Kitchen Drawer Runners
Drawer runners make all the difference to the operation, durability and movement of a drawer, so choosing the right solution is key. When choosing kitchen drawer runners for your customer, you want to make sure you’ve chosen the best options for their needs. Some users, for example, may find push-to-open drawers more accessible, and therefore need a drawer system to suit. At Häfele, we manufacture and supply a broad selection of kitchen drawer runners for all applications.
Concealed Undermount Runners
Concealed undermount runners are ideal for providing more support than side-mounted drawers, plus they offer a discreet way of mounting drawers. You can also upgrade them to be full-extension glides which allows them to be opened completely.
Ball Bearing Runners
Ball bearing runners are made to provide a smooth glide when pulling the drawer open, rather than a strained jolt. These types of runners are easy to use and install which makes them incredibly popular amongst designers, installers, and users.
Soft Close Runners
Soft close runners are some of the most popular types of runners available, as these types of drawers are designed to close gently when pushed, in order to reduce the noise made. Our range of Matrix drawers come with soft close runners which can be upgraded to be pushed to open.
3 Steps to Choosing the Right Kitchen Drawer Runners
Know which type of runner your customer wants
Starting with your customer’s needs will help you identify which type of runner is required for your project. If your customer has heavy appliances that need to be stored in drawers, for example, a heavier duty runner may be needed. If your customer has limited mobility, push-to-open may be a better option. If in doubt, get in touch with us and we can help you pick the best runners for your project.
Be Forward Thinking
When choosing kitchen drawer runners, it’s always a good idea to think about any potential changes your client may face in the future. Choosing a runner and drawer system that is built to last and suit their needs for years to come is key.
