I'm using Blum runners for my kitchen drawers. ID quote me $80 per sets, total 6 sets. For those going to get Blum runners, remember to ask how many kg runners they giving u. I'm using the 30kg runners. Think Blum have 40kg, 50kg etc runners. For me i think 30kg is enuf. How heavy ur plates, bowls, utensiles, wok, pots etc gets? Anything heavier than 30kg, i think will have difficulty pulling out the drawers oso

The 4 red drawers at the tall cabinet & the 2 big drawers in front of the hob r installed with Blum runners.

The 4 drawers with Blum runners

Blum Tandem Plus Full Extension 30kg with Blumotion.

This is how the runners looks like !!

Seeing how the runners slides smoothly & closing silently really worth the $

The remaining cabinet doors also using hydraulic hinges. But i dunno wat brand Forgot how $ oso. But i remember the hinges quite cheap, few dollars only per pc.

nope, he used normal runner for my big drawer.

my hse already hand over n it will take mths if i ask him to come back.. his service not very good n inefficient.

i can install myself n dunno where to get better replacement since it is already custom made using normal runner (width of gap). juz wonder BLUM have it

How much does Ikea sell their individual railings/hinges and related parts (Blum OEM)? I'm considering exploring this option if its really cheaper.

planning to get some antislam.

Must pass to carpenter before start work to install or can install after cabinet goes up?
