Perplexed (re drawer runners)

Oct 07, 2022 Last reply: 3 years ago 8 Replies

I recently bought some Selmer undermounting full extension drawer runner/slides.



They compride a complex metal part and a small plastic gadget that somehow is responsible for the "push to open" function.



I cannot for the life of me work out how they are supposed to be fitted.



Help!



Oh! Before you say "why didn't you ask the supplier?" I did.



No response.


If you Google for "fitting push to open drawer runners" you'll find some YouTube videos which might help.

They'll probably say RTFM. Umm, did you?

If I knew what RTFM meant, I might have.

Do you mean made by solmer, or sold by solmer? They're probably made by GTA

I can't see much of their website because they seem to hate my cookie settings, maybe you'll have better luck?

I don't like those, the plastic spring bits eventually break off. Mind you on a chest of drawers I have one runner has managed to lose all its balls for some unknown reason. Brian

I have now watched half a dozen YouTube videos so far but none match what I have.

However, after fiddling with the b..y things I realised that though they will "soft-close", they are not "push to open."

Thank you for all the replies everyone.
