Mainecoons 5,368 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Where does one go to find the higher quality drawer glides, with ball bearings and the kind that allow the drawer to pull all the way out? Either here or GDL. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spacedebris 22 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I got mine at the hardware store in Riberas next to Sunrise Cafe. There are specialty stores in GDL but they would probably charge more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solajijic 326 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 WE buy our s from the fellow in the wood shop on the south lateral off the Carreterra west of 5th of febraro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mainecoons 5,368 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Thank you both for the suggestions I will try both on Monday. Any other ideas? Since these are for repairs in the GDL apartment we got for our Oaxaca students I don't mind going someplace there that really has a selection as it could be more likely they have what I need. Gracias! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ferret 3,021 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 They are called Guias de Cajones. Unfortunately, the Home Depot Website doesn't show them but that doesn't mean they don't have them. It's not a great website. I got this info from the guy who just made kitchen drawers for me. He buys his from a wood supply place in Joco but said that the wood place opposite Casa de Waffle (on the lower lakeside lateral) is owned by his nephew, Elvis, and also has them. If in doubt about the name, take a drawer with a drawer glide with you to confirm what you want. Just got another text... He says Prisa by OXXO in Ajijic has them... as does the hardware store in San Antonio by the Sunrise Café... as does Home Depot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rvanparys 207 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 MC drawer guides are in the hardware section where the screws are at Home Depot. They had a lot of them but I can't comment on the quality... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mainecoons 5,368 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 They are 14 and 16 inch full extension with ball bearings. Part of built in cabinet made in GDL, hopefully not too hard to find. Going out looking in the morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mainecoons 5,368 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 What lumber yard in Ajijic? I know about the guys in Chapala across from Soriana. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solajijic 326 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Elvis on the lateral across from Waffle House in west Ajijic, that is the lumber store. Husband likes that brand best and makes me drawers inside drawers with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He seemed to have a very big selection of these and his prices were great. Thank's for the recommendation, this saved me a lot of running around! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
