Hello,
I have replaced the fronts of my kitchen cabinets. Everything went well and it looks great. However, I can’t remove the front of the drawer under the stove. It uses a different system than the other drawers. I’m hesitant to use force. Does anyone know how to remove the front?

Hi, you might still have the old system, meaning you need to remove the gray cover caps on both sides first, then the mechanism will be visible. And here comes the tricky part: if you look closely, you’ll see a Phillips screw hidden under a metal piece. You need to use a screwdriver to turn this screw... the part that partially covers the screw can then be pushed upward (with the screwdriver). You’ll notice it has a spring-like movement upwards, and then the front panel should come loose.

I’m not sure if this description is easy to follow in practice, but maybe it helps you, or someone else can explain it better.

In any case, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Yes, I understood it and it worked!!! Thank you very much! Although the pre-drilled holes in the new front panel don’t quite match, it’s not a problem—I’ll just drill some myself...
Thanks again for the quick help, I was already getting desperate!
