Question of the Day

Q. I have file drawers that won't stay closed. When I close them, they slowly open to about five inches and stay. Is there a way to tighten them or adjust them so they will stay closed?

Read Answer

A. You could try rearranging the files. Place the heavier file folders at the back of the rack and the lighter smaller folders at the front. If this is not possible, you can use a weight of some sort in the back of the drawer. You may also be able to close the tracks slightly further than present. This would make them tighter and less likely to open of their own accord. Use a pair of pliers and carefully adjust the runners that the rollers roll on. You can even place a piece of tape on the runners to make them less slippery.
