Hey everyone, I need some advice! The drawer slide on my son's dresser broke, and I'm on the hunt for a replacement. The slides seem a bit specific because there's a little pin that fits into a hole on the bottom of the drawer. The brand is "Joiner" and the model number is 400, but I can't find any information about "Joiner" drawer slides online. I also tried contacting the dresser manufacturer, Dolce Babi, but it turns out they're out of business. Has anyone come across this brand before or know where I might find a replacement?

You could share some pictures of the slide, including both the base and the part on the drawer. If they're not producing that exact model anymore, you might be able to use a comparably-sized slide instead. Just make sure to measure the length and depth. If your drawer has a groove for the runner and a flanged face covering the sides, you might be able to replace it by filling the groove and installing a new runner on top. Just watch the measurements since this may change how the drawer moves. Good luck!
I had a similar situation with an old dresser. If that pin on the slide is removable, you might have more options for replacement. Just make sure to measure carefully to get the right size. Sometimes local hardware stores can help you find something that fits, even if it’s not the exact model. Don’t worry too much; it sounds like there are ways around it!
