Abstract
A method for quickly installing and aligning drawer slides into articles for containing drawers. A magnetized backing strip having a magnetic laminate is attached to the rear panel of the article. Pieces of magnetized sheeting are attached to the rear ends of the mounting brackets at the rear of the drawer slides. The front ends of the drawer slides are loosely attached to the front surfaces of the drawer opening. A drawer is inserted, causing the drawer slides to assume their desired positions. When the drawer is removed, the drawer slides are held in place by magnetic force and can be attached to the desired places on the backing strips.
