Re: soft close drawer banging shut

Hello @gwoods 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about your soft close drawer. Can you recall who your kitchen manufacturer is? If it is a Kaboodle drawer runner, I'll be more than happy to track down the replacement parts for you. If not, I suggest calling the manufacturer of your kitchen and see if they have spare parts for your drawer. 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

I'm not sure on the manufacturer - I've been looking but the closest I've gotten to a name in the rails is a Capital G with a star next to it and I presume a part number : 550 1318

Re: soft close drawer banging shut

Hello @gwoods 

 

The Hafele 86 x 500mm White Soft Close Drawer is about the closest I can find that is similar to your drawer runner. If you can remove or dismantle the old drawer runner, I suggest bringing it to the store and see if there are any that look similar to it. My only other suggestion is to consult a cabinet maker and see if they can identify your drawer runner.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
