Simple fix for drawer woes
>>FROM PAGE 2
times, and now the pulls
have become stripped. Luckily, the fix for a stripped drawer pull is rela- tively easy. Simply remove the drawer pull, place a small piece of wood inside, and then reinstall it. Marshall Hickox of Homeworks Con- struction suggests using a toothpick or even cutting a
sliver from a chopstick.
“I find the right chopstick will allow you to peel off a very thin piece,” he said. “Thinner
than a toothpick even!” After you find the right size, make sure to cut it so that it sits flush with the drawer pull. Dab it in wood glue before placing it in- side. Hickox recommends checking manufacturer instructions for the wood
glue first as some require water to activate. Once the glue dries, you can reinstall the pull.
“If it’s the type of pull that has a nut and a machined screw, not a wooden screw, you can try a liberal amount of thread lock,” Hickox said. “It’s a very light glue that you apply to the threaded screw that will lock it into the nut or threaded receiver.”
According to Hickox, thread lock is designed so that, with some added pressure, you can remove the screw without breaking anything. If the stripping is severe, he recommends try- ing a wood sliver inside this type of pull as well.
