Drawer-front adjustments
-
Adjust the drawer-front height
Start by slightly loosening screw #2 on the drawer-front mount.
Turn screw #3 to move that side of the drawer front up or down.
Left side of the drawer:
- Turn screw #3 clockwise to move the drawer front down.
- Turn screw #3 anticlockwise to move the drawer front up.
Right side of the drawer:
- Turn screw #3 clockwise to move the drawer front up.
- Turn screw #3 anticlockwise to move the drawer front down.
Once the drawer front is at the correct height, retighten screw #2.
Make small adjustments on one side at a time. Close the drawer and check the gaps around the drawer front as you go.

Adjust the side-to-side position
Slightly loosen screws #1 on both the left and right drawer-front mounts.
Close the drawer and carefully move the drawer front sideways until it is correctly aligned with the cabinet and surrounding drawer fronts.
Hold the drawer front in position, gently reopen the drawer and retighten screws #1.
Keep hold of the drawer front while tightening the screws so it does not move out of position.
Check the final alignment
Close the drawers and check that the gaps are even and that each drawer opens and closes without rubbing against the cabinet or another drawer front.
