replacing Blum drawer-front adjuster?

11 years ago

I posted this in Woodworking as well--sorry if that's confusing, to have two posts on That home Site/Houzz with the same topic, but I'm thinking there might be a different crew of people.


My drawer fronts are attached to the box w/ the Blum drawer-front adjuster.

Two of them are broken; one cracked, and the metal part inside slips out; the other one (I think) came out of the wooden drawer front.

I can buy the adjusters; but is it possible to replace them?

I don't know if they're simply hammered into the holes, and held in place by the pressure, as a nail is. (it doesn't look like they screw in)
If that's the case, is it possible to get them out of the hole and put a new one in the same hole?

Any advice?

(I suppose I could try to find a cabinetmaker and see if they'd drill a new hole in the drawer front and the drawer box, in a new position...)
