We will show how to install them into the housing with the facade frame where you need to add mounting brackets from behind, and sometimes in front. In a housing that does not have a facade frame, such guides are installed even easier.
Before proceeding with the manufacture of a cabinet with drawers or a chest, we advise you to buy retractable guides in advance or at least figure out their exact dimensions and installation features. Then make the case taking into account the size of the guides. Retractable boxes should be strictly rectangular and not to have distortions.
Most guides that are attached to boxes from sides have a thickness of about 12.5 mm in assembled. Therefore, determining the size of the boxes, you should subtract 25 mm from the width of the opening to get a place to install the guides. (Guides installed below usually have a thickness of 10 mm. Instructions for installing them are given at the end of this article.) If you need to use brackets to mount the guides to the back wall of the case, reduce the length of the box so that it does not rest in the brackets when closing.
Roller guides inexpensive and available
Their advantages
- They are usually sold at a price of less than $ 10 per pair, and they can be found in most shopping centers.
- The boxes of such guides adjacent to the side walls from the bottom and side, so they are almost impossible to install incorrectly.
- Compared to other types of guides, they are less sensitive to small skews, because between the edges of the groove and the plastic roller there are gaps of about 1 mm.
- They do not need lubricant, and they are ideal for dusty premises, such as a joiner's workshop.
To simplify the installation, we attached the body part of the guides to the rear wall using standard brackets sold separately. Before starting work, divide the guides into two parts: a box and case.
First install the guides in the case
1. Place the housing part of the guide on the facade frame, slightly shifting its front edge into the opening. We recommend using the mounting device, with which it is convenient to hold the housing part in the desired position. (Photo A, B)or just hold it with your hand to align, as described next step. Drill the guide hole and screw one screw in the facade frame.
Holding the guide perpendicular to the facade frame, secure it with a screw. Magnetic device KREG facilitates work.
If the housing is on the horizontal surface, you can align the guides using a small level fixed by painted scotch.
2. Measure the gap between the side wall of the case and the guide to set it at a right angle to the facade frame (Photo C).
For the confidence that the guide parallel to the side wall, measure the distance from the front and rear.
After screwing into a horizontal slot, one screw, you can adjust the position of the box from the side to the side after installing the second guide.
3. Screw the screw to one of the horizontal slots on the rear bracket flange (PhotoD.).
4. Trade steps 1-3.on the other side of the opening.
Now do the box
With the help of attached screws, fasten the guide first at the front wall of the box. Then screw the screw from the long end.
1. Attach the box of the rail to the side wall of the drawer, shifting it by 1 mm back from the front (photo E).Do the same on the other side of the box.
2. Insert the box to the case and check the correct operation of the guides. If the box is stuck, loosen the rear brackets fastening screws and adjust the position of both body parts so that the rollers rolled smoothly.
If there is a skew, loosen the rear brackets fastening screws and shift the rear ends of the guides down until the gaps disappear.
3. Using the ruler, make sure that the front wall of the box is located in the housing (PhotoF.). If you need to lift a little or lower the box, first screw the screws into the middle of the vertical slot of the rear brackets. Remove the screws from the horizontal slots, correct the position of the box, shifting it up or down, and then screw the screws into horizontal slots again.
4. Aligning the front side of the box with the facade frame and having achieved smoothness, screw the screws into the rest of the holes to finally fasten the guides on the spot.
(If the boxes are mortar, their front walls will be facial surfaces. If it is planned to mount the fibers to the front walls, do it after installing the guides and adjust them).
Ball guides for large loads
Their advantages
Attach them first to the box
1. Initially, the box parts of the guides are installed. Shifting part of the guide and aligning them from the bottom and front wall of the box, secure the front end, screwing the screw to the vertical slot (PhotoG.). Then add the screw to the other end.
3. Do the same on the other side of the box, then separate the body parts of the guides.
Now - housing
Overoching the flange flex in the facade frame and holding the guide horizontally, attach it to the frame with two screws.
1. Insert the body part of the guide to the front mounting flange (which is sold separately) and tightly press the rear back of the flange to the back of the facade frame to create the necessary indent (Photo H).
2. Attach a small level (or use a level with a magnetic base from above, and use it to align the housing part horizontally. (First, with the help of wedges, it is required to achieve the horizontal of the hull itself.) Measure the gap between the guide and side wall to achieve parallelism.
With the help of a centering drill, make holes, and then screw the screw in the middle of the horizontal slot to adjust the position of the box.
3. Secure the rear mounting bracket on the back wall (Photo I).
4. Carefully insert the box into the case and move smoothly to work with both latches. For adjustment, use the same methods as for roller guides, starting with step 4.
5. Screw screws into the rest of the holes to finally fasten the guides.
Bottom guides are completely hidden from view.
Their advantages
- Due to their location, the drawer width can be almost equal width of the opening, only 3-millimeter clearances are required on each side.
- Using a single guide in the middle of the box reduces accessories costs .
If you install only one lower guide for each box, it is necessary to reduce the load by roughly twice as compared to the same boxes that have two guides. (Single guides are usually designed for a load of about 12 kg.) For their installation, not only screws are required - the bottom of the box must have a thickness of 12 mm, or you need to add a spacer, as shown on lower photoat the beginning of the article. Most guides of this type have a thickness of 10 mm, but under the bottom of the box should leave a 12 mm height space. This will provide a gap between the walls of the box and the facade frame.
First attach to the box
1. For a mortise box, align the guide in the middle of its width of the evening with the front wall. If the box has a false folder, make cutouts in the lower edges of the walls (PhotoJ.), to position the guide to the front of the drawer.
3. Align the guide and attach it with screws in front and rear (photo K).
Follow on the front and rear walls of a line with an indent of 3 mm from the guide and make the cuttings until the bottom of the box is the rest remove the chisel.
Securing the front end of the guide by one screw, measure the distance to the side wall to provide parallel.
How to mount the housing
1. Attach the front end of the guide to the facade frame with one screw (PhotoL.). For a mortise box, first fasten a 1 9 mm thick on the back of the front frame of the front frame, to which the guide will be attached.
2. Using the mounting bracket, attach the second end of the guide to the rear wall of the housing, controlling the perpendicularity with respect to the facade frame. If there is a dust panel in the case under the box, you can attach the guide directly to it, and not to the rear wall.
Attach the housing part in the middle of the outlook of the facade frame, shifting back by 1 mm. Maybe the screw will have to screw under small angle Because of the interfering crossbar above.
Antifriction linings not only do not give the box to scramble, but also make it sliding more smooth.
3. For additional support for the drawer and prevent distillates, install antifriction overlays in the corners of the front frame, where the side walls will slide (Photo M).
When assembling Factory Furniture Production Question about Mounting guides on retractable drawers Do not stand at all. Marking for the correct installation is usually done (and, very accurately), and the installation instructions are attached. We consider that all fittings are available and you do not have to pick any elements for fasteners. But when repairing furniture or during its production, it is necessary to independently calculate the position of the guides for the retractable elements of the furniture.
Ball guides
When choosing guides, preference is increasingly given by the ball. And this is no accident: balls for many parameters are superior to all other structures of the guides. They provide a slight extension of boxes, quite easily attached and adjustable, capable of fixing the retractable element in the usual position.
To buy them in the trading network ceased to be a problem, so it remains to learn them correctly fasten to furniture. To ensure this process you will need:
- guides;
- screws;
- screwdriver;
- line;
- pencil;
- awl.
Quality element
When buying pay attention to its length (it should be at least 70% of the length of drawers) and completeness. It is better to immediately acquire the design along with screws to not get additional problems. The ease of movement of the part of the design, check back in the store.
Balloons consist of two parts. To disclose them (and this is necessary for fasteners), click on the rubber lock and simply slide the inner part of the guide. It will be directly attached to the retractable element.
FEATURES Fastening to the box
You can mount devices on drawers in two versions: at the bottom edge of the side wall of the drawer or in the central part of them. Fastening the guides along the central axis of drawers is recommended if the dimensions of the boxes themselves are quite large. In this case, the load on the design will be less, which will ensure their durability. So the devices are fixed easier, but more difficult to adjust them. You take to simplify an additional tool called the level.
Only multiple measurements will help to do everything qualitatively. Without building level In this case, too, do not do. In other cases, ball guides should be attached to the bottom edge. And here there can also be several installation options: flush with the front panel of the drawer or with a small indentation of deep into. It is easier to fix the ball design according to the first option. So do not have additional marking, and the calculations will not be necessary. Facade panel The box will be disconnected.
Take in the hands of the guide and pave it to the sidebar. In places of fastening, make holes. So it will be easier for you to complete the screws strictly perpendicular to the panels. Hats will not hang around and prevent work. Directly on the boxes, the ball design can be immediately fixed inpatient. But on the side panels of the cabinets to do this is not recommended.
Marking and adjustment
Please note that the ball guides have both horizontal and vertical holes. They are designed to adjust the position. Conventional round holes are necessary for final fixation. For fastening the design on the side panel of the cabinet, it is necessary to make a thorough markup. Return from the bottom panel of the stands about 3 mm and on this height, swipe a horizontal line with a pencil. Along this line, place the guide (the line should be strictly under the guide) and wrap (not stopped) screws into all holes that have an oblong shape.
Now you can check their installation using a drawer: we combine parts of the guide and check the movement. If everything is done correctly, the box must move easily. With full closing of the box should work both clamps. If all this is not, the ball devices must be adjusted. Lightly release screws and achieve all flaws. And only after that, finally all screws must be screwed to the stop. On the last stage We screw fixing screws. It remains only to install the panel bar on the retractable box and fix it with screws.
At first, the clamps will work too hard: it will be possible to open the retractable box with great strength.
It is not necessary to scare this: over time, the clamps are developed, and everything will become much easier. If it does not suit you, then you can install ball guides and without clamps.
Ball structures without retainers are also not difficult to purchase. Well, if there were failed to find such, the clamps themselves easily remove with ordinary guides.
It is much more difficult to install ball devices on pull-out drawers, which before that were mounted roller. The fact is that roller guides are usually slightly wider, so the setting of other types may seem like an intractable problem. In reality, everything is not so difficult: it is enough to put under the guide durable tire on each side to level the difference in the thickness.
If the retractable elements are located over each other, then you cannot do without pay. There are even certain estimated formulaswhich express the relationship between the size of drawers and the place where the guide must be installed. Easier still get technological cardwhere all the calculations will be already produced.
Optimal method
An interesting way of marking, which completely eliminates all shortcomings of installation, recommend folk crafts. First they advise you to fasten the guides to the retractable items and connect both parts. Eurovintages on which the furniture housing is mounted, it is necessary to let go to allow the side panels to move aside.
On the outer part of the guide (the part that should be seamless to the sidebar of the case) is applied a layer of any coloring matter. The retractable box is neatly installed in the required position. It is recommended to put a cardboard sheet under it to provide the necessary gap between the bottom of the box and the lower case panel. After that, the screws are tightened until it stops. The coloring substance will give an accurate imprint on the surface.
It is in this place that the ball guide should be screwed to the side panels. The method is simple to genius: more precisely the guide will not be possible to deliver. The disadvantage is the fact that the furniture body will have to be subjected to partial dismantling.
The rear panel will definitely have to be separated, as it will prevent the free movement of the side panels. Is it worth doing to install the guide? The method is though exact, but not the fastest.
- Roller guides
- Installation of mechanisms
- Completion of work
Incorrect installation of guides on the side walls of the drawer can lead to unpleasant consequenceswhich cause the curvature of the whole design. It continues to continue wrong exploitation Products, which will lead to its quick breakage.
To avoid similar errors, you need to immediately get acquainted with the way of installing the drawer.
Roller guides
Currently, the widest distribution has 2 types of guides having roller and ball structures. Roller-type guides have low cost, thanks to this quality, they are very widely used in furniture structures, most often on the walls of the box.
Roller guides have very simple designwhich consists of 2 parts. The first part should be attached on the side wall of the drawer, and the second part is on the inner wall of the cabinet, the cabinet, etc. These guides can be made of steel or aluminum. On the guides that are installed on the boxes, there are rollers that ensure their movement. To eliminate the noise while moving the rollers, their design can be covered with a rubber shell.
Since the guides on the rollers are not a design intended for execution closed mounting, the enamel is applied to their surface, which is necessary to give a beautiful appearance of the whole design. Most often used paint white, black or brown colors.
The design of these guides is similar to rails that allow you to open and close the various moving furniture elements and do not apply a lot of effort. Conducted to be an inertial moment that occurs after a small shock on the box.

Installation of mechanisms
AT lately using roller mechanisms gained widespread. Due to this presence in apartments and houses of computers that are installed on special computer tables. Such tables have a leaving shelf to install the keyboard on it. Also, such mechanisms can be on various drawers, shelves and shelves. Collect such elements of furniture own forces. The main thing is responsible to approach this case.
The following tools will be needed for installation:
- drill;
- line;
- pencil;
- saws.
The installation scheme itself has pretty simple sequence And it is done very easily. To start the installation, it is necessary to mark on the drawer walls. You need to do it accurately to prevent further distortions that may occur in moving parts.
Next, it is necessary using a drill to drill holes, and they should not be through. The depth must be 12-14 mm - this is caused by the length of the self-tapping screws and the thickness list DSP. Similar holes need to be made on the case of the box (they must accurately coincide with the previous one).
Back to the category
Completion of work
For further installation, it is necessary to position the box in such a way that the end of one rail, which is on it, rested in the front of the front. This will allow the roller to be in the back of the element. After that, you need to perform the attachment of the rails using for this self-tapping screw. At the same time, it should be noted that the screw of the screws should not stand for the rail body by more than 1 mm. Similarly, the mount is performed on the opposite wall of the box.
The next step is to perform the installation of the guides in the closet. For this, rails are placed in such a way that it is in a perpendicular position relative to the facade. At the same time, the roller on the rail should be located in the front of the cabinet.
There are many slots and holes on the body of the rails, which are designed to adjust their position when fixing with self-assembly. By performing their installation in the closet, it is better to use elongated slots, as they will allow you to perform the desired adjustment. By configuring and securing the guide, you need to make the same operation on the opposite side.
After that, you can insert boxes on the guides. If everything was done correctly and no distortion is not allowed, the drawer movement must be smooth and soft without attaching great efforts.
Installing roller guides to perform quite easily, and it does not take much time. To do this, prepare required tool And have the minimum skills of its use.
Before starting the design, you need to decide on the type of guides to be used. I will tell you how to design a drawer with roller guides and with overhead facades.
This is how roller guides look like:
For one drawer, two pairs of guides are needed. Some guides are attached to the drawer, while others are on the furniture racks.
In order to design, and then install boxes you need to know the following parameters:
- the height of the facades of the boxes;
- the size of the boxes - width, depth, height;
- Dimensions for fastening guides on the racks.
For example, you need to make a chest of drawers into four boxes. Dimensions of the chest: width - 800mm, height without legs - 800mm, depth -440 mm.
The lid of the chest will hang over the facades, there will be overhead. To calculate the boxes, the parameters of roller guides will be used.
The first with which you need to decide - the height of the facades. We draw the diagram of the chest, side view. First, we put mandatory gaps: between the lid of the chest and the upper facade - 4mm; Between the facades - 2-3mm, indentation from the bottom of the beam -2 mm.
Calculate the height of the facades:
1) plus all the gaps and indents: 4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 \u003d 12;
2) from the working height of the chest, take the amount obtained: 784 -12 \u003d 772;
3) I share the result resulting on the number of facades: 772: 4 \u003d 193
The height of one facade is 193 mm. The width of the facade is less than the total width of the product 4mm: 800 - 4 \u003d 796mm.
The box consists of two sidewalls, anterior, rear wall and bottom.
The front and rear walls are embedded between the sidewalls. For wide boxes, you can add another detail: a black box of the drawer. She will prevent the dove of the box. A mesh bar is attached between the front and rear walls. Bottom is nourished bottom from the fiberboard. The bottom must be attached to all the walls and to the coupling bar.
Determine the size of the details of the box.
To determine the height of the drawer walls, I use the rule - the height of the drawer is at least 50mm less than the height of the box of the box. In my case, 193 -50 \u003d 143mm. Round up to 140mm.
The length of the side walls is equal to the length of the guides. The depth of 440 mm, the roller guides of 400 mm long will be used, it means that the length of the side walls is equal to - 400mm.
First, we determine the width of the dresser's opening - from the total width, we take away the thickness of two racks of 16mm: 800 - (16 * 2) \u003d 768.
Between the side wall of the box and the stalk of the chest, there must be a gap equal to the thickness of the guide
The thickness of one pair of roller guides is 12.5 mm.
The total thickness of the two pairs of roller guides 12.5 + 12.5 \u003d 25mm. Add another millimeter to eliminate the hiding screws of the screws for the guides, the overall gap is - 26mm.
In order to find out the width of the front wall of the box, you need from the width of the opening to take the thickness of the guide and the thickness of the side walls of the drawer. The thickness of the guides is already known - 26mm, and the thickness of the side walls of the drawer is 16 + 16 \u003d 32mm.
The width of the front (rear) wall is: 768 - (26 + 32) \u003d 710mm.
It turned out the details of such sizes:
side wall 400 x 140 - 2pcs;
front (rear) wall 710 x 140 - 2pcs;
bottom 737 x 395.
Now you need to place the fastening lines of the guides to the racks of the chest. Marking must always start from the top edge of the part. And even if you are a little mistaken, it will not be noticeable at the bottom. I use me for marking next rule: The line to which the guide will be screwed must be 35mm above the bottom of the facade.
I have four boxes, there must be four lines. I think:
1st line. 4 (indentation from the top) + 193 (the height of the facade) - 35 \u003d 162mm
2nd line. 4 + 193 + 2 (gap between facades) + 193 - 35 \u003d 357mm
3rd line. 4 + 193 + 2 + 193 + 2 + 193 - 35 \u003d 552mm
4th line. 4 + 193 + 2 + 193 + 2 + 193 + 2 + 193 - 35 \u003d 747mm
The mechanism of roller guides is a pair of so-called rails, between which several (2 or more) small wheels are installed.
Roller guides are the simplest devices and installation guides.
The latter provide the movement of both parts of the device in two opposite directions, That is, it allows you to increase the length of the design and return it to its original state.
Move occurs in the same plane (usually horizontal) and limited by the sizes of the poloz.
The material of each component has a significant impact not only to the degree of mobility of the guides, but also on the durability of the entire mechanism. To maximize the service life of the device, the rails are made of metal, and to provide necessary stroke Calls rollers are made of plastic.
Roller guides for drawers.
The main reason for using roller guides is practically complete absence friction between moving parts. But this process strictly leads to damage and subsequent destruction of interacting surfaces and the design as a whole.
You can find roller guides for drawers with a depth of 250 to 800 mm, that is, practically for all cases.
In addition, due to friction, much more effort is required to move the polozov, which also occurs at a lesser rate.
Covered roller guides with durable epoxy enamel.
Possessing its own set useful propertiesBall guides have long been competing with roller.
Ball guides as well as roller consist of their two parts. One of them is attached to the box, the other on the side wall.
In the first case, the role of components, providing mobility improvised rails, is a small ball, and in the second - a small video.
Mechanism of ball guides.
The mechanism of roller guides.
And even though, in the manufacture of the latter, bearings containing spherical elements can be used, it was this feature of the mechanisms that caused their name.
Roller guides withstand dynamic loads up to 25 kg.
If we talk about the popularity of these devices, then the most common roller products are considered the most common.
Cons of roller guides are noise with which they are extended and closed.
Their demand was influenced by the fact that the ball guides are much more common in an indispensable version. This does not impede installation so much or makes it difficult how much the scope of the mechanism is seriously limited.
The varieties of ball guides are many, they differ mainly in height, as well as by the degree of extension and the presence of the closer.
Use roller guides in drawer design
In some minutes, the scope of roller guides is inextricably linked with furniture production.
It is in this area that such objects are most often involved.
The device is usually used to make wardrobes with folding rods, shoe tumb with hidden niches and cabinets with drawers. Since the latter are common in more than, they will be discussed in the future.
An example of using roller guides to extend boxes in the end.
Fastening the mechanism is carried out on the side walls of the box on the outside, which does not contribute to the decrease useful space Box itself.
Roller guides are partial extension guide.
This means that a fully drawer to push you cannot.
In order not to damage the rear wall of the cabinet and not to disconnect the box from it, the location contains special limiters that take the appearance of artificial irregularities on the surface of the rails.
The correct calculation and installation is the basis for the successful use of roller guides.
And in order to provide additional features regarding the removal and installation of the box, the main components have technological holes.
Ball guides would not allow to pull out and insert a box after assembling furniture without disturbing its facades.
Installation of roller guides for drawers
The use of a mechanism with pressure pushers, which also perform the role of limiters, allows without loss of functionality to maintain the appearance of the furniture facades and its rear wall.
Standard with installed roller guides.
We establish the boxes themselves inside the box and get the finished piece of furniture.
Video: Installing roller guides.
50 photo-ideas of drawers with different mechanisms:
For independent manufacture Furniture - various lockers with presence of drawers - key Moment The assembly is the installation of the guides. Roller guides provide the process of moving the retractable element.The mechanism of the retractable system is fairly simple and includes rollers and uses, for which they are moved. Rollars are fixed on outside Box box. Users for their movement are installed inside the cabinet over the sides of a free niche. When performing the assembly of the mechanism, it is very important to install the items so that they clearly coincide. If inaccuracy is admitted, the furniture will be spoiled. AT best case The mechanism will also do not work smoothly. AT worse case Collect the drawer will not be able to collect, and all applied materials will be spoiled. In addition, to dismantle the mechanism can be quite problematic. Before working, you need to perform simple calculations to get the desired result.
Calculation of guides
To make the boxes perfectly occupied the place allotted by them, you need to perform calculations for roller guides before installing them. Describe the order of calculations is best on the example. If you need to build, for example, bedside Tumbler With two identical drawers, first of all you need to measure its parameters. For the cabinet with the height of the sidewall 367, the height of the base 70 and the gap between the facades the height of one facade will be: (368-70-2 * 3) / 2 \u003d 146 mm.
With the same sizes of elements optimal option Their installation is to make them interchangeable.
For this, the calculation necessarily takes into account the extreme positions of the boxes. In addition, you should pay attention to the overwest of the facades and the carcass of the couches. The lower boundary of the installation of roller guides is determined by the bottom of the couch. When installing the box on it, the bottom should coincide with its lower edge.
In order to avoid hiding the bottom of the couch, you need to add 4 mm on the screw of the self-press. The height of the fastening of the lower element of the mechanism will be equal to the sum of the height of the screw of the self-press and the magnitude of the axial line of the hole, that is, this example: 18 + 4 \u003d 22 mm. You can calculate the location of the details of the mechanism from the lower end of the sidewalls of the couch. In this case: the base + bottom thickness + the height of the fastening of the guide from the bottom \u003d 70 + 16 + 22 \u003d 108 mm.
It is worth paying attention to that the head of the self-pressing head is usually less than 4 mm. Its average sizes - 1-1.5. The size is adopted for 4 for the versatility of the calculation. Its obtained results will be applicable and if the material is 18 mm thick for the manufacture of the stands, and not 16. In this case, a small gap will still remain.
In the same order, calculations of the height of the facade for the upper element are carried out, only taking into account the location of the lower. After performing the calculations and markup on the data obtained, you can move to the installation.
Ball guides are actively applied to furniture makers to extend boxes. The basis of ball guides usually good-quality iron, a lot of modifications and manufacturers are also a lot.
Ball guides Named because the movements of the components of the guides occurs due to metal balls, as in the bearings. Strong steel balls move inside the profile, providing a stable light slide of drawers from any material and any size, even at high loads.
The design of the ball guides came up with our Russian engineer of the Kulkov, so you can meet another such name as Kulkova guides. But on the commercial basis for the sale of such guides, they set abroad.
On the ball guides set the retractable baskets in the cabinets of the coupe, baskets for detergents. On the pages of the site described interesting application Guides to extend the original shoes in the closet of the coupe.
In principle, the Tandem guides from Blum can be attributed to the ball guides, which almost one in one copied many other fittings manufacturers.
In the article, consider the ball guides from the GTV, the Mark Polish, but recently produced in China, it seems that the quality of it suffered not much. Guides gtv Sold everywhere in the European part of Russia, the price of them is acceptable, closer to the east of most likely sell Chinese counterparts.
Another name of the ball guides, which you can meet it telescopic guides.
GTV ball guides
Ball guides 17 mm high for drawers
Height guides 17 mm length from 182 mm to 438 mm, hold the load to 8-10 kg. Guides partial extension. The manufacturer recommends turning on the sidewall of the box of the groove with a depth of 10 mm and a height of 17 mm. Perfect solution For use in the chest. When installing the guide assembly is attached to the side wall of the product, and then with the help of screws to the sidewall of the box.
Ball guides height 27 mm for drawers
Guides Height is 27 mm, a length of 250 mm to 500 mm in a step of 50 mm, withstand the load of 15 kg. Unlike the first option, the milling of the groove on the side wall is not required. To calculate the dimensions of the box in width, it is necessary to leake 22 mm from the width of the inner opening of the product.
Ball guides with a height of 35 mm for drawers
Guides with a height of 35, with a length of 250 mm to 500 mm, withstand the load of more than 20 kg, there are options for complete extension. In general, resembles a 27 mm guide.
Ball guides 45 mm high for drawers
Ball guides 45 mm high is the most common and actively used type of ball guides. There are different modifications of 250 to 700 mm long. Restore loads are already serious up to 36-38 kg.
Guides before installing must be disconnected, for this you need to raise or lower the black lever.
This separation system is on most ball guides, including for baskets installed in the kitchen stands.
In the photo below shows a retractable basket for dishes with mounting to the bottom inverted "on the ass". We press the black lever and separate the basket from the guides, then there will be no problems with the installation of the basket.
To calculate the dimensions of the drawer in width, it is necessary from the inner width of the body of 26 mm, as for roller guides.
Release ball guides 45 mm high and partial extension with a closer or without. In addition, there are Push to Open ball guide guides, that is, click to open, the handle for opening the box is not required. Remind the system called Tip ON for Tandem Blum guides.
And the manufacturer Hettich has ball guides of superfluel extension.
Installation of ball guides
Consider the most common the method of calculating ball guidesThe program is not required.
We take our basic standard with a height of 720 mm without taking into account the legs and a width of 600 mm with two facades with a height of 356 m, with drawers with a height of 150 mm. Boxes at the height of the facade of 356 mm can be made high and 200, and 250 mm, it all depends on your or the customer's desire.
Ball guides Usually fasten through the central axis of the side wall of the drawer, although some prefer to roll closer to the bottom edge of the sidewall of the box.
Calculation will be conducted for the installation of the guide along the axis of the side wall of the box. Blacks are a simple drawing, you can from hand, as in the picture. Before marking, decide which the gaps between the facades are, in our embodiment between the facades we take 4 mm, and from above and below 2 mm.
The axis of drilling the first ball guide \u003d 2 + 34 + 75 \u003d 111 mm, where:
- 2 is a gap of 2 mm below (the facade is superimposed on a 16 mm thickness horizontal at 14 mm, 2 mm remains)
- 75 is the middle of the side wall of the drawer, total height Box 150 mm. If the bottom of the box is from the batch, the height, taking into account the Fiberboard, will be 153 mm. But, for calculations, we still take 150 mm.
The axis of drilling the second ball guide \u003d 2 + 356 + 4 + 34 + 75 \u003d 471 mm, where:
- 2 is a 2 mm gap from below 356 - the height of the lower facade
- 4 - gap between facades
- 34 - distance from the bottom edge of the facade to the lower edge of the drawer
Horizontal axis drilling front wall box \u003d 75 mm, from the right and left edges of the front wall retreating 50 mm and we obtain coordinates of the drilling of the front wall.
Point on the x-axis under the tapping screw on the facade \u003d 34 + 75 \u003d 109 mm, where:
- 34 - distance from the bottom edge of the facade to the lower edge of the drawer
- 75 is the middle of the side wall of the drawer.
Point along the Y axis, for notches under the self-tapping screw for the right and left edges of the facade \u003d 50 + 16 + 13 + 14 \u003d 93 mm, where:
- 50 - indents on the x axis from the edges when drilling the front wall of the drawer
- 16 - Through the side wall thickness of the box
- 13 - Clearance for setting a ball guide
- 14 - the imposition of the facade on the side wall of the case (i.e. 2 mm remains a gap between the edge of the side wall and the edge of the facade with the thickness of the side wall of the body 16 mm).
Usually, no calculations do not lead, but simply drill four holes in the front wall of the box, the necessary indents measure the necessary indents, put the box on the facade and screw the first two screws. Make the fitter, if well, the remaining two screws are spinning. No, unscrewed, you are shifted to the distance and check again.
After calculating, go to the markup. Marking We carry through the roulette, the iron line of the solid pencil. Places of fastening the guides with the help of screws with a core with a core or make notches with sewing.
Ball guides
Equipment of drawers with ballpoint (telescopic) guides gives significant advantages when operating. They provide smooth and silent gliding boxes in kitchen cabinets, dressers, wardrobes and other furniture.
The components of the guides are easily moving due to durable metal balls, which is inside the profile, which allows you to put forward loaded boxes for full length if necessary. Separate models are extended by 90 cm and withstand the load up to 45 kg.
In addition to these advantages, it is possible to note their available cost, wear resistance and, which is important, ball guides for drawers will not be difficult to establish independently.
In order for the mechanism to work flawlessly, it is necessary to correctly mark the sections of the components of the components. There should be gaps between the drawer wall and the side of the cabinet on both sides, in which guides will be placed. This is usually 13 cm on each side.
Drawer Details Calculation Scheme The length of the guides ranges from 25 to 90 cm in 5 cm increments, they must be shorter than the box itself approximately 6-10 cm. Therefore, the mechanism is fixed in the middle of the side wall of the box, leaving small gaps in front and rear.
Also between the rear walls of the box and the cabinet should remain at least 10 mm of free space. The easiest way to make marking and secure the guides in the process of assembling furniture is much more convenient and faster.
Marking and installation
First of all, fastening the fastening lines. At the box it is recommended to mount the guides in the center, but installation is allowed and in its lower part. Similar line are placed on the inner side of the cabinet. The smoothness of the course and the duration of operation of the mechanism will depend on the measurement accuracy.
Before installing the guides, separated by half: pressing black "mustache", pull the inner part of the device. The halves are attached to the placed lines, then put in place the box, try it to close and push it.
If everything was done correctly, the retainer will work and the light click will be heard. This is a signal to final consolidation of guides. Otherwise, it will have to, slightly weaken fasteners, still adjust the mechanism.
On both parts of the design there are oblong holes: vertical designed to move the plank up-down, and horizontal - to adjust horizontally. After carefully adjusting the mechanism, you can finally fasten the elements with self-draws or screws.
Telescopic guides are released right and left, they cannot be rearranged.
Guides can provide partial or full nomination Boxes, to be with closers or without, to equip the Push to Open system, when the box has no handle, and just click on it to open. Also products can be equipped with a reliable retainer holding boxes in a closed position.
Video: Replacing telescopic guides
The most popular furniture makers today are telescopic (ball) guides full and incomplete extensions, which have a number of advantages: low cost, simplicity of installation and adjustment, smooth and silent move, stability, long service life. Consider how quickly and correctly install ball guides for retractable boxes.
Set of ball guides It consists of two steel symmetric telescopic polozov: the left and right, each of which is disassembled into two components moving relative to each other using metal bearing balls, which ensures reliability and smoothness of the stroke. A broader base is attached to the sidewalls, and narrow retractable part - to the box itself.
Calculation of details of the drawer.
As a collectible drawer without a facade, in width (between the box and the sidewall product), there should be gaps in 13 mm on each side (or the gap is made according to the instructions for a specific ball guide). In depth, the box should be equal to the length of the guide, usually they have a length from 250 to 800 mm in a step of 50 mm. It is also no need to leave a gap at least 10 mm between back wall Chest and rear drawer wall. In height, it is usually done based on the needs of a person, the height is usually 80 - 250 mm.
Installing ball guides.
We divor the ball guides until it stops, pressing the plastic black tongue, pull the narrow bar.
On the sidewall drawer marks the line in the center and the narrow retractable bar is screwed. On the sidewall, the product is marked with the line of installation, taking into account the location of the boxes and the installed guide on the drawer. In the same way, the base of the guide on the other side is established, after which the drawer simply starts in its place in the product.
