Not sure if this is the right forum...
Been mooiching around a few kitchen showrooms, rather like the soft-close drawer runners. Blum seem to be the best make (?)
Our kitchen fittings were made in 1972. Solid elm. The drawers are like the drawers in a Victorian chest of drawers, they sit on wooden runners with wooden cheeks.
Peering at the soft-close runners, the sort that fit on the side are no good to me, but those that that fit underneath, it looks as if I might be able to fit them, perhaps need to raise the drawer bottoms to accomodate the runner mechanism.
The drawers are properly dovetailed and glued, the bottoms are grooved into the front & sides. Might be kinda fiddly to alter but not impossible.
Anyone done this?
Any tips?
