How to remove drawers

I need to get the drawers out of the slides to follow some cable and I can't figure out how to get them out. They aren't exactly like mine at home and I'm scared to pull or tug real hard. Any words of advice? This is what the drawer slides look like. Click image for larger version

I'm not certain but don't you push on that black oval shaped "button", on both sides, to release the forward rail from the track?

Pull up or push down on the black plastic pieces extending beyond the outer glide.

My drawer slides look the same as yours. The little black tab on the side, which I can see in the picture, has to be pushed up while you pull or pushed down. One side of mine had to be lifted while the other had to be pushed down. Good luck.

Had mine out the other day. The black skinny plastic skinny fingers need to be raised up with door pulled out and you can then pull the drawer out. I found it best to when want to put the drawer in to have the slices fully in them slide drawer back in the slide rails . Hope this helps

Same with my drawers, the pointy tab needs to be moved up or down and each side is moved in the opposite direction. Move the tab in the direction with the most travel distance, the one in your picture would be moved up. I find it helpful to push the drawer back in a bit after holding the tabs in position and then pull back out.

easy to do

These drawers have that little tab or lever on the sides that you have to lift one side and depress the other to get them to release. Left up, right down or vice versa. It's easy once you get the hang of it.
