If your kitchen drawers are giving you trouble, there are several things you can do to repair them. If your kitchen drawer pulls or handles are loose, the drawer falls off the track, hard to open, or difficult to slide, you can make repairs yourself rather than hiring a carpenter to make the repairs.

Repairing drawer pulls:

If your drawer pulls will not tighten with a screwdriver, you may need to replace the screws or the drawer pull itself.

Tighten loose drawer pulls or handles by filling the worn screw holes with wood putty.
Wipe off any excess putty with a damp cloth.
When the putty is dry, drill a pilot hole in the putty. Use a drill bit that is the same size as the screw. This should make the area tight and provide a solid base for the drawer pull.

How to repair drawers that have fallen off their track:

Remove the drawer and set it aside.
Look at the drawer tracks. Many metal tracks often get bent or misshaped. There is an easy way to repair these. Take a small piece of wood and place it behind the track. Use screws to hold it in place. This should straighten out the track and eliminate the problem.
Reinstall the drawer.

A sticky drawer:

A sticky drawer can be repaired simply by lubricating the track with regular SOAP. Apply the soap to the track and slide the drawer in and out several times.
If this does not fix the sticky drawer it may need some light sanding of the track.
