Furniture repair · Mordialloc
For drawer repair at your Mordialloc property, start with the product and the practical requirements. Runner wear, a distorted box and damaged fixing support can produce similar symptoms but need different repair decisions. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving existing drawer fronts, boxes, fixings and compatible runners and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Drawer Repair
existing drawer fronts, boxes, fixings and compatible runners
Mordialloc property context
For Mordialloc enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested drawer repair. Runner wear, a distorted box and damaged fixing support can produce similar symptoms but need different repair decisions. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. Show gates, fence components and external fittings with their supports and adjacent sections. Note movement and access rather than describing the issue only as weathered or damaged.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
