Practical guides for sticking wooden drawers and squeaky furniture, from the furniture restorers behind Glideator. Start by identifying the problem, then choose the right application or repair.
How to Make Wooden Drawers Slide Easier
Find the wooden contact surfaces, clean the runners, and apply enough Glideator to cover them. Includes a drawer demonstration and a table to help distinguish friction from a fit or support problem.
How to Fix Squeaky Wooden Furniture Joints
Locate the sound, check whether the furniture is sound, and lubricate accessible areas where wood rubs against wood. Watch our stool demonstration and learn when a loose joint needs repair.
Why Wooden Drawers Still Stick After Lubricating
Check coverage, debris, swelling, alignment, and damaged runners. Learn when adding more lubricant will not solve the problem.
Bringing an Old Dresser Back to Life
Assess a dresser’s condition and decide which parts need cleaning, lubrication, or help from a furniture restorer.
Choose your Glideator
Glideator Drawer Lubricant comes in 4 ounce and 8 ounce jars with the same formula. The Starter Kit includes a 4 ounce jar and an empty Glide Injector for accessible narrow contact areas. Free shipping to USA addresses.
Read the label before use and test in a hidden area, especially on antiques or valuable furniture. Lubrication reduces friction; damaged or unstable furniture needs repair.
