This is a synchronisation bar that connects two Blum Tandem drawer runners together when you're using the TIP-ON push-to-open mechanism. It's essentially a metal link that ensures both sides of your drawer open and close at exactly the same speed.

Where It Fits

You'll find this on wide drawers, typically those over 600mm where the push-to-open function might otherwise feel uneven. It works specifically with Blum's Tandem runners that have the TIP-ON mechanism built in.

How It Works

The aluminium bar sits behind your drawer and physically connects the two runners. When you push one side of the drawer front, both runners move together in perfect sync. You can cut it down to match your specific drawer width, up to a maximum of 1200mm.

Why It Matters

Wide drawers can feel awkward with push-to-open if one side responds faster than the other. This creates a smooth, consistent opening experience every time you touch the drawer front. It also reduces wear on the runners by ensuring they share the load evenly.

Design Consideration

This is recommended rather than essential for most installations. You'll want it on drawers over 600mm wide, particularly heavy ones or those you use frequently. For narrower drawers, the standard TIP-ON mechanism works fine on its own.

Build Quality

Made from aluminium with Blum's lifetime guarantee. The bar is robust enough to handle repeated use while remaining hidden behind the drawer box. It's designed to work seamlessly with Blum's runner tolerances.

Consider this if your kitchen design includes wide drawers with push-to-open fronts. Your kitchen designer will specify it where the drawer width and usage patterns make synchronized opening worthwhile.
