After an hour and a half of trying to undo the mistake with the drawer, we decided to google it. Found your video and you basically our lives. Thank you for the little Phillips release clip hack you shared. My husband was ready to rip the drawer apart and then just go buy another one. Never had issues with Ikea stuff before. We are definitely getting too old for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Fantastic! Have an awesome day!
Hello, ok you said that we can adjusted the drawer ok, but you didn’t explain exactly which way to tourne the screw le or right, I really didn’t understand how to adjust exactly
Show us how to do it, which way tourne and which screw, please
You, hands down, have the best IKEA how to videos. Thank you
Thanks kody these videos are going help so many people.
Thanks. The drawer instructions are the only ones I didn’t keep for some reason
Thank you. I've taken the drawer fronts off before, but I had forgotten how to do it. You jogged my memory. Cheers.
Awesome, this video made my friday since I'd started trying to dismantle the entire drawer, thanks
The most basic info that people need to know is, when dealing with the two screws, which direction brings the drawer front left or right and which brings it up or down. Also, why does the up/down adjustment seem to go up and down to infinity when continuing to turn the screw in one direction.
Has anyone found the answer to this?
Thanks so much for a complete explanation of adjusting and removing the drawer front. You were a great help!!
Excellent! Glad to hear
Great video. Thank you. Which way (clockwise / counterclockwise) do you turn the screws for left / right adjustment.
Nice and clear
🙏
Thank you!! You saved me from a migraine. 🙌
Just wanted to thank you very much for the tips...they are life saver 🙌
You’re welcome! All the best
Many thanks to Ikea for not making a video like this. I called them and they actually said to look on CZcams.
Thank you!
Thank you very much! Just could not figure out the spacing... Your video helped!
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much, you are a life savor :D
Saved us valuable time, thank you so much
You’re welcome!
How do "twist" the cabeint front? The top of the drawer is slanted and sitting closer to the outside of the cabinet than the bottom. Moving them side to side isnt doing anything
Thank you for the hidden philips
Great info, but give a reminder that if the bumper mount thing is screwed into the drawer front just behind the door front at the bottom, triggering the cams wont work because that screw holding the front to the drawer bottom will keep it from releasing.
Hi! Any tips on how to remove the drawer off of the frame mounted rails? I don't seem to have the small white plastic tab underneath each side, at the front part of the drawer that I've seen in other videos. I need to reinstall the drawer as I mounted it for a recessed drawer rather than one that has a front which rests against the frame. This causes the soft close to not function because the drawer is installed too far back. Thanks in advance for any help
This is a great video, however Ikea are now using cheap plastic adjusters which aren’t so easy
My grey side screw that moves the face front right or left continuously turns. It doesn't seem to tighten at any point. Like it's not grabbing tension.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
You’re welcome
Took my drawer front off to adjust it and now I can't get it to click back on, what did I do wrong? Is there a way to fix it or do I need to buy a new maximera drawer?
Cheers. Looks so obvious on the vid. Now to wreck something else!
Thank youuuuuu!
You’re welcome!
Would like to know if one side is clockwise adjust and the other CCW. Also, do you need to remove the bottom screw for left / right adjustments? My side to side adjustments don't seem to be doing much
My left right doesn't do anything either. So annoying
I am also frustrated as hell, with this setup. Ikea gives no indication as to CCW or CW to make the drawer front go left or right. I turn both ways and nothing seems to happen. Besides if I turn the right screw CW does that mean I have to turn the left screw CCW? This video doesn't explain anything.
Thanks buddy, trying to get the front back off was driving me nuts.
You’re welcome
I presume that these drawers you are working on have the soft closer on them, it the little gray pieces that clips onto the back of the drawer rail. Do you know where to get spares of these. 4 of my drawers slam shut now.
Yes you are correct about the soft close. I’m certain you can order those from IKEA independently from the drawer hardware
Hi Kody, Do you have any tricks to adjusting the tilt on a medium drawer front, on a low draw without the side rail? Where there is a hidden draw behind the medium draw front.
Good question. I am not sure unfortunately. Besides the thinnest shim known to man.
Thanks Kody, I used a little red tiler’s wedge on either side. The draw front is straight but it doesn’t look the best.
Sometimes that’s all you can do. Thanks for reaching out.
Thank you
You’re welcome
Are the IKEA directions wrong when installing doors/drawers? It seems that if I follow the directions, the screw holes they tell you to use are incorrect.
The left to right on mine just keeps spinning with no movement. Probably stripped the plastic screw🥴
impossible to adjust laterally, doest'nt move at all, ikea plastic screw never able to move mechanism, tried for couple hours one side or both side screw right and unscrew left side , nothing is working, cheap stuff :(
I am trying to adjust the angle of the drawer as it is slanted along the side. The top left is a good 8th of an inch out to the bottom. I think I need to turn the screw at the back but it doesn't move even a little bit! In your video, it looks like it moves quite freely but it doesn't turn at all 4 me! Is there a way to get them unstuck? BTW, this is the drawer where both drawers are attached and come out together when you pull open the drawer, if that makes a difference in adjusting.
Shoot. Hopefully you figure it out. One side might be maxed so you can do the opposite on the other side to try and get it to move. Wish I could be more help
Thanks for the video. I did the hidden drawers, now i cant open the cupboard. I tried the screw that makes it go out but only made it go out a little. You showed it with the hinges open and the drawers open. You did not show how you got the hinges to do that, can you explain?
I’m not sure what you mean. I’m guessing you have the wrong hinges on the doors that don’t allow the door to get out of the way so the drawers can slide out? Am I close or totally off?
@@uptokode yes, that is correct. Did not know there is a special hinge for the door so went to Ikea and got the hinge. Also did a mini facelift for the kitchen with about 20 new gold knobs. I love Ikea how you can keep changing the setup all the time, thank you for the video!
You’re welcome! Glad you got it figured out
Thanks a lot! I thought it was black magic.
Mine are 1/2 inch too high and there is no way to lower if more; they are in the lower placement. Can these adjustment lower the drawer by 1/2 an inch???
I have other videos on how to read the instructions so that you use the correct spacing on the slides depending on what front layout you are using. I don’t remember the name of the video but it will definitely help you.
What I did was took off the drawer fronts and moved the attachment points up one (lowering the fronts). Alternatively, where the rails mount, you could lower them, but that doesn't work for the lowest ones.
Need help figuring out why there's too much space between drawer fronts -
daddy is cute
Go get a life! Ikea has all the instuctions with all their drawers, no problem. Get lost!
If you don’t like it, don’t watch it, many people need these kinds of ‘show-it-to-me” instructions.
Not every Maximera drawer is equipped with this type of runner. Mine didn't have the plastic clips so it was a lift and pull - simples! And NO Ikea includes no info that covers this with the delivery, or on-line!
Sometimes it’s a struggle.
Thank you!
You’re welcome
