Drawer Repair
existing drawer fronts, boxes, fixings and compatible runners
Service overview
Remove contents if this can be done safely without forcing the drawer. Weight can conceal how the runner behaves and make handling difficult. Let Fix Nik know if valuables or a jammed mechanism prevent access so preparation can be discussed.
Loose corners, a damaged base or swollen panels can affect the whole drawer, even if the runner still moves. Identify moisture exposure or previous repairs. Major reconstruction or bespoke replacement boxes are outside a minor furniture repair assumption.
Runner length, fixing positions and mechanism type all matter when replacement is considered. A visually similar fitting may not work with the existing box. Share labels or product records and avoid buying parts until compatibility has been checked.
The agreed service covers suitable furniture drawer fixings, fronts, compatible runners and minor non-structural joinery. Exclusions: Cabinet door hinges (existing Cabinet Repair), appliance-integrated systems, plumbing, major built-in alteration, bespoke manufacture.
Common situations
A drawer-like front can conceal an appliance or service connection. Identify the unit before requesting work. Appliance mechanisms, plumbing and major built-in alterations are excluded from this furniture drawer service and may require the appropriate specialist.
An uneven gap may result from loose runner fixings, a detached front or movement in the cabinet itself. Show neighbouring drawers as well as the fault. Adjustment is useful only when the parts and the material supporting them remain suitable.
A loose drawer front can involve its connecting hardware or the material around the fixing. Show both the front and accessible attachment points. Repeatedly tightening a screw into damaged material may not provide the support needed for normal use.
Coimadai property context

Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
How it works
Show the drawer open and closed, its runners and the affected fixing, without forcing or removing a jammed drawer.
Runner wear, a distorted box and damaged fixing support can produce similar symptoms but need different repair decisions.
Assess suitable minor drawer repairs, compatible runner replacement and front alignment while retaining sound components where practical.
Confirm the Coimadai address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Check travel with sensible loading and follow the hardware limits. Stop using a drawer that drops, jams or has a loose front until assessed.
Planning the work
Check travel with sensible loading and follow the hardware limits. Stop using a drawer that drops, jams or has a loose front until assessed. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Assess suitable minor drawer repairs, compatible runner replacement and front alignment while retaining sound components where practical. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
