How to adjust a drawer that rubs or is not straight?

Follow these checks in order (drawer emptied for safe work):

1) Level the furniture: a tilted cabinet causes drawers to rub. Adjust the feet and check with a spirit level.

2) Check the slides on the cabinet side: they must be installed at the same height, properly parallel, and firmly screwed. The oblong holes allow for small lateral or height adjustments.

3) Remove and then properly reinstall the drawer:

    • Ball-bearing slides: fully open, press the tabs (left often upwards, right downwards) and remove the drawer; to reinstall, align it straight until it clicks.

    • Undermount: unlock the levers/clips under the drawer, pull straight; reattach by clipping the fasteners.

    • Remove the Safety features inside the drawer at the back of each side. They prevent the drawers from falling if pulled too far. They look like small metal pieces less than 2 cm long.

4) Adjust the front and parallelism:

      • Height: use the eccentrics or screws on plates (often under the drawer or at the back) to correct a left/right slope.

      • Lateral: slightly loosen the slides on the cabinet side (oblong holes), recenter to achieve a regular gap (≈ 2–3 mm), and tighten.

      • Depth/flushness: move the front forward/backward using the plate adjustments so that it is flush with the cabinet and closes without bouncing.

5) Soft-close (if present): push the damper pistons fully empty to resynchronize them; dust the rails, do not lubricate with oil (risk of clogging).

6) Load & usage: adhere to the load capacity per drawer (see sheet/instructions) and distribute objects evenly.

Still rubbing? Check that the front is not in contact with an edge or neighboring handle, and that screws do not protrude inside the rail.
