Re: Replace Kitchen Cutlery Tray Drawer door bracket broken

As you can see, one of the bracket on door is broken. Couldn't find retrofit bracket/fixture to replace. Was seeking options to over come this. Door is 450mm wide by 140mm high.

Hello @Eldose 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your drawer brackets.

 

A similar question was asked before and I suggest having a quick look at this discussion on - How to fix the drawer bracket? by @amydroid7. Generally speaking, we suggested testing a Blum Front Fixing Bracket for METABOX Drawer Slide, but it was not fully compatible, and they decided to try a 3D printed solution. As a possible new option, I recommend fixing the drawer front permanently by using an angle bracket such as Hafele 23 x 23mm Angle Bracket - 20 Pack. I propose using 10g x 16mm steel self-tapping screws to link it to your metal drawer.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Re: Replace Kitchen Cutlery Tray Drawer door bracket broken

Hello @Eldose 

 

If you are asking me if there are any pre-built drawer sets at that size, the answer is no. It will be necessary to build one from scratch, however, there are two other options I would like to suggest. The first is to install a Zenith 75 x 20 x 2mm Zinc Plated Tri Corner Brace - 2 Pack on the corner where the clip has failed. The other option is to place a timber piece in front of the drawer body so that the drawer front can be screwed into it in the traditional manner. 

 

I've placed an image below of how you can screw the drawer front back on with the corner brace. Let me know what you think. I propose using Zenith 6G x 15mm Stainless Steel Long Thread Countersunk Head Timber Screws - 16 Pack to anchor the brace to the wood.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric

Hi @Eldose,

 

Can you please post a photo of the bracket you used and explain what didn't work out.

Maybe you had problem securing the bracket to the steel drawer side.

 

Cheers
