How to adjust Kaboodle drawer that wont stay closed?

[jjgarth]

Gday guys,

moved into this home 10 months ago. Kitchen drawer getting worse. Can he shut very slowly and it stays shut, otherwise opens by itself. Very frustrating!

here is each side of the drawer runner. Is there anything I can adjust to ensure it remains closed?

it is worse with a full drawer.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @jjgarth. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Kaboodle drawers.

You might like to take a look at this previous discussion on how to fix soft-close drawers that won't stay closed. There is likely a set of blue clips on the draw runners that could have failed. You could either look at replacing the runners with new ones or speak with our Special Order team in-store, who can put you in touch with our Spare Parts team to see if we can arrange some new parts for replacement.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi mate! Thanks for your reply, I have been reading your replies for months now and you have indirectly helped me with a lot!

my drawers don’t seem to be soft close. They all just go in and out as normal without any special feature, however this one needs a very gentle close for it to stay closed. Would this post still be useful? I may take it apart and see if it is different to the others.

I think it would still be useful in the sense of troubleshooting @jjgarth. The only real way to determine what is causing the issue is to pull the drawer out and check the runners to see if anything is broken. It would be helpful to remove another function drawer too to compare.

Potentially, this issue has been there since installation. It might be worth popping a level on the runner to see if it's tilting forward, causing the drawer to self-open.

It's great to hear that you've found my advice useful. That comment brought a smile to my face.
