how does this product connect to the drawer - or does it? I am worried my knives may slide around too muchy

It's loose inside the drawer. I had connected it wide enough that it touches the sides of the drawer. It will move a little, but you can put double sided tape on the bottom if you want it to stay in place.

It does not connect to the drawer. I use double sided tape to keep it in place.

It doesnt connect to the drawer and your knives will slide around. Really don't recommend it for that exact reason ;(

No, they do not connect to the drawer. We were thinking of doing double stick tape to adhere it to the side of the drawer.

I place the spoons and forks handles down. This leaves the 4 knives which I strategically place handles up in the tallest portion. It's worth the effort :)

The pieces are held so tightly I don't see how they would slide around. Depending on the size of the drawer the whole tray might move but the pieces themselves would be secure. If the tray slides double sided sticky tape or some kind of sticky material should keep it in place.

I did - works great. The top metal mesh plate of the large has a little lip around it that keeps the 'feet' of the unit above it in line. There are also two screws at the two rear 'posts' that you can screw down into that mesh plate so it doesn't tip forward when extending the drawer.

There is a catching mechanism that will hold then in. When a drawer slides in all the way it drops down into an indent. To open the drawer, just lift slightly before pulling.

There is a little switch in the slot where knife pivots. Push it aside where it holds the blade safely open and then push the blade closed.

Rosemary,The front of the unit slides out like a drawer. Little flats on each side is where you grip it. Please don't feel stupid,NOrm

My drawers are 2 and 3/4 inches high. All of my regular sized steak knives for perfectly (I have miracle blade sets). The bigger miracle blade knives for fileting were a little too tall so I just didn't put them in all the way and they hang off the front a little bit, but everything fits! This way, I can still close all my drawers. I love how organized it always is! The butcher knives however, are definitely too tall I'd say, I put those on the side next to my two bamboo knife holders.

No, not at all. I just remodeled my entire kitchen with new cabinets and the little drawer for the silverware was so small I had trouble finding a silverware holder that would fit. It fits perfectly and I am not sure how it would damage the drawer, but it did nicely for me.

I would go by the measure of the opening for the drawer. My drawer side is 2.5 inches high and some of the handles to my knifes stick up higher than this. But the opening for my drawer is just under 4 inches and everything goes in smoothly. The blades will fit into the slots, so none of the blade on my knifes are higher than the block. If your drawer opening is 3 inches and your knife handles are not supper thick, than I think you shouldn't have a problem. Hope this helps.

It attaches with double sided foam tape as well as screws. The screws anchored it securely to my 1/2" door without going through. I don't recall what their length is. Just be sure to mount it low enough so the knife handles don't hit the cabinet frame. It is a fantastic solution to the problem of a bunch of loose sharp knives in the utensil drawer.

I put all my knives in a lined drawer. I don't use knife holders. I do love these knives.

My unit was the same - probably due to the close clearances of the design. I'm planning on using a small dab of petroleum jelly along the runners to see if that helps. In my case, it's a good thing - helps ensure the drawer isn't bumped and comes out accidentally.

I believe it is a universal drawer support and in some cases does slip over a center wood drawer support.

I have never had the silverware slip out, but I usually use it for larger utensils. However, when I do put regular silverware in there, it stays in there. I don't think you need to worry about it.

My dishwasher has a special rack with places for knives--my stand up knives do not fall through; the handle is in such a position that it is opposite the blade. No problems so far.

Like some of the other posters said, the sliding mechanism is going to move out. I think just shimming the base of the track would be a good idea. Might limit what items you can actually put in the drawer, though, height-wise.
