Blum Tip-On Movento Drawer Slides
With these slides, just a light push with a hip or elbow is all it takes to fully open or close the drawer – a real convenience when you have wet or sticky hands, and a significant aid for those with reduced mobility.
A light push on the drawer front releases an internal catch, so the drawer automatically pops forward and glides open. Another light push easily closes it, activating Blumotion dampers that gently pull the drawer through the last portion of its travel, ensuring it closes firmly without slamming shut.
The concealed carriage-style slides have a smooth-running nylon gear system that minimizes friction, so you can operate even heavy drawers with minimal noise and effort.
Straightforward to install, they have adjustment mechanisms that let you fine-tune drawer position (vertical, horizontal, level and flush) for a precise fit. Quick-release locking fittings permit easy drawer removal for cleaning.
Compare to traditional wooden slides and side mounted ball bearing
slides, this type of self closing tip on under-mounted slides come at a price.
Its rails are hidden so the beautiful work of the drawer can be shown. They
allow for full extension which makes the drawer's content completely
accessible.
They are much quieter and smooth running than the side mounted
rails. With the soft closing feature, when
you give the opened drawer a push, it closes most of the way, then at about
1-1/2″ from full closure, this mechanism comes into play, pulling the drawer
home. The soft close feature has two advantages: first, it closes the drawer
for you. Second, and more important, it prevents the spring mechanism from
snapping the drawer back forcefully, which would pose a risk to children’s
fingers.
