I attached steel right-angle brackets inside the timber storage-bin drawer frame. The close-up photographs show the brackets and screws before I lined the drawer with rubber mat.

Why I bought it
The drawer began as a timber box frame on the patio, within the roof-storage project. The corners needed their own fastening stage before I moved on to the base and lining.
The steel L-angle brackets were included in my materials. My diary records fitting galvanized right-angle brackets inside the frame with one-inch screws.
How I used it in my camper van
I measured and cut the timber, drilled holes and screwed the frame together. I then drilled and fastened the angle brackets inside the corners.
After assembling the frame and base, I cut rubber mat, cleaned the wood and applied spray adhesive in sections. Screws and washers attached the lining, and the drawer slides joined the drawer to the cabinet frame.

My review
The bracket photos capture an intermediate stage that the finished lining would partly cover. They show how the inside corners were put together before the mat went in.
I think of the corner hardware, base, lining and slides as separate parts of the drawer job. Each stage changed what I could reach next, so recording the exposed frame was useful.
The corner attachments were visible during assembly before the rubber lining covered more of the frame.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The Simpson ABR255 uses a formed angle with multiple fastening holes. The LuckIn braces use a narrower stainless L-shape and come with screws. Leg width, hole arrangement and the space occupied inside a corner distinguish these bracket formats.
Simpson Strong-Tie ABR255 Angle
This formed metal angle provides two faces for joining components at a corner. Its holes provide fastening positions along each face.
These stainless-steel L-braces provide right-angle connections between components. Their drilled legs and included screws provide a compact corner-fastening format.
