The item in my kit

I bought Ulifestar Folding Ring Pulls as part of my camper van equipment.

A drawer front needs a way to pull the finished assembly out of its frame. These folding pulls are part of my purchased storage hardware, where handle projection is a separate choice from the slide mechanism.

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

Lind Kitchen offers another folding-ring handle. LC LICTOP changes to a recessed grip, which uses a different opening and mounting layout.

On the patio during the roof-storage project.
