    Drawer Slides

    Building a dresser and have a question concerning drawer slides. I bought the Lee Valley center mount slides. Question is what do you to limit how far in the drawer goes in on the slide in order to have the drawer face flush with the frame. The dresser face is an open cavity without any "stops" to limit the drawer's depth.

    I guess I could attach something to the back of the drawer but I'm sure there is an easier solution that is beyond my limnited expereince.

    I just put a stop on the back of the cabinet.

    Y'mean metal drawer slides? All the ones I've ever seen have in-stops and out-stops built in. That is, you don't need to add any external stop.
