Desk Drawer Stuck Closed?

Desk Drawer Stuck Closed - three drawers on a white and gold trim deskThe desk is a very old French provincial style. I took the drawers out to move it and when putting them back, one didn't go in correctly. Now it doesn't budge when I pull. There is nothing blocking from inside contents. I can jiggle it up and down, but it does not pull out at all. Any suggestions out there I would be grateful.

Thanks and be safe!

Track is either bent or broken. Try lifting up and pulling at the same time to remove drawer. Once out look inside the frame to see what is out of alinement. If bent see if you can reshape(if made out of aluminum) and add a little oil for the track. It broken, replace!

It sounds like you have it stuck on the tracks on both side. You can try to remove the other two draws first on either side of the stuck drawer and take a flashlight to look inside. Hopefully there is not wood between each of the drawers to make it easier for you to work. You will need to try and empty out the contents of the draw to take a look at the hinges. You can try to spray a little WD40 down the side of the drawer to get some on the hinges if you have the rollers out of place.

Older drawers a lot of times have a bracket on the bottom side of the drawer that slide into a center piece. If this is your case try to remote the screws from the inside of the draw to take off the drawer to make it easier to work on the bracket to get it unstuck.
