Drawer runners
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 |

Er, I dont know... this is what I looked at: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/11859/...CNSCSTHZOSFEY# 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. NT |

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 |
