Hi
I've gotta fix a broken drawer runner. I assume a bottom fix one would
be easier to retrofit, is that right? I've got clear access
underneath, no side access. I've not much experience with these. How
do you get the alignment precisely right?
cheers, NT
Are you talking about fitting one of the new-fangled
metal-slidey-bits-with-wheels?
Er, I dont know... this is what I looked at:
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/11859/...ttings/Drawer-...
or
http://tinyurl.com/59gb8s
I'd try to identify the manufacturer and look to their documentation.
Certainly works with other Blum products. So far I have managed to get
the alignment right by using the holes provided by the self-assemly
manufactuerer. :-)
Incidentally, I do have a number of such runners (both drawer and
cabinet parts) in the shed. Of course, they are bound to be the wrong
make/size/type - but I could put a pair into a jiffy bag... If you wish
to avail yourself of this once-in-a-lifetime offer, suggest private mail.
Right, thank you, I'll go measure it tomorrow. I spose I'll just have
to use my 3 hands and 4 eyes to line the drawer up while holding the
runner and fixing it underneath.

I know for sure I have several in the style of the Drawer Sys 450 linked
on that page (but they came off a large unit I recently took to the tip
- not from SF - and are now in box in the way in my shed). Perfect
condition. I am not sure what I have in the way of bottom fix - but
definitely some, somewhere.


Right, ta. I dont think I'd be able to aline it properly with a
standard side mount runner, so will go with a bottom one. I dont have
your addy, meow doesnt any more, and I dont want to put an addy here,
so do you want to drop me a line at ukdiy at mailinator dott com

cheers,
NT

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
