I found it doesn\u2019t matter how tight you get that pin in there, it eventually works its way loose and will let the drawer slide out and into whatever is in its way. I did this back in June of 2022 and it has held up well through 30 camping expeditions since then (today is July 30, 2023) requiring one tighten-up a couple months ago.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1392-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1392-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1392-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1392.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pin catch &#8211; prevents booth drawer lock pin from falling out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is literally a hundred ways one could do this. Choose mine, or make your own similar mod based off this idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each drawer will require a bolt, 3 washers, lock washer, nut, and a 1\/2\u201d conduit one hole strap. When it comes to the size of your bolts\/nuts\/washers, like my wife tells me, size doesn\u2019t matter. Just make sure they can slip into the opening of that 1\/2\u201d conduit strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the picture below you\u2019ll find an example of the order in which all hardware will be installed. Picture this as your left-hand side booth drawer, and the pencil is left side outer wall of the booth. Reverse it for the right-hand side.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1390-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1390-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1390-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.basilweb.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_1390.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hardware order &#8211; left side &#8211; pencil is the wall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Required tools &#8211; screwdriver, wrench or socket, some drill bits based off the size hole you\u2019ll be drilling, and possibly a small hole saw if the area you need to put the securing nut on the inside of the drawer support contains a support bracket.
