Easy and relative inexpensive way to reinforce your IKEA ALEX drawer. Needed if you use the drawer to organise screws etc.
The connector is made to fit with GAH-Alberts 474409 aluminium U-profil 20x10 mm. Cost 4 Euro/1 meter at Amazon.
As you can adjust the length of the profile you can probably use the same parts to reinforce other type of drawers.
