It’s worth taking the time to fully understand the 3 dimensional adjustment available on modern full extension soft close drawer runners. With this style of runner the drawer box floats on top of the concealer runners with a wide range of possible adjustments to help you achieve a precise fit and perfect gaps with the frontage.

This video has been incredibly helpful to me. First time I’m using the Blum slides. I really appreciate the way you’ve clarified each of the adjustments.

Intalling the tip on add on will give you fron back adjustability on movento runners

@Alastair_Freebird 13 дней назад

Do you mean it adds forward and back position adjustment?

Hi Alex another great video thanks. Have you ever done a video on fitting said runners in a carcass?

@Alastair_Freebird 3 года назад

To be honest I’m not sure if I have!

Great video! How do you accurately line up your domino locations on your fronts and boxes?

@Alastair_Freebird 3 года назад

I think what I did on this one was lay the frontage down flat and position the drawer box accurately on top of it based on measurements then I dominoed right through both in discrete locations to us for lining it up when installing

@ChickenDinnerz 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. I am building a tall boy with six drawers and wondered if I could use these runners. Ideally I won't have any platforms for the drawers and will just fit the runners to the sides of the cabinet carcass. Do you think that would work? Many thanks.

@Alastair_Freebird 2 года назад

Yes definitely they are made for screwing to the sides and don’t actually need to sit on the bottom

@Sherlockly 2 года назад

Do you use 16mm ply for draws? Also for the Blum draw runners how do you work out the right width for the draws just measuring or is there specific calculation to use?

@Alastair_Freebird 2 года назад

We use 15mm ply. The INNER faces of the draw box sides should be 21 mm from the inner faces of the carcase. There are diagrams in the Blum orange technical manual (you can find pdf online)

@sammymartin2495 4 года назад

Useful video thanks. I was going to build drawers out of 18mm ply and use some of these, will that work? From the specs it looks like 16mm is the max drawer side thickness, but your drawers look like they are thicker. The cost soon adds up when you have 20 pairs to buy, I guess they are worth it, where do you get yours? Cheers

@Alastair_Freebird 4 года назад

Sammy Martin a lot of people use 18mm for convenience, just routing the lower section of the sides to 16mm thickness (below the groove)

@Alastair_Freebird 4 года назад

I get them from Hart wholesale in Essex (sent by courier). I recommend them, very knowledgable with advice. There are cheaper alternatives, I just stick with Blum for reliability.

@sammymartin2495 4 года назад

Freebird Interiors thanks, good idea. Got loads of 18mm left from the cabinets so will save buying more!

@lockstocky2800 3 года назад

Are your draws 16mm ply or have you routed them ?

@almostanengineer 4 года назад

I have a question, is the price difference between Movento and Tandem worth it? Going by my local supplier (You couldn't get more local than a 5 min walk), that's a difference of £10 a draw, given I have 20 draws, that's £200, and this is a personal project, so no client covering the cost.

@Alastair_Freebird 4 года назад

Daniel Coates it’s a good question and really I’m sure tandem will do fine!

@renfordbrown7825 9 месяцев назад

I appreciate the under mount drawer slide , but they need to come with a different type of drawer slide, it can't be soft close in and you have to push the drawer in, the only thing different is when it all most reach inside , it takes a little time to close . One simple touch and the fridge door is closed , same thing should happen for the drawers.

@nigelrose8786 2 года назад

I have an issue with one draw closing then popping open again can you help please ? Thanks

@Alastair_Freebird 2 года назад

Best talk directly to Blum they have good technical support

@craigcoe2804 4 года назад

Hi Alastair - another great video 👍 it seems like a lot of little bits of plastic within the drawer runners. Have you had any issues with them at all? The adjustments on them seems great, which I suppose is where the extra cost comes in. Also - how does the coffee thing work being in dollars? Should it not be in £'s instead? Just wanted to check it was correct before I bought an American / Australian scammer a coffee 😂

@Alastair_Freebird 4 года назад

Craig Coe I have had one runner that arrived faulty and got replaced but no other issues in use. Yes please give me your money in whatever currency 😆 all the crowdfunding platforms seem to be US based and it’s all listed in dollars, it’s just how it is but the payment system (Stripe or PayPal) will convert it

@coxy9222 4 года назад

What's the difference between movento, and tandem? Do you know Alistair?

@Alastair_Freebird 4 года назад

Glenn Cox my dark secret is that I’ve never been entirely sure... 😂. Except that movento is newer and presumably better... I think there is a bit more adjustment built in, I’ve been meaning to get a tandem set and directly compare but not done so yet!! Also come to think of it I’m pretty sure Movento has more length variations

@coxy9222 4 года назад

@@Alastair_Freebird movento is more expensive. But I think you do get more adjustment on them, more than the tandem, hence the price difference. I'm going to buy a per of tandem, and compair the difference. I'll upload a video with my thoughts, an views on it. Then compair it to the movento and tag you in it. Your video has a very thorough description of the movento. Great run through on how they work, and how to install then. Thanks Alastair.

@Alastair_Freebird 4 года назад

Coxycarpentry yes I would like to see that comparison 👍

@coxy9222 4 года назад

@@Alastair_Freebird when you bought the movento runners. Did they supply the locking device, that sit at the front of the drawer carcase, or do you have to buy that separate?

@Alastair_Freebird 4 года назад

Coxycarpentry I had to order that separately

@BrendanOkeefeMusic. 9 месяцев назад

These are Blum tandem not movento

@Alastair_Freebird 9 месяцев назад

What made you think that? Tandem is the earlier model, Movento improved on it, though Tandem is still available. Comparison here: instagram.com/stories/highlights/18121479991168587/
