Troubleshooting
Drawer does not close slowly or smoothly.
Ensure the mechanism is correctly aligned and securely attached to both the drawer and the drawer guide. Check that the drawer guide length falls within the 350-550mm range. Verify no obstructions are preventing the mechanism's arm from moving freely.
Mechanism makes a clicking noise.
Confirm that the mechanism is properly seated and secured. Sometimes a slight misalignment can cause noise. Ensure the drawer is not overloading the mechanism.
Mechanism seems too stiff or too loose.
These mechanisms are generally non-adjustable. If the resistance feels significantly off, re-check the installation steps and compatibility. Ensure the correct mechanism is being used for the drawer weight and size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is designed to be straightforward. Ensure the drawer is removed or fully extended. Attach the mechanism to the drawer side and the corresponding part to the drawer guide or cabinet frame using the provided fittings. Precise placement is key for optimal function; refer to any included diagrams for guidance. Test the drawer's movement to ensure smooth engagement with the mechanism.
Compatibility: These mechanisms are compatible with drawer guides that measure between 350 mm and 550 mm in length. They are specifically designed for use with standard roller guides and Metalbox drawer systems. Ensure your existing drawer slides match these specifications before purchasing.
Care: To maintain performance, periodically wipe the mechanisms and surrounding drawer slides with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals, as they may degrade the plastic. No lubrication is typically required.
