Req 6h — Drawer and Cabinet Hardware
6h.
Fix a drawer slide or fix/replace cabinet pulls.
When a drawer sticks or a cabinet pull starts loosening, people often keep using it until the damage gets worse. This requirement teaches a better habit: address hardware problems while they are still small and before screw holes, slides, or drawer faces wear out further.
What to Notice
- Is the drawer rubbing because the slide is damaged, loose, or dirty?
- Is the pull loose because screws backed out, or because the mounting holes are worn?
- Does the hardware line up correctly after the repair?
This job is about function and neatness at the same time. A drawer that closes smoothly and a pull that sits straight both show careful work.
Next, the guide turns from hands-on repairs to future paths — either careers in the field or ways to build these skills into a long-term hobby.
