    For the piece attached to the drawer, install both screws through the oval holes so you don't need to find the perfect spot to drill and it's possible to make adjustments later.

    There is a hook piece and it is spring loaded. As you pull the drawer out, the hook piece sets the spring. When you close, the hook catches the piece again, and the spring will pull the drawer in softly. Soft and slow 🤣
