Troubleshooting
Drawer is stiff or difficult to open/close
Ensure the runners are installed perfectly parallel and level. Check for any debris or obstructions within the runner mechanism. Verify that the drawer is not overloaded.
Drawer does not close completely
Check if the runners are correctly aligned. There might be a slight misalignment causing the drawer to catch. Ensure the back of the drawer is not hitting the cabinet.
Runners make a squeaking noise
Clean the runners thoroughly to remove any dust or grit. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts if necessary. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dirt.
Drawer feels wobbly or loose
Ensure all screws securing the runners to the drawer and cabinet are tightened appropriately. Check that the runner components are fully engaged with each other.
