Pieces of magnetized sheeting are attached to the rear ends of the mounting brackets at the rear of the drawer slides. The front ends of the drawer slides are loosely attached to the front surfaces of the drawer opening. A drawer is inserted, causing the drawer slides to assume their desired positions.
