How to fix soft closing drawer?

One of our drawers now bangs shut. Is there something that we can adjust to make it close softly again? It is one we use a lot so maybe something wears out?

Re: Soft closing drawer not soft closing

Hi @gnicholson,

 

It sounds like the draw slide might need replacing or a part has broken. I'd suggest removing the drawer and taking a look at the runner mechanism. Check to see if there are any broken parts. There might be a couple of plastic parts, and these tend to wear out with high use. If you can take some pictures of the style of the runner, we might be able to diagnose the issue. Obviously, replacement with a new soft-close runner is going to solve your issue.

 

Please let me know fi you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
