Fitting B&Q drawers to 15mm kitchen cabinets

[DamonCavangh]

Hello. So i purchased a 600mm deep drawer as a test for my 600mm cabinet, which has 15mm instead of 18mm frame width. So when i fit the drawer it seems to be sticky. And does not open or close smooth. Do i need to place 3mm spacer between the drawer slider and the cabinet to enable it to work?

Sure are you buying. If i am going down that road it wont be B&Q. Not interest in spending £10k on kitchen cabinet right now.

Not very helpful in answering my question.

Try using washers on screws to pack it out, you may need slightly longer screws.

Thank you George, I can get 3mm rubber spacers, I will get a set and test again. Good point on the longer screws, would you know where I could get the same screws that are used today but longer. I will go a search and see what I can find.
