How to fix the front onto a pan drawer

The guide below explains how to fix the drawer front to the pan drawer mechanism.

Pan drawers are similar to normal drawers but rails are fitted on either side of the drawer box back and the rear of the drawer front.

Please Note:
There is no different drilling position for the handle-less version of the pan drawer fixing.

Drill 4 pilot holes for drawer front clips and 2 pilot holes for side rail cup brackets in the positions shown on rear of drawer front. Then screw fix drawer front clips and side rail cup brackets to the rear of the drawer front.

Attaching side rails to pan drawer

Next, attach pan drawer box to front as on a standard drawer then push plastic bush on end of side rails into cup brackets on rear of drawer front.

Now, lower the side rail into position and push the rail sleeves forward to cover the front fixing bush. Push the rear rail fixing clips onto the corners of the drawer back panel and clip into place.
