Separate and install drawer runners.
Take all runners you have and separate them by left and right.
Set them in place where they go.
Line up the runners with the pre-drilled holes on the partition and screw them in place.
Install the drawer box.
Push the drawer box into place where it goes.
Open and put gentle pressure downward until the box is fully clicked in place.
Double check underneath the runners clicked into the drawer box.
Test functionality by opening and closing the drawer twice.
If the runners have not clicked into the drawer box, grab the runners from underneath with your fingers and your palms touching the drawer face. Squeeze together until the runners click into place.
Repeat Step 2 for all drawers in the stack and system. When installing a stack of drawers, install them from bottom to top.
Adjust and test.
Once every drawer is installed in the stack, adjust all boxes so they line up from top to bottom with an 1/8” gap between each face.
