Full-extension runnersÂ
Overview and order are almost indispensable in drawers. But even more important is the smooth opening and closing of the drawers. After all, what could be more annoying than a drawer that sticks? Or one that you are reluctant to open because you are always afraid the contents might fly out at you? With the full-extension pull-outs from Heimwerkertools, there's no more blocking and jarring: they allow freely accessible loading and unloading with a gentle pushing motion at the same time.

Advantages of a full-extension drawer
Having trouble putting things away or taking them out because you can't pull the drawer out completely? Drawers with partial pull-outs can only be opened up to 75 %. The solution: full-extension drawers. They can be pulled out completely, making the contents of the drawer fully accessible and giving you a better overview. If you need even more flexibility, you can opt for an over-extension runner. This even extends beyond the carcase.
Â
Floor mounting makes for even easier play
A particularly high level of stability is achieved by using a full-extension runner with floor mounting. In this case, the pull-out is attached directly to the base of a cupboard in order to be able to support a higher weight. Assembly is simple, is done with the screws and couplings provided, and is done in a very short time. Essential here: You should work with millimetre precision so that the drawer can be inserted exactly on the rails later. This way, opening and closing works smoothly and you can finally start putting away your utensils.
