Installation of the BLUM Movento Drawer Slider

[@mvdeehan]

Nice short video! Thank you! I am trying to repair a drawer set bought at a store. I think my grandchildren leaned on them too much. The “soft close” function no longer works. It looks like I can simply lift out the drawers and replace the Blum sliders. Your cabinets look really good too!

The cabinet looks really nice. Thumbs up.

Great video, thanks for sharing and explaining. I didn't find the links :)

You were really fast, faster than me. The links are in, now. There are also other shops that will offer this hardware. Comparing is always good. If you find a better place, please let me know.

Thanks for the instructive video. A question: Do you place the lower slide on the bottom of the cabinet? Or do you leave a 3 mm gap?

[@Gazman299]

From the other videos that I've seen everyone (but this fellow) starts with placing the first drawer slide on the very bottom of the cabinet (no space in between). Then they install the first drawer. After that they put a piece of plywood on top of the drawer as a spacer, and then use it as a jig to install the next set of slides, and so forth all of the way up insuring that everything is square to the cabinet. I'm going to install these drawer slides next month, so I'm checking out every video that I can find. I've been using side mount slides, but want to improve.

@@Gazman299 The problem with using the lower drawer as a base for the second drawer, and so on is that if you make a small mistake in the second drawer this will continue with all higher drawers. I made a simple jig (simple piece of wood with holes to indicate the front hole to screw in for every drawer). This jig was a help, because I made three drawer cabinets for the same kitchen, so all drawers were at the same position every time

How thick is the wood of your drawer? Looks like 18mm. I am referring to the 16mm maximum thickness Blum specifies.
