Why won’t my drawers fit in the drawer slides anymore?

Not sure if the wood has moved or what, but I have a clothes armoire with two drawers at the bottom and they no longer fit in the drawer slides. They keep slipping out on one side. I have inch side mount metal drawer slides which I just replaces because I thought that was the problem. Could it be that the frame has moved and has widened the armoire? My son used to hang on the doors like a monkey when he was younger which may have done that. I don’t want to empty it out and start pounding on it if that’s not the problem.

Update:

I switched the drawers around. It’s not that.

  • My assumption is that something has warped the frame or doors so they no longer align properly. Without seeing the armoire it is hard to troubleshoot.

  • You expanded the wood. Oh no. Let them dry another day. Put them in front of a fan to speed up the drying time. You’ll have to lightly sand then down maybe? Or you can have new drawers made.

    I have no idea why ?
