My rowhouse has a beautiful wood pantry with cabinets and drawers. I am restoring it but I have a problem with the drawers and am looking for advice. The drawers are primitive-in that they are a simple box shape, no lip or framing. When they are pushed in, the sides of the drawer are flush with the cabinet. My issue is that when you pull them out they sag or fall out. There is no mechanism on the sides at all to keep the from falling out of the cabinet when opened and the sides are flush with the cabinet making normal slider kits unusable.

So my question is: Is there a way to retrofit them with some other kid of sliders, even when they pull out flush to the cabinet?
Should I take the front panel of the drawers off and make new drawers with sliders?
What are my options?

Thanks in advance.
