How do I remove the drawer front from my kitchen drawer?
The disassembly of a drawer front depends on the type of drawer you have. We explain it for you per drawer. Are you stuck? We are ready to help you.
MAXIMERA drawer
Open the drawer. You see an elongated plastic plate on both sides of the drawer. Remove the covers. You will find several screws in the space behind the cover plate.
Most screws are adjustment screws with which you can adjust the drawer front. You can turn one of these screws half a turn with a screwdriver. The drawer front will then separate from the drawer. Important: the screw may be a bit clogged.
Look at the image below for a short instruction for a MAXIMERA drawer (click on the image to enlarge it).
FÖRVARA drawer
Open the drawer. At the bottom you will find a corner bracket behind the drawer front. Unscrew these. Next, loosen the screws on the sides of the drawer brackets. Now you can disconnect the top brackets from the drawer runners. You can then carefully lift the drawer out of the mounting brackets of the drawer front.
For more information, see the assembly instructions for your drawer. Do you no longer have these in your possession? Please contact our customer service.
