    Default Blum legrabox

    Has anyone had any experience with the Blum legrabox push to open drawers?? I’m building a four drawer vanity unit and for some reason two of the drawers are not extending out the whole way when pushed in to open. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere to adjust the length it comes out. If anyone has any ideas they’d be appreciated. Cheers.

    Are all 4 drawers exactly the same? Are the drawers the same depth front to back? A 450mm drawer is going to extend further than a 400mm drawer. Check that you were supplied with the right parts.
    Sorry if these simple suggestions seem condescending, but quite often we overlook the simple things by overthinking things.

    Haven't worked with the legrabox, but did use the Tandem and Movento push-open quite a bit at work (I'm assuming they use the same mechanism, or near enough) and the short answer is no, you can't adjust how far they open.

    The only possible thing I can think of is, if they are overlay drawer fronts, that there might not be enough gap between the back of the drawer front and the front edge of the carcase to allow the mechanism to fully engage. There should be a knurled plastic roller underneath each runner (if there's a separate part for the push-open action, it'll be on that bit instead), roll it towards the front to push the "home" position of the drawer further out and give more space behind the face for the action to work. If that doesn't fix it then...

    Yep, I tell the kids all the time, when they scream at me something is broken or not working...... "ya got to turn it on first dopey!!"

    I have to agree with you there sometimes the simplest things can and often do get overlooked. And as said, no condescention intended. I was putting a flat pack desk together over the weekend and was hunting high and low for part P6, swearing and carrying on that it was mis-labelled, checking the box about 10times, but it turned out i had the right parts, they just weren't pre-drilled.

    These drawers are a metal-sided kit so they are definitely going to be the same depth to at least one decimal place.
