Removing IKEA kitchen drawers
I want to retrofit my IKEA kitchen with those soft-closing buffers that
B&Q sell, but I need to get the drawers out to drill the holes to take them and I cannot see how to release the drawer stop mechanism on the runners. I've tried lifting the drawers as I pull them out, and felt around for any latch release buttons or levers, but no luck. Can anyone help? The kitchen's around 6 months old, silver-coloured/metal sided drawer boxes, Blum runners, if that helps. Sadly I no longer have the assembly instructions. TIA -- Tony |

Ikea do the soft closing buffers and I reckon they will be alot easier to
install than trying to retro fit. The draws do come out you just pull all the way out then lift slightly up. Sometimes it is a bit hard, just been taking the draws out of my Ikea kitchen.

(Though fitting the B&Q ones is easy enough, it just needs a (straight) hole in the carcase edge deep enough to take the pneumatic cylinder.) The draws do come out you just pull all the way out then lift slightly up. Thanks, that gave me the confidence to use the necessary welly and they came out fine. Just needed to know that I was doing the right thing... -- Tony |
