Carpenter Fixes Drawers With Simple Back Cills
An old carpenter describes a method to stop drawers from pulling out. He cuts two small wood pieces about two and a half inches long and one inch wide. He screws them to the back of the drawer to catch the chest front edge when pulled forward. He turns the pieces down as the drawer is inserted and then turns them up again to lock the catch.
