These are the sliding mechanisms that sit inside your cabinet boxes to support Blum's Merivobox drawer system. Each pair consists of left and right runners that mount to the cabinet sides, creating the foundation for drawers that either close softly on their own or open with a gentle push.

Where It Fits

The runners fix directly to the interior sides of your cabinet boxes. They work with standard cabinet construction and require a minimum internal depth of the nominal length plus 3mm. You'll find them in contemporary kitchens where clean lines and smooth operation matter more than traditional visible hardware.

How It Works

The steel runners provide full extension, meaning your drawer pulls out completely to give you access to everything inside. Depending on your choice, they either incorporate Blumotion soft-close technology that gently draws the drawer shut in the final inches, or TIP-ON Blumotion that lets you open drawers with just a light push on the drawer front.

Why It Matters

Full extension means you can reach items at the very back of deep drawers without stretching or removing things in front. The soft-close prevents drawers from slamming, protecting both the contents and the cabinet structure. Push-to-open suits handleless designs where you want clean, uninterrupted surfaces.

Design Consideration

These runners work well when you want the mechanism hidden inside the cabinet box rather than visible underneath the drawer. The weight capacity varies with the specific length you choose, so deeper drawers that need to carry more will need appropriate sizing. They're not suitable if you prefer the traditional look of visible drawer slides.

Build Quality

The steel construction with zinc plating resists corrosion in kitchen environments. Blum provides a lifetime guarantee on the mechanism, reflecting the engineering standards. The runners require screw fixing, though fixings aren't included with the runners themselves.

Options

Available in 270mm nominal length as standard, with weight capacity determined by the specific runner depth you select. You can specify either the soft-close version or the push-to-open variant depending on your cabinet design and handle preference.

Consider whether you want soft-close convenience or push-to-open simplicity in your kitchen, and ensure your cabinet depth accommodates the runner length plus the required 3mm clearance.
