IKEA Replacement Drawer Slides

When an IKEA drawer stops gliding smoothly, the fix is straightforward — if you have the right slide. At Lyons Hardware Tree, we've stocked hard-to-find furniture hardware since 1987, including a curated selection of replacement drawer slides sized and styled to fit IKEA cabinetry and furniture.

Finding the Right Replacement Slide

IKEA uses several slide formats across their product lines. Before ordering, measure your existing slide's length, width, and mounting style (side-mount vs. bottom-mount). Most IKEA drawers use a light-duty, bottom-mount or epoxy-coated side-mount slide in the 17"–22" range. If you're unsure which slide you need, browse our full drawer slide collection or contact us — we're happy to help you match by measurement.

Why Replace Instead of Replace the Whole Drawer?

Significantly lower cost than buying a new IKEA unit
Extends the life of solid-wood or veneer IKEA furniture worth keeping
Faster fix — slides ship quickly and install in minutes
Reduces waste from discarding otherwise functional furniture

Installation & Compatibility

Our replacement slides are designed to match common IKEA boring patterns and drawer box dimensions. Each product listing includes length, load rating, and mounting type. Most installations require only a screwdriver and take under 15 minutes per drawer.

Need help identifying your slide or sourcing a specific size? Email us at info@hardwaretree.com or call 615-210-7053 — we've been matching customers to the right hardware for over 35 years.

Remove the drawer and locate the existing slide on the drawer box or cabinet frame. Measure the full length of the slide from end to end. Note whether it is a side-mount (attached to the side of the drawer box) or bottom-mount (attached underneath). Also measure the slide width and check the screw hole spacing. Bring these measurements when contacting us and we can confirm the correct replacement.

Our replacement slides are built for daily use in residential furniture. Steel construction with smooth-rolling nylon or ball-bearing mechanisms ensures consistent operation over years of use. Load ratings vary by model — check individual product listings for weight capacity, which typically ranges from 35 lbs to 100 lbs per pair.
