The item in my kit

I bought KCOLVSION 36-Inch Locking Drawer Slides as part of my camper van equipment.

Drawer travel and the depth of the surrounding frame are linked design choices. The thirty-six-inch slides are a longer purchased set in my storage kit, alongside the shorter slide hardware.

Where it fits my build

I built the storage-bin drawer frame on the patio from a measured layout. I joined the timber, added inside corner brackets and fitted the base before moving on to the lining.

I cut the rubber mat with scissors, cleaned the wood and used spray adhesive in sections with a roller. Screws and washers attached the mat, and the slides joined the drawer to its surrounding cabinet frame.

My build notes

The drawer went through several distinct stages before it could slide in the cabinet. The photographs show the exposed frame first and the lined drawer later, making the changes in access and fastening positions visible.

Measuring, framing, lining and slide installation were separate stages of the drawer assembly.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

The twenty-inch KCOLVSION set offers a shorter locking format. The AOLISHENG set provides another slide assembly, making rail length and mounting layout central to the comparison.

On the patio during the roof-storage project.
