Installing Drawer Slides

hi there fellow wreckers,i'm in the process of building bedside tables,and i
need a little help from those of you who might know.I'm currently trying to
install drawer slides,and i have a jig to help me locate placement from front
to back,but i'm not sure how to go about locating the slide up and down on the
drawer side.Is there a rule of thumb,or a specific location on the drawer side
to place drawer slide?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in
advance

Rick

IIRC, I put them in the center of the side. Just be consistent.

Check the packaging they came in for dims. I think there are too many
different kinds for anyone to make even a guess. I've used 4 different
kinds over the years & even though they were all bottom-support types, each
one had a different method of location.

I mount the slides flush with the bottom of the drawer and with the
front of the drawer box, which is the inside face of the face frame.
