Identify kitchen drawers/How to remove them

[di9]

I need to remove one or two of these drawers to do some work on the wall behind, but I can't see how to get them out.

I'm guessing there's some sort of removable latch on the roller guides hidden somewhere, because they don't seem to be the sort where you pull and lift out.


How can I remove them?

Or can you identify the model?? That way I can hunt for some online instructions.


Some pics. Before the awful paint job, it looks like they were a gloss black (see last pic):

I think this is the original gloss black finish they had on the front:

Thank you.

I solved it. For anyone coming across this in the future, here's what I did.

I trawled through "how to remove kitchen drawer" videos on youtube. There are different types, so it was well worth watching them. Mine didn't enitrely match the drawers I'd seen, but I picked up enough to gamble.

Turns out these were of the kind that you extend out, and then pull upwards. In my case, it needed quite a bit more force than I had thought, and one side on one drawer stubbornly refused to release. But jiggling and poking with a screwdriver at anything that looked vaguely like a moving part on the rail, followed by a sharp upward pull, released it. There are a lot of sharp edges and pinch points, so need to be careful.

That's it. Getting them back on again might be fun, but I'll cross that bridge later.

If you cant find the clip/pin, unscrew from within the carcass, it looks like there is room as they fully pull out

Your post overlapped mine. Did you find out the make of the drawer slides e.g. Blum?

No, I've no idea what it is. Knowing became less important once I was able to remove them. But it may become important again when I get round to refitting the drawers, but from what I've gathered it should be reasonably straightforward to get them back in.

Good of you to follow up, though. Thanks!
