DIY Doctor Drawer Repair Kit for Sagging Kitchen Drawers, 3 Pack

I got a vanity set that my parents were getting rid of, and all six drawers were in poor shape—sagging bottoms and bowed backs. I wasn't sure if it would work, but I was pleasantly surprised! Feeding the ribbon through the brackets was tedious, but as long as you look at the back of the box and see how to feed the ribbon, it's not that bad. Depending on how tightly you make the ribbon and how much you plan on filling the drawers, it seems pretty stable. Definitely worth the time, effort, and money compared to spending a couple of hundred dollars on a brand new vanity.

I am guilty of stuffing my ikea dressers to the max, these brought my dresser back to life. Easy to install, could not recommend more.

The drawer bottoms in my 40" wide IKEA Malm cabinet all sag. The front panel bows out and bottoms fall out of their slot. This kit is the perfect cure! It took me 30 minutes to repair four drawers. NOTE: The supplied hardware is junk! The screws are too long for IKEA drawer fronts. If you use them, they'll poke thru the drawer. In addition, the screw heads are soft and deform when driving in. Get #6 x 1/2" screws (3 per drawer) and this system will work great for you.

I actually could not believe this worked so well. The drawer had a sagging bottom but after using this, it is now tight and fully usable again. I did follow a video to make sure i did it right but it was pretty easy

I had multiple drawer chests and sagging of drawers is a problem i faced for a long time. I was excited when I saw this product on Amazon. I thought it will be the solution to the sagging problem BUT i was disappointed after fixing this at the bottom of the drawer. I faced 3 issues: 1. In first picture you can see there is a gap after you fix it. If there is gap then sagging will continue. This is not going to support the drawer base 2. Fixing is not easy. The product doesn't tighten properly and is not easy to fit 3. The screws provided are really bad. For a product like this, screws should be small so that it doesn't come out of other side. See second picture. There was a crack visible on the front of the drawer and it almost spoiled the drawer body. I am disappointed by my purchase. This is not a true doctor for the drawer. I won't be doing a justice if I don't share how i fixed the drawers eventually. I ordered a support bracket (part no 131294) from Ikea with screws - (part no 105344). It worked and it a solid support to the drawer base. See picture no. 3 and 4. The support bar is easy to install and sturdy. Alternatively, you can try supporting / mending wedges. They are definitely better than this product where there is no direct contact with drawer base.

These work as advertised. No instructions inside but a few YouTube videos help. I do wish they had pointed out that the brackets are different. I used two of the same brackets on the first drawer. I'll change it out later. I reversed the threading of the strap so it was more flush to the drawer. No more saggy drawers 😜 Much better solution than other options I saw on YouTube. If this chick can install them, anyone can. You just need a drill with a small bit for pilot holes and a screwdriver or Philips bit to screw in the screws and a little patience.

For something that is advertised as super easy to install and with a super quick youtube video, this is actually misleadingly difficult. Two people are advised. For one: screws came are cheap - not magnetic and not driving screws so you need a drill. My drawer only had 1 cm from the bottom, so I couldn't even use the drill since I couldn't get it parallel. I ended up buying driving screws in order to make this work. Secondly, the strap is very hard and tricky to get taut and requires some patience since the level of tautness directly correlates to the strength of this whole gizmo. All in all, probably more trouble than it was worth for ikea drawers. Next time, I'll just buy a new set.

Bought one of these kits over a year ago so it was an obvs choice when I needed another repair on the same dresser. I load my dressers with lots of heavy clothes and this ikea dresser was made of paper so it really sags then eventually the bottom falls out. These straps are pretty simple to install and they def hold up. A pc of wood would work just as good but this was something I could do without any help and that’s worth the extra few bucks for me.

Ho provato il DIY Doctor Kit Riparazione Cassetti e devo dire che funziona davvero bene. I pezzi sono di buona qualità e facili da montare, anche se non sei un esperto di fai-da-te. Ho riparato cassetti di cucina e della camera da letto che erano rotti o instabili, e ora scorrono perfettamente senza problemi. Le istruzioni sono chiare e intuitive, e in pochi minuti il lavoro è fatto. È un ottimo kit per risparmiare tempo e soldi invece di sostituire interi cassetti. Consiglio questo prodotto a chi vuole una soluzione rapida e duratura per cassetti danneggiati.

Stopped drawer from buckling. Good purchase.

Funktioniert super und ist in 5 Minuten erledigt!

peccato non averli scoperti prima. Sono efficaci e facili da montare. I tiranti li puoi regolare anche in base al tipo di materiale del cassetto e alle condizioni di montaggio (viti troppo vicine al bordo, o materiale del cassetto fragile ecc). La cinghia è robusta e indistruttibile ma è già la soluzione in sé che merita 5 stelle. Con questo sistema avrete definitivamente risolto il problema di molti cassetti (scadenti) il cui fondo non sta mai in sede.

Creo que estos tirantes son la solución definitiva son fáciles de instalar y me da la sensación de duraderos. Hasta ahora tenía que estar reparando las soluciones que improvisaba cada 3 o 4 años. Una sugerencia antes de instalar y para que resulte más fácil, calentar los flejes con una pistola de aire caliente o un secapelos para poder enderezarlos puesto que vienen en un rollo muy pequeño como si fuesen un muelle.
