Hello everyone, I recently bought the Metod kitchen cabinets from Ikea and wanted to install the drawers. Unfortunately, my drawers don’t slide very smoothly and often feel stiff or catch when opening and closing.
My specific question is: How do I install the Ikea Metod drawers so that they run smoothly and without resistance? I am using the included Blum drawer slides, but the result is rather suboptimal. Maybe you have tips on proper alignment, adjustment, or any installation tricks? Information about lubricants or settings on the slides would also be very helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support!

After lubrication and assembly, open and close the drawer several times fully.I totally agree, it’s like a ‘break-in period’ for the drawer 😄
And remember: Sometimes it just takes a bit of patience until everything runs smoothly. Don’t get discouraged, just keep at it step by step. Good luck!
