Select the Correct Slide Fitting Bar
Choose the Slide Fitting Bar that is closest in size to your measured slide rail thickness.
Prepare the Frame
Place the selected Slide Fitting Bar into the frame "way" where the slide fits.
Tap the Frame Rail
Using a light hammer, gently tap the frame rail to close the "ways" space down to match the slide rail thickness. Ensure that you are tapping evenly and carefully.
