Narrow drawer runners

Jan 06, 2012 3 Replies

Sometime over the festive season one of my kitchen drawers had a bit too much to drink (...) and fell off its runners. We'd spotted the problem a while ago when ball bearings started appearing on the floor, underfoot so-to-speak.



Anyhoo, the existing runners are broke.



No problem, get new runners... problem is the gap between the drawer edge and the carcass is


Ebay has sorted me out in the past. They tend to be named after the height of the groove in the side of the drawer. Mine were "27mm Grooved ball bearing drawer runners 278 - 452mm" where that is the min and max extension. You could ask who made the kitchen, but it's worth a couple of quid based on the height of the groove - they aren't lkley to have used anything fancy.

Some of Accuride's runners are 9.5mm. Look for the ones with lower maximum weight. (Look on Accuride's website or Farnell for part numbers, but don't necessarily buy from there)

Thanks, that put me in the right direction.

There's a very useful size guide here:
