How do I fix misaligned MAXIMERA drawers fronts?

Our MAXIMERA drawer fronts offer 3 types of adjustment to help you perfectly align your new kitchen cabinets. Also, there are specific instructions for installing drawers depending on where you install them in the cabinet.

Assembly

Start by following the steps in the assembly guide to install the drawer in the cabinet. There are different steps based on where you install the drawer in the cabinet (at the bottom, top or in the middle).
If you have lost your assembly document, you can look it up at any time on the product page under Product Details > Assembly and Documents.

Making Final Adjustments

  • There are three types of adjustments to align the front vertically, horizontally, and in depth.
  • We suggest starting with the bottom drawer and work your way up until complete.
  • If you are not sure, there are helpful video guides online that may help with overall alignment.

Vertical Alignment

  1. Remove the plastic cover on each side panel of the drawer.
  2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn the small screw closer to the back of the drawer.
  3. Adjust the position of the front vertically until you have an even gap between all your fronts.

Horizontal Alignment

  1. Remove the plastic cover on each side panel of the drawer.
  2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn the small screw closer to the front of the drawer.
  3. Adjust the position of the front horizontally until you have an even gap between all your fronts and they are aligned in their cabinet.

Depth Alignment (tilting forward or back/fronts are different depths)

  1. Find where the supporting side rails attach to the front.
  2. Slide back the plastic cover.
  3. Rotate the end of the rail to either push the front out or pull it in.
  4. Adjust the position of each cabinet into your fronts are all level.
