Need Info for Blum T560H5500 drawer slide.

Thanks,



David.


David I have the instruction sheet for the 562H series but not the 560H series. If the 560H series uses the left and right locking devices I suspect they will be similar. Now what follows may not work for your slides so proceed with caution: Make the width of your drawer box 3/8" less than the width of the opening. (i.e. you need 3/16" clearance on each side.)

When cutting the dado for the drawer bottom move it up from the bottom of the drawer box 1/2". As for the length of the box snap one of the locking devices onto the front of the slide and measure the distance from the end of the locking device back to the little spear that needs to go into a 1/4" hole drilled into the back of the drawer. Add 1/4" to get the length of your drawer box from the back of the front to the back of the back. The
