Hi all, I new here so not sure if this is posted I the correct places- i have b&q / goodhome drawers, the smaller drawers are fine but the 800mm have a bit of a drooping when fully extended (obviously I have to much weight in them) so im looking for a heavy duty soft close runner replacement ideally one the would just be a straight swap out - if anyone has ever done this or has any advise I would appreciate it. I have searched but can't seem to find a soto one and im not sure about the fitting on others I have seen.
 
You will get some some sag in drawers that wide when fully extended IME.
 
Hi, yes I know and its probably me thats got to much weight in them but I've seen runners advertised that take 100kg fully extended but I don't know anything about the fitment, thats why I was hoping someone may have upgraded and could give advice.
 
I brought a soto one for a 500 unit - a non Band Q unit and my unit was 3 or 4 mm narrower internally than a B and q ones as it was a thicker carcass. and the self close would not work nicely as it was too tight so I routed out 2mm from each side of the inside face of the cabinet where the soto brackets were.
So make sure the cabinet internal is exactly the same.
