Spent 6 hours trying to fix a drawer that was binding and it was just a 3 degree screw angle
Last week I had this one drawer in a custom kitchen job that just would not slide right. I must have taken the thing out and put it back 20 times, checking the slides, the box squareness, the face alignment, everything. Measured the gap with feeler gauges, checked for warped wood, even swapped out the undermount slides for a fresh pair. After about 6 hours across two days I was ready to throw the whole cabinet out the window. Turns out the screw holding the slide to the cabinet was driven in at a slight angle, just enough to push the rail off by maybe 1/32 of an inch. Backed it out, put it in straight, and the drawer glides like butter. Has anyone else ever had something this stupid waste your whole day? What's the smallest thing that's cost you the most time?
