Drawer Repair
existing drawer fronts, boxes, fixings and compatible runners
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Waterford Park property context
An occupied Waterford Park property may need preparation before drawer repair can begin. Show the drawer open and closed, its runners and the affected fixing, without forcing or removing a jammed drawer. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Waterford Park sits near Sunday Creek, Kilmore East, Wandong and Heathcote Junction. 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.
