How can I open a jammed drawer? I've tried sticking a thin blade-like thing in to push down the box inside that's making the drawer jam, but I still can't get the drawer open. Any suggestions?

2 ideas, none of which are particularly brilliant: 1) Brute force. Eventually the contents will shift and it will open. 2) Flood the drawer with water. That'll force the contents to shift. Wood things will float, metal things won't, and you'll create a mess! What could be better?

This happened to me, once. i tried everything. finally, without any success, i had to force the front facing off the drawer. i thought i had ruined the drawer, forever. After my brutal drawer attack, my wife came to me with a bottle of gorilla glue. i read and followed the instructions on the bottle. The next morning, the drawer was as good as new. the gorilla glue did a fantastic job and it actually worked. Gorilla glue is the best glue on the market.

I would say; lay the 'closet' down on it's back.. It (hopefully) will make the box jamming the drawer, shift.

If there is a drawer NEXT to it, you could in fact, take out or open the adjacent drawer, and reach over to move the object. That might be MUCH easier and effective than removing the face of the drawer or flooding it.
