Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Metod kitchen and am currently struggling with the assembly of the cabinets with drawers (Uschr 4 Fr/2 ni 2 haho Sch and Uschr 5 Fr/2 ni 3 haho Sch).

Here is the problem:
The bottom drawer doesn’t fit by about 2cm (1 inch). The instructions describe many different combinations for where to attach the drawer slides, but the exact two cabinets mentioned above are missing. I’ve already tried various combinations, including using the second row of holes on the slides, but I haven’t found a suitable setup. I’ve also adjusted the drawer height using the side screws. All without success…

Can anyone help me?

Best regards,

It worked! Thanks for the tip.

After assembling a few drawers, you stop paying attention to the small but important details in the instructions – and that’s a mistake. ops:

Now nothing stands in the way of the kitchen housewarming this weekend.

Thanks again!

At first, I also doubted myself ) But it’s really a detail that you only notice as a difference after looking closely for a while! Regards

Hello,

I have a similar problem, but with a drawer one level higher. I installed a front panel incorrectly. May I ask briefly how you detached the front panel from the drawer?

Thank you!

Hello, I have a similar problem.
I managed to install all the drawers, but the very top drawer is difficult to open and close because it rubs heavily against the metal at the top where the countertop is attached. The white metal has already been scratched because of this.

Why doesn’t it fit? What could be the issue?

It's actually quite simple once you know how.
