Magnet Kitchen pull and swing corner unit

muckles

Hi, The pull and swing out corner unit in my kitchen has collapsed due to bearing failure.
I have rung the supplier,Magnet who say not their problem as the unit is about 8 years old.
I can only see the name Schock Metall on the unit which I assume is the German manufacturer but can't find this on the Net.
Anybody got any ideas on how to get parts/get this fixed.
many thanks

They are called 'Magic Corners'. You may well end up having to replace it. Magnets are not the chepest place to get them - they are cheaper on the net.

The Schock Metall ones were notorious for the bearings failing, which is why they switched to Kessebohmer fittings a couple of years ago.

You could always contact them directly and see if they can help you:

Thanks to the three members of the forum who have replied to my post.With their info I have found a supplier for a new corner unit-(betterkitchens) who advertise pull and swing units for £160.I was hoping to repair the unit but from the post on the manufacturer it may be better to start again.
It is disgusting that a new kitchen can cost more than a small car yet people like Magnet wash their hands when the warranty runs out.Of course the 15 year so called guarantee on the cabinets does not cover any mechanism inside the unit.
Once again thanks for the rapid response.Hopefully I'll get the kitchen back to normal soon.
