Side Guide System

	GENERAL The side guide system consists of two side guides, one marked right and the other left, and two side buttons.
	DRAWER OPENING The minimum cabinet dimensions and clearance between drawers are shown in the table below. The most critical dimension in installnig this system is the width of the drawer opening (A). If the opening is too wide, the drawer may rack and the lip of the side guide member will drag on the drawer making it hard to open and close. If the opening is too narrow, the side flange of the drawer will drag on the drawer guide making it hard to open and close. Because of these two characteristics the side guide opening must be correct. Dimension (B) is the minimum cabinet depth (front to back) and dimension (C) is the minimum clearance between drawers (height).
	SIDE BUTTONS Location of the side buttons is 4" down from the center of the side guide and 3/8" back from the front end of the side guide. Side buttons are not used with the M-3079 drawer. Fasten the side button to the case side using 1 1/4"x8 wood screws.
	INSTALLING SIDE GUIDES Lay out the locations for the mounting screws on the side case. Do not use the mounting holes in the guides to locate the position of the guide in the case. Fasten the side guide to the case side using #5 pan head sheetmetal screws, driving the screws into the pre-marked locations. The installed side guide must be straight and perpendicular to the front plane of the case. For recessed drawer fronts, the front edge of the side guide can be used as the drawer stop. This is easily accomplished by setting back each side guide by the thickness of the drawer front. For drawer fronts that overlap the front of the cabinet, bring the side guides to the front edge of the cabinet. This allows the drawer to have maximum extension in front of the case before hitting the drawer stops. To aid sliding, the bearing surfaces of the drawer and side guide may be coated with silicone spray.
