Drawer Repair
existing drawer fronts, boxes, fixings and compatible runners
Garfield property context
Planning drawer repair in Garfield starts with the actual item and its setting. Show the drawer open and closed, its runners and the affected fixing, without forcing or removing a jammed drawer. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. Garfield sits near Vervale, Tynong, Iona and Bunyip. 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.
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.
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.
Describe where movement stops and whether the drawer sits unevenly. Overfilling, runner damage and a distorted box can feel similar in use. Avoid forcing it closed; a wider photograph can reveal the relationship between the drawer front and surrounding cabinet.
Planning the work
Runner wear, a distorted box and damaged fixing support can produce similar symptoms but need different repair decisions. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
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.
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.
Show the drawer open and closed, its runners and the affected fixing, without forcing or removing a jammed drawer. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.

Service overview
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.
A worn small component may be replaceable when a matching part exists and the remaining box is sound. The decision depends on condition and availability. A photo-based enquiry should not promise that discontinued hardware can be sourced or adapted.
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.
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.
