FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of these runners?
These are 27mm deep runners that extend from 310mm up to 516mm when fully open.
Are screws included for installation?
Screws are typically not included with replacement drawer runners and need to be sourced separately based on your cabinet and drawer material.
How do I know if these will fit my drawers?
Measure the depth of your drawer (27mm is standard for many) and the length of the runner channel when the drawer is fully extended (516mm maximum for this model). Confirming compatibility with your existing manufacturer (like MFI or IKEA) is also recommended.
Can these be used for kitchen drawers?
Yes, they are suitable for kitchen drawers, as well as wardrobes, desks, and other furniture requiring smooth drawer movement.
What is the difference between this grey model and silver models?
The primary difference is the color finish. Performance and dimensions are typically consistent within the same model series, but always check the specific product details.
How do I clean the metal runners?
Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Ensure they are dry afterward to prevent rust or corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Drawer is stiff or doesn't close smoothly.
Check if the runners are installed perfectly level and parallel. Ensure no debris is obstructing the channels. Verify that the drawer box itself is not warped.
Drawer falls off the runners.
Confirm the runners are securely fastened to both the drawer and the cabinet. Ensure the correct runner size for the drawer depth and length is used.
Runners are noisy during operation.
Clean the runner channels thoroughly. Ensure the drawer is properly aligned and not putting sideways pressure on the runners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old runners, attaching the new runners to the drawer sides and cabinet frame using appropriate screws (not included), and then sliding the drawer into place. Ensure the runners are parallel and level for optimal performance.
Compatibility: These runners are a 27mm depth, 310mm–516mm (open size) replacement. It is crucial to measure your existing drawer's internal dimensions and the required extension length to ensure compatibility. They are designed to be a suitable alternative for runners found in MFI, IKEA, and other common drawer systems.
Care: To maintain smooth operation, periodically clean the runner channels with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using excessive lubricants, as they can attract dirt. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring all moisture is removed afterward.
