Internal kitchen drawers

[MuffDaddy]

I'm looking to add 4 drawers within a 600 wide Magnet larder unit. Anyone have experience with suppliers of these and is there a cheaper way than the Blum stuff?

Are you prepared to make them yourself? How about if they were simple flat panels with a wire basket framework, and runners beneath the panels?

[MuffDaddy]

I've got a few wire baskets. I'm looking for solid ones to become the draws full of rubbish that every kitchen has (pens etc). I cannot make them myself as time/skill doesn't allow.

How about these? (Ignore the front shown in the picture, as you wouldn't need it, it would just be the box)

That picture isn't of an "internal drawer" not sure if the OP is wanting that type or an actual internal drawer (the type that you open a door as usual but then re drawers are hidden behind it)

Not bad, many thanks will look further in to them.

Yes, I realise, that's why I said to ignore the front as he wouldn't need it.

Fair enough, would you just put another beech panel on the front to finish it off then?

The photograph doesn't show it (and it might be as well for anyone ordering to confirm this) but I believe that it is in fact a 4 sided box and the drawer front shown is fixed to the unseen fourth side with screws.

I see, our drawer boxes are 3 sided, hence my confusion.

To the OP - We may be able to help you, depending on where you are. We don't technically do retro fit stuff but seeing as you are a PH'er, if you aren't too far away then I will happily come along with a drill jig and fit some internal drawers for you.

From his accent, I would say West Country, probably Bristol or thereabouts

I hadn't realised you were in the business, and I see what you mean about your doing 3 sided drawers. I expect Woodfit find it easier to do the four sided type because then they don't need to get involved with the various fixing systems required, or need to worry about providing a slot in the drawer front for the base to slot into it (I presume that's how your drawers work?)

I can see why thy would do it that way, with having solid sides. our drawer sides steel and quite complex. The drawer front doesn't need a slot cut into it though. We supply 2 drawer front connectors (plastic component with 2 "hooks" on) that you screw to the drawer front and then you can just click the drawer front into place, and take it off again with ease. These allow quite a bit of adjustment to get perfect centres on the drawer fronts with minimal hassle.

If it is an internal drawer then we have different type of connectors which allow an aluminium front panel to be slotted into them. once again there is full adjustment, although it isn't needed for internal drawers.

Similar to Blum Tandembox then, I expect, and with a thick base which doesn't bend (so as to not require the slot in the drawer front).

Similar, we don't actually use Blum, as we prefer the quality from our suppliers.
