not resolved!! These drawers are dangerous. How to install drawer stops so the drawers don’t come all the way out? We have to catch the drawer so it doesn’t fall and hurt us.

    What I have done is screw a 2" piece of wood centered on the back of the drawer even with the top of the drawer with one screw. Flip the piece of wood and it creates a stop.

      Ohhh I was hoping you were out there in Hometalk land!👋👋👋

      so,three of these drawers are wide and heavy..33”x8....filled with videos....the others standard..

      will that 2” hold it?

    I would use two pieces of wood maybe even three. Screw them on the inside of the back and flip them up as you put the drawer back in.
