Converting kitchen cupboards to drawers

  • Can you screw?

    If it's like normal unit drawers, then accuracy is paramount. On normal units the screw holes are marked, but I guess fitting these on existing units/panels will require accurate marking out - perhaps they supply a template for this? 

    Bottom line - don't fit ALL the runner screws into a side panel until you know it's level! Some usually have a an elongated slot for adjustment - tweak that up firmly and test the drawer. Adjust as necessary. Fit ALL the other drawers too. Double-check they all align nicely. THEN add the other screws. 
  • (Actually, since these don't have fascias on them that need to precisely align for appearance, it isn't anywhere near as critical.)

    That looks like exactly what I need.  I made the mistake of not specifying enough drawers in our new kitchen.  How straightforward was the installation?  Are the instructions clear?
    The instructions supplied (if you want paper copies, you have to specify this when ordering) are very good and provided you follow them carefully, you shouldn't have a problem and there are also video instructions online.
    Make sure that you have a good spirit level and a square and just take your time and measure twice before screwing the runners to the sides of the cupboard.
