If you’re doing some home updates or repairs, one of the things you may want to do is install new drawers. For this, you’ll new drawer rails. There are several different options, but most people use telescopic rails (Teleskopschienen) for their drawers. These rails roll outward, telescoping out so you can get into the very back of the drawer. For this reason, telescopic rails are one of the most useful pieces of hardware for your kitchen, bathroom, and any other area where you need to roll out a drawer to get into the space.

 

There are a number of different places to find rails that telescope out. The first place, obviously, is a home improvement store. These stores sell all kinds of different hardware, including rails, drawer knobs, extensions, and, naturally, telescoping rails. They often sell different sized rails or different lengths, so you’re almost guaranteed to find what you need.

 

Another place to look for drawer rails (Schubladenführung) is online. There are many home improvement stores that have online stores, plus there are some stores that are only online. You may be able to find a better deal online, or you might find a site that has more options. However, you won’t be able to physically examine the drawer rails, and sometimes, the websites don’t offer as many details or measurements as actual stores do.

Hardware stores are another good place to find telescoping drawer rails. They often have just as many options as home improvement stores. Sometimes, their prices are lower, too. If you’re not sure what type of telescoping rails you need for your projects, the assistants at these hardware stores (and at home improvement stores, too) can often provide you with very knowledgeable answers. All you have to do is describe the project you’re working on and they can point you towards the right rails to use.
