Adding the new style of casters to the old style of Alex drawers
Haven't looked at the bottoms of my Alex drawers in years, but I decided to add casters. Ordered the casters and discovered that there was a design updates somewhere along the line.
My drawers had a single peg to attach casters instead of the four pre-drilled holes that the new style has. I imagine this was updated because a single pressure-fit caster would wiggle loose or tear through the corner of the particle board.
I drilled my own holes and used the Phillips head screws included with the caster kit. Easy peasy, but it did require a drill.
