Troubleshooting
Drawer does not close fully
Ensure the runners are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Check for any obstructions inside the cabinet or drawer.
Drawer is stiff or difficult to open/close
Verify that the runners are installed perfectly parallel. Clean any dust or debris from the runner channels. Check for any damage to the runners.
Runners make noise during operation
Ensure screws are tight but not overtightened. Clean the runner channels. If noise persists, there might be an alignment issue or damage to the rolling mechanism.
Runner separates from drawer or cabinet
Check that the correct type and length of screws are used for the material. Ensure the mounting holes are not stripped. Re-secure firmly.
