Determining how to repair broken drawer slides depends on the specific issue. For minor problems, try tightening loose screws or lubricating the slides with silicone spray. If a slide is damaged, you may need to replace it. If the track itself is damaged, replace it by unscrewing it from the cabinet and installing a replacement slide that matches the type and size of the existing one. Consider consulting the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific drawer system.

When determining whether it’s worth the price to repair a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture repair services.
