Hi, I'm looking to replace some drawers and add new drawer fronts. I have seen the ones from Screwfix. They only have 3 sides and a bottom. Do I need to add an inner drawer front, then add a front to match the rest of the doors to that or should add the matching drawer front straight to the drawer body? Also measuring the matching drawer front. Are the measurements the full width of the base unit size ie 500mm?
Thanks

No.

Yes. I think the drawer body comes with a couple of brackets that you fit onto the drawer front, and then the body clips to those. Or something like that.

I think a drawer front for a 500mm unit will be about 495mm, but I’m not completely sure about that.
