<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 3034874, member: 6444"]Those wood blocks (stops) are designed to simply prevent the drawer from being pushed too far in, and should not affect ease of sliding in/out. You can replace with scrap wood and wood glue. If drawers don't open as easily as they used to before move, it could be moisture differences in your new versus old location? Humid locations will cause wood to swell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Difficulty getting drawers in and out is typically due to wear on the runners that the bottom of the drawer sides run along. Applying wax (use a block of parrafin or bees wax) on the bottom sides and runners can improve this. If that doesn't work, look at each drawer carefully - and use a piece of paper to see where they are sticking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
