Drawer runners
Drawer runners are an essential component in the construction of smooth-operating drawers in furniture such as cabinets, dressers, and desks. They facilitate easyand quiet opening and closing of drawers, bearing the weight of stored items while ensuring stability and durability. Individuals interested in home improvement, woodworking, or the manufacturing of furniture are typically the primary customers of drawer runners. Whether for upgrading existing drawers or for the craftsmanship of new pieces, the right selection of drawer runners can significantly affect the functionality and longevity of drawers in daily life.
When selecting drawer runners, key properties to consider include length, weight capacity, and extension type. A typical drawer runner length is 500mm, fitting a standard-sized drawer. However, customers should measure the length of their drawers to select the perfect size for seamless operation. Additionally, runners come with various weight capacities, designed to accommodate anything from light cutlery to heavy pots and pans. The extension type can either be partial, allowing the drawer to open partially, or full extension, which enables the drawer to open completely for full access. Other features to consider might include soft-closing mechanisms or push-to-open functionality for handleless designs.
