Signs: a bounded task needs a clear decision before work is scheduled or a practical repair list needs the affected item and its condition identified. Causes: ordinary use, visible wear or local damage or conditions that need direct review before a repair option is chosen.
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.
Common situations

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.
