- Normal drawers slides require that the drawers be 1" less than the width of the opening, but make them 1-1/16" thinner instead because if they are an extra 1/16" too thin, you can shim the slides if needed.
If they are 1/16" too wide, they may bind and there is little you can do about it except build a new drawer.
- Use fixture to mount the slides to inside the cabinets, clamp it to the face-frame of the cabinet and use a self-centering bit to drill the pilot holes for the slides.
There are two sets of holes - one for drawers and the other for shelves (they need to sit back behind the doors).
You can get self-centering bits from any hardware or building store; they are typically used for drilling hinges on doors.
