Product Information

Full details

These Rejs Soft Close Ball Bearing Drawer Runners are designed for furniture makers and DIY enthusiasts seeking smooth, quiet drawer operation. The key benefit is the integrated soft-close mechanism that prevents slamming, offering a premium feel to cabinets and drawers. A potential caveat is that they are designed for specific drawer depths and heights (L-400, H-45), requiring careful measurement before purchase. The runners feature durable galvanized clear zinc construction and ball bearing slides for reliable, long-lasting performance.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of these runners?

These runners are specified as L-400 (400mm length) and H-45 (45mm height).

Do these runners come with screws?

Screws are typically not included, as the type and length required can vary based on the cabinet and drawer material.

Can I use these on a very heavy drawer?

While durable, these runners are designed for standard cabinetry loads. For exceptionally heavy drawers, it's advisable to consult a professional or consider heavy-duty rated runners.

How do I activate the soft-close feature?

The soft-close mechanism is designed to engage automatically when the drawer is gently pushed closed beyond a certain point. Avoid slamming the drawer; a smooth, controlled push is best.

What material are these runners made from?

They are made from galvanized clear zinc for durability and corrosion resistance.

Can these runners be cut to a shorter length?

Cutting ball bearing drawer runners is generally not recommended as it can damage the internal mechanism and affect performance. It's best to select runners that match your required length.

Troubleshooting

Drawer does not close smoothly or softly.

Ensure the runner is correctly installed and aligned. Check for any obstructions in the ball bearing track or the soft-close mechanism. Verify that the drawer is not excessively overloaded or misaligned.

Runners seem stiff or difficult to open/close.

Check for debris within the ball bearing channels and clean thoroughly. Ensure mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the runner. Confirm the drawer itself is not binding against the cabinet.

Soft-close mechanism engages too early or not at all.

Re-check drawer and cabinet alignment. The soft-close often requires a specific gentle push to activate; ensure you are not forcing the drawer. Verify the runner has not been damaged during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your drawer and cabinet opening precisely match the runner dimensions (L-400mm length, H-45mm height).
  2. Mark the mounting points for both the cabinet member and the drawer member accurately using a pencil and tape measure.
  3. Use appropriate screws (not included) to securely fasten the runners to the cabinet and the drawer sides. Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended.
  4. Align the drawer with the cabinet runners and slide it in until the soft-close mechanism engages.

  • Designed for use in standard cabinetry where drawer dimensions align with L-400mm length and H-45mm height.
  • Suitable for wood, particleboard, and MDF drawer constructions.
  • Not recommended for use in environments with excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically check for any debris that might impede the ball bearings or soft-close mechanism and clean gently with a dry cloth or soft brush.
