The TANDEMBOX BLUMOTION Runner is Blum's full extension drawer runner system with integrated soft-close technology. You get a pair of steel runners, one for each side of your drawer, that mount inside your cabinet and connect to the drawer box itself.

How It Works

These runners allow your drawer to pull out completely, giving you access to everything stored at the back. The BLUMOTION mechanism means the drawer closes gently on its own once you push it about three-quarters shut. The soft-close engages automatically, drawing the drawer fully closed without slamming.

Why It Matters

Full extension changes how you use deep drawers. Instead of reaching awkwardly into the back corners, everything slides out to where you can see and reach it easily. The soft-close prevents the jarring bang of drawers slamming shut, which matters most in busy kitchens or when you're putting away dishes early in the morning.

Where It Fits

These 270mm runners suit drawers in base cabinets where the internal depth is at least 273mm. They work with TANDEMBOX drawer systems and require screw fixing to both the cabinet side and the drawer box. Your cabinet maker will need to ensure the cabinet construction can support the drawer weight and runner mechanism.

Build Quality

The runners are made from steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. Blum provides a lifetime guarantee on the mechanism, reflecting the engineering quality of their drawer hardware. The BLUMOTION soft-close system uses hydraulic damping rather than basic springs, which means consistent performance over many years of use.

Design Consideration

These runners require precise installation to work properly. The soft-close mechanism adds bulk to the runner system, so your kitchen designer needs to account for this when planning drawer box widths and cabinet internal dimensions. They work best with properly constructed drawer boxes that can handle the forces involved in the soft-close action.
