Hello,

I bought the sink cabinet with drawers (Item number: 598.688.19) and want to install it with the [Blankett grips], i.e. both at the top and on the middle piece between the fronts. The problem now is that the connection rails (117786 and 117785) of the drawer fronts would rest on the [Blankett grip], because there is only one drawer, but visually it looks as if there were two, which are only connected by the rails.

My question is therefore whether anyone has already installed a [Blankett grip] on the middle piece between the fronts and if that worked without any problems, or if you have to put washers under the screws so that the rail is not under tension in order to compensate for the height of the [Blankett grip]? Do the fronts stand crooked due to the height of the [Blankett]? And can you then see the rail above the [Blankett grip] from the front?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

Blankett is visually so narrow, just leave it out at that point. It doesn’t stand out anyway and as you’ve already noted, it doesn’t have any function.

Otherwise, really use washers under the screws. In the long term, the front will probably warp if it’s under tension like that.

The connecting rails have a spacing notch that creates a joint in the correct dimension. If a wide blanket comes in between, the spacing becomes too large. That looks aa and with a blanket on top, the extension can no longer be closed.

So I just went ahead and assembled it. A few washers were needed, the gap caused by the rail and the handle is not noticeably visible from the front, and the drawer opens and closes smoothly.

Thanks for the tips!
