Hammer5573 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 I’m just curious to know what kind of drawer stops you’re using when making drawers? I’ve seen a few different types but I’m always looking for new ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 I have just screwed a small block of wood to the back underside of the drawer when possible, sometimes the inside top depends on the design of the drawer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 For fluch front drawers I glue one or two blocks to the rail under the drawer so the drawer front hits them. Alternatlely I clue blocks to the rail guides at the back of the drawer if I have enough room back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer5573 Posted April 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Sorry guys...I mis phrased the question. The question is how you limit the drawer from pulling completely out of the cabinet? In the past I've used a small, narrow piece of wood screwed to the inside back of the drawer which can be rotated upward to stop against the outer drawer blade as I pulled the drawer out; however, I can't use this type on my latest project.

Chestnut Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I usually just screw a small piece of wood to the upper divider. It swings down to catch the back of the drawer. one has to be careful with this method if the divider is very narrow or very wide. Usually I don't though because it can add some complication to the drawer situation if the dust frame doesn't allow for a swinging tab to be installed. My most recent dresser design doesn't really allow for drawer stops to be installed that wouldn't interfere with the drawer operation. The only saving grace is the drawers will start to fall and bind if they are pulled more than 95% of the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my nicer piedes of furniture, I don't use a stop to prevent the drawer from pulling out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Nolan Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 My drawers do not have stops. On most of them I have painted the top of the last inches red to indicate do not pull out beyond here without supporting the drawer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer5573 Posted April 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Has anybody ever heard of using a small door hinge mounted to the drawer blade above the drawer as a stop..? I read this somewhere but I can’t remember how it was done..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 I think that hinge would need to be mounted such that the loose leaf would fold inward as you insert the drawer, and fall into a notch cut in the drawer side when the drawer was pulled out. To remove the drawer, reach inside and hold the hinge leaf out of the notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer5573 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 That makes sense. Maybe I'll try it sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
