  • We, or should I say my husband :D had the same problem this summer!

    I have just asked him and he doesn't remember any specific tips for the drawers but he said they give you about 5 times as many fixings than you could ever need so don't let that worry you.

    I don't suppose I've been much help but if there is anything else just let me know.

    Hi there

    I can't help with your overdose of bits! However, our kitchen fitter fitted a Howdens kitchen just before Easter and it is superb. He probably knew what to do!

    Good luck.

    I'm sure if you go along to a branch of Howdens they'll be happy to help. They should also be able to give you a copy of the fixing instructions, which are kept in the depot.
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.

    Hi folks, i'm a newbie, but can help - I work for Howdens. If you contact the branch who sold you the kitchen, they have drawer drilling templates which can be given to customers as a guide for fitting the drawer fronts. They will also have installation guides for the units as well. My branch send them out as standard, but most joiners don't use them as they fit the things all the time!
