Drawers

Installing some drawer slides on an old kitchen cabinets but when I
install the drawers left corner sticks out further than the right when
closed. I am sure the cabinets are to blame, for I know my drawers are
square. I thought I read a post on how to correct this with shims in
an earlier post but cannot find it. Anybody have any ideas?

Check to be sure the front of the slides are lined up in the front of
the cabinet. If they are flush make sure they are both flush or at
least both the same. If that's not the problem, and the front left
side of your drawer hanging out, you will need to move the back of the
drawer guides in the opposite direction (to the right). Depending on
how they are attached, you may be able to put something behind one
guide but the other side might be a little more tricky.
