Drawer Repair
existing drawer fronts, boxes, fixings and compatible runners
Jacana property context
Planning drawer repair in Jacana 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. For a Jacana quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Jacana address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.

Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
FAQ
Assess suitable minor drawer repairs, compatible runner replacement and front alignment while retaining sound components where practical. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.

Mention stairs, restricted entry, furniture obstructions and the person arranging access. Any unusual handling or equipment requirement should be reviewed before a date is agreed rather than assumed from the suburb.

Runner wear, a distorted box and damaged fixing support can produce similar symptoms but need different repair decisions.
