will these work for a drawer from a metal filing cabinet?

It will take mounting spacing blocks on the sides of the cabinet. Metal screws in from the outside to do that would impair the appearance of the cabinet but that's a matter of choice. Then attaching to metal drawers, but not impossible. So yes it is doable. I agree though with the other answer that they were designed for wooden drawers.

I have 2 different style metal cabinets in my computer room, I would not use these on either one as a replacement. 'HON' makes both styles go to your manufacturer for replacements. I don't think these will work for you.

The slides are heavy enough to carry the load and they work very well,smooth. The hard part will be attaching them to metal sides and drawers. I used them in a wooden chest of drawers and attached them with #6x3/4 sheet metal screws that came with the slides, and they work great

They work well in a wooden cabinet and are really great. They were not made for a metal cabinet. I hope this helps.

I would think it would as long as you got the spacing just right so that the weight of the drawer was distributed somewhat evenly between the two slides on each side.

Never thought to try that... Just checked though and they are not strong enough for that. They stick together very well in the drawer though so it's always easy to find which one you need.

Since these require a self closing / spring assist hinge I don't believe they will work with a drawer although I do have them on a sink pull out that is spring assisted. Drawers require a soft close that pulls in when closed. These require pressure to fully compress.You could look into new Drawer Glides that are Soft Close as we did for ours. They are more expensive but do what you want

I would say yes they would work. We have these on the garbage, bathroom cabinets, etc

I would think they would work if you apply the sticky tape as described to the correct sides, long tape on long side and short tape on short side as shown on manufacturers web page, they should work just fine. However remember the surface for which you use it on could be damaged if the cabinets are pressed wood or other pre manufactured wood. I think the Benefits outweigh that problem though.

I don't believe it would. The "sticky" part on each end is a joke and the width of the ends are so thin that getting them to actually stack and then not knocking it out of place every time you access the drawer seems impossible to me.

Maybe, is the only answer I can provide. My letter hanging file frame went into a standard metal file cabinet which is assured to fit standard letter size frames. I measured the inside of the frame which is 12" but the outside is about 12 1/4" to 12 1/2". If there is some room for the frame it will be okay. If the letter size manila folders scrape the inside of the drawer, probably not. Sorry to be so ambiguous.

USB cables...probably not, bolts, yes and markers, it depends. The drawers are 2" wide, 5.25" deep and about 1.5 inches high, so they're better suited for small items.

No, not standing up as you put them in a file cabinet. The top tab will not allow the top to close. Of course, there would be plenty of room to lay them down, but probably not what you are trying to do. Great idea though. The drawer is just under 8-1/2 inches deep. Hope that helps. I do love the table!!

I don't believe it would and I am not going to ruin mine by trying. They are not designed for metal, especially that thick.

I think they would be very strong. I only have 1 of these magnets, and it is very powerful. If I stick it to a metal door jam or metal pipe, it is EXTREMELY difficult to remove. I have placed a metal file on top of a 3/4" thick c-top and with the magnet on the underside of the top it moves the file easily. I've also stuck it to my 24' tape measure hanging on my jean pocket and then stuck my 18 volt Hitachi cordless drill to "It". Just examples of how powerful this magnet is. I use it to find metal studs in the wall for installing cabinets in the commercial field, and absolutely love it. I don't know if this helps you but with the 2 magnets pulling toward each other on the 1" glass with the pad between, I think it would work.

It could work, its a little flimsy only because it's just two end pieces and the little metal pieces for the sides that make it fit together but if you get it screwed together tightly I think it would work for you. I used mine in the drawers, they are also made to be customized to fit if they are too long for the drawer. Hope that helps!

I bought them both for my kitchen "junk drawer" as well as a few for my desk drawers. I think they are great for desks!

I believe they will but you would have to use gentle pressure to get them in. Perhaps the smallest size would work best in soft wood.

I think it would work fine, but would not recommend it if you were going to put a lot of heavy objects in the drawer. I don't think they would hold up to the weight over time.
