I'm guessing that the drawer half of the guide fits into a dado the length
of the drawer box? This is not a commonly available fitment. If the drawer
box is 1" narrower than the opening in the dresser then it would be easy to
adapt any of the commonly available drawer guides. In that case you might
need to make a filler piece to fill in the dado.
A photo of the drawer guides would help.
