Need help removing drawers from dresser

Need help removing drawers from dresser. I’ve tried everything I can think of. The glides are bottom mount. There is no release mechanism that I can find. There are no stops on the sides. Taking off the dresser back doesn’t seem it will allow access. And I can only reach the drawer glide screws on the front - so that won’t help. The name on the glide seems to be"Lidisi" or “Clidisi”.

I’m going crazy. Any ideas?

B. There seems to be a black piece of plastic at the end of one rail. Perhaps lifting that out frees things. But more likely:

A. The oval next to it might allow access to a spring button that unlatches it.

On my similar glides (other brand), there’s a little pointy bit made of black plastic, that you need to deflect to the side. I think I can see it in the left 25% of your second picture, but it’s hard to see because it’s black on chrome.

Here’s a PDF document for Accuride glides. On the last illustration on the last page, you can see the pointy bit labeled as “Disconnect lever”. That’s what I was talking about above.

Did you fold your *drawers *before putting them away? They are easier to pickup and remove afterwards.

:wink:

You’ll probably have to remove the Phillips head mounting screws.

Cheap drawer glides aren’t always designed to separate. It varies from brand to brand.

Thank you, thank you. That worked. I had actually seen that black thing earlier and tried it but I was afraid to pull on the drawer too hard. I felt more confident seeing the pdf you linked to.

Anyway, thanks again.

Ha ha. :slight_smile:

Glad it worked. Was this to retrieve a sock that had fallen behind its assigned drawer, or your uncle’s long-hidden B&O Railway stock certificates?

The REAL Mona Lisa. That and Nazi gold.
Seriously though, I’m moving and this dresser is massive (solid wood) and weighs a lot. With the drawers out it will still weigh a lot but it will be better.

I wouldn’t bother for a sock. :slight_smile:
