Hi, I have fitted Shallow Blum Tandem box drawer OK. But how do I get the drawer out of the carcass if I need to? |
|
Pull the drawer all the way out. Now hold either side at the front and pull upward and "wiggle" at the same time. Don't worry you won't damage it. The drawer will shake loose from the runners and lift upward and out. |
|
How do I remove a drawer once fitted ? I don't want to break anything |
|
Tandembox - pull drawer out fully, grab each corner, lift and "wiggle". Don't worry, it will not break! |
|
Last year I purchased several Tandembox kits. I now need to remove one of the drawers to get to the back of my unit but it is unclear to me just how I should do this. |
|
You pull the drawer out as far as it will come. hold the front at either end with both hands and pull up and "wiggle" at the same time. Don't worry it will not break! |
|
I am looking to install drawers into my eaves. What drawer depths can you offer ? |
|
Blum Metabox and Tandembox are available in the following runner lengths
Metabox SHALLOW OR DEEP SIDES 270mm, 350mm, 400mm, 450mm, 500mm
Tandembox SHALLOW OR DEEP SIDES 270mm, 350mm, 400mm, 450mm, 500mm, 550mm, 650mm |
|
My kitchen cupboards are a non standard 16mm wide should I say15mm or 18mm for the internal drawers |
|
You can say either, as there is the opportunity to add a note to your order to specify the 16mm size.
We always look out for and follow these special instructions. |
|
Can I have soft close runners on your metabox range. |
|
Soft close attachments can be added at any time for Blum Metabox shallow or deep sided drawers. |
|
Do you have a system for use in wardrobes? I think the ones on your website would suit to put 2 or 3 sliding drawers inside the wardrobe at the bottom. What do you think? Thank you, Chris |
|
Hi Chris, Thanks for your enquiry.
Yes, any of our drawers can be used in wardrobes.
As long as the unit is parallel and square, the drawer will work.
The information we would need is the runner length required, and the aperture or opening the drawer is going in. |
|
What are the main differences between the blum metaboxes & tandem boxes. Is it just the soft close? Are the drawer bases the same strength? Thanks |
|
Blum Metabox runs on visible nylon rollers.
Tannembox mechanism is fully enclosed and runs very smooth and silent.
Both have 16mm or 18mm thick base panels, and are very sturdy.
Tandembox runners can be upgraded to 50kg weight capacity.
The video on our homepage clearly shows both versions in action.
|
|
Could you supply drawers to fit a kitchen wall unit which is 290mm deep |
|
Yes, our shortest runner length is 270mm (needs a depth of 275mm for installation) |
|
Do you provide the runners with an option of having a push open function? |
|
We can supply the Blum Tip On Kit which can be fitted to our Legrabox and Tandembox Range of Drawers. If you already have a drawer and wanted to upgrade this we would be happy to help check if your runners can accept the Tip On Mechanism.

Hello can the spacetower drawers be fitted into a split larder unit? ie there is a fixed shelf halfway up the 900mm unit for stability |
|
Yes this is not a problem, in fact it helps with installation, as with the Tandembox, you can just lay the runners on the shelf and screw straight into the sides. This applies with the bottom shelf also. |
|
How is the plinth pod fixed to the floor if installing beneath existing cupbloards |
|
Using right angled brackets (supplied). These are screwed at the front side of the pod, and are accessible to drill and fix if plugs are also required. |
|
What measurements do I need to order the correct size drawer box? |
|
Just three measurements are required. See our measuring page for further details.
1. Thickness of base unit sides (15mm or 18mm)
2. Outside width of base unit (300mm 400mm 500mm etc)
3. Measurement back to front on the inside of the unit.
|

What is a BLUM SpaceTower? |
|
A BLUM Space Tower is what is achieved by installing 4 x deep and 1 x shallow Blum Internal drawers in a larder cupboard. At Drawerboxes.co.uk, a Space Tower can be made with any mix or quantity of deep or shallow Blum drawers depending on your own requirements. |
|
What is a Plinth Pod |
|
Plinth Pods (tm) are exclusive to Drawerboxes.co.uk.
The Plinth Pod trade mark is owned by Drawerboxes Ltd.
A Plinth Pod is a self contained, made to measure mini cabinet, which contains a drawer, which fills the cabinet as much as possible. The Pod is then slid under a kitchen or bedroom cabinet between the feet (or side supports), and attached to the floor with the fixings supplied. Finally a section of existing plinth is attached as the "drawer front".
|
|
Does a plinth pod drawer front touch the floor? Will it mark the flooring? |
|
No, if installed correctly, the plinth pod drawer front will stay at the set height, just like any other drawer in your kitchen. |
|
Do I allow for the packer when I supply my internal unit width? |
|
No, just tell us the actual unit internal width, we do the calculations to include the packer where required. |
|
What is the biggest width of drawer box you can supply? |
|
For a base unit 1200mm (1.2 metre) wide. Higher weight capacity soft close drawer runners are required.
|
|
Do your drawer boxes come fully assembled? |
|
Normally they are packed flat in order to avoid damage in transit, and also to keep delivery costs down, but the drawers are easy to assemble in minutes. Please see our How-to videos section. We can supply all drawers fully assembled by request subject to additional carriage where applicable.
|
|
Is there a guarantee or warranty with your drawer boxes? |
|
All our Blum drawer boxes come with their fantastic LIFETIME WARRANTY. Every order comes with a warranty card which guarantees the drawer components for the lifetime of the furniture. The warranty card has a UK freephone number to contact Blum direct.
|
|
What is soft close? |
|
Our Blum Tandembox kits come with soft close as standard. Soft close is a damper mechanism fitted in the runner that gently slows the movement of the drawer over the last few centimetres of travel.
|
|
What is the advantage of internal drawers? |
|
With internal drawers, you keep the existing door on your unit, and fit drawers inside. Drawers allow much easier access to the contents of the base unit meaning you never have to get down on hands and knees to rummage around in the bottom shelf.
|
|
Can I use my existing drawer front? |
|
Yes you can. Our Metabox and Tandembox drawer kits will accept your existing drawer front using the fixing plates and screws supplied in the kit.
|
