Frequently Asked Questions
What does integrating the runner achieve?
Thin sides and therefore more usable internal width.
A conventional drawer needs a side panel plus a runner beside it.
A metal-sided system combines them.
The space saved appears in every drawer.
Across a run of cabinets that is a meaningful gain.
The side is a formed profile carrying the motion hardware within its own section.
Why is the movement more consistent?
Because runner and side are designed as one component.
Tolerances are controlled by the manufacturer rather than the assembler.
Movement is consistent from drawer to drawer and cabinet to cabinet.
Soft-close and push-to-open are built into the system.
They are not added as separate components.
That consistency is much of what is being bought.
How fast is assembly?
A drawer goes together in a couple of minutes.
The sides clip or screw to a base and a back.
The front attaches with an adjustable connector.
There is no jointing and no clamping.
No cure time is involved.
At volume that assembly speed is the manufacturing argument.
What does front adjustment give?
Precise alignment of drawer fronts after installation.
Height, lateral and tilt adjustment are generally provided.
That allows a run of fronts to be lined up properly.
Achieving the same with a made box means getting the carcase perfect.
Carcases are rarely perfect in practice.
The adjustment absorbs the variation that would otherwise show on the fronts.
Are components interchangeable between makers?
No - the whole system is proprietary.
Sides, backs, fronts, connectors and motion hardware come from one range.
They do not interchange with another manufacturer's parts.
The choice commits the workshop beyond the first order.
Spares have the same constraint.
Long-term availability deserves the same weight as the initial specification.
How much can they carry?
The system's published per-drawer rating, into a suitable carcase.
Ratings vary considerably across a range.
Heavy-duty versions exist for kitchens and workshops.
The carcase has to carry the load too.
A heavily loaded drawer in a weak cabinet fails at the cabinet.
Wide drawers concentrate more load at each fixing.
What sizes are available?
Standard side heights and nominal lengths, with width made to suit.
Side height is chosen from the range's fixed options.
Nominal length matches the runner's travel.
The back panel is cut to set internal width.
Cabinet dimensions therefore have to suit the system's increments.
Designing the carcase around the chosen system is easier than the reverse.
