Blum hinges & drawer runners

Precisely adjusted doors & drawers.

For Blum hinges and drawer runners on East Main cabinetry. Match the drawing to what you see, then follow the steps.

Open a door or drawer and pick what you see.

Dashed outlines mark where it should sit. The error is drawn larger than life so you can see it.

Match the demo to your cabinet

Pick the closest problem, then fine-tune until the drawing looks like what you see.

Fine-tune by hand

Make the adjustments

Before you start

Use a #2 Pozidriv or Phillips screwdriver by hand. A drill driver strips the cams.
Work in order: height, then side to side, then in and out. Each one shifts the next a little.
Go a quarter turn at a time, close the door or drawer, and look again.
If a small door closes too slowly, flip the soft-close switch in the cup of one hinge to off.
To take a drawer off, pull it all the way out, squeeze both orange levers underneath, and lift. To put it back, pull the runners out, set the drawer on them, and push it shut until it clicks.
If a door drops again after adjusting, check that the hinge is clipped fully onto its plate and every mounting screw is snug.
