Four Winds 22b - Closet drawer next to slide out

[patran]

The drawer under the closet next to our slide out won't stay shut. Tried to fix it but nothing worked. It's out of alignment. Should we take it to the dealer or cabinet maker?

How did you try to fix it?
Did you look at the catch on the bottom?
Sometimes they break.
Sometimes the catch is closed when it's not supposed to be.
Sometimes the screws get loose and the catch is mis-aligned.

This is the type of RV drawer catch that Ted is describing. The drawer part can break &/or the cabinet part can become closed (and thus no longer hold the drawer part).

Q: How did you try to fix it?
A: I took the drawer completely out and tightened all the screws

Q: Did you look at the catch on the bottom?
A: I didn't but will do that to see if it is broken. There may be a misalignment.
Thanks!

The Four Winds 22b - The drawer slides on the closet drawer next to slide out broke. Where can I buy new ones to replace? Looked at Lowes and the ones in stock are wrong ones

Unless you can find the manufacturer & item number of the original drawer guides and figure where to buy replacement guides you'd need to buy a whole new set and replace both the drawer part & the cabinet part (both sides so the drawer moves evenly). Measure the length of the drawer and buy new ones that size (or as close to it as you can get without them being longer). Most of the drawer guides I've seen in RVs are rather cheaply made. Even the lower priced guides from the big box stores will be better quality. I also assume they are full extension - this gives you easier access to the entire drawer contents.

I bought both 5 lb and 10 lb pulls from Amazon. Packs of 10.
