime-Line-1L-1R-Rear-Drawer-Track-Sockets-R-7227/202999848#.Ub8mDufUm3Y . I am not sure if this is the exact one...It seems like in the store it was less than $2 for the pair, but is looks like the one shown in the link above.
Good Luck...

Mine were horrible and practically falling off when the trailer was new. So I swapped them out for some proper full-extension slides that anchor on the side and have a nice solid lock when you close them. I purchased them from my local hardwood supplier (windsor plywood). The only modification necessary was adding some plywood on the sides. It also allows for me to use deeper drawers in the future (someday I'll get around to it).

I used to the same ones podrunner is referring to when some of mine snapped in two after a trip to Chaco Canyon last month. Perfect fit.

I discovered I had the same problem with one of the rails on the middle drawer this spring. The plastic clip on the back wall was cracked, so I used some scrap wood to create a new support.

Thanks for all the advice. I created a support across and under the rails, screwed it in place through the cabinet wall. It should be bomb proof now!!
