Hello everyone!
First of all: funny forum I found here. Many thanks to everyone who helps so diligently!

Now to the problem:
We have the Utrusta pull-out cabinet system with a Metod cabinet:

Everything assembled, it’s basically not rocket science. But now the panel doesn’t close properly. If you push firmly, it closes. But if you just close it gently, the cabinet stays 1-2 cm open. I can’t imagine that’s normal.

Could the rails be misaligned? I can’t find any way to readjust. During initial assembly, the rails slipped out at the back a few times. That doesn’t happen anymore, but that would be an indication of crooked rails.

Does anyone have an idea?

Many thanks!
Daniel and Angela

Hello, I also have the cabinet in my new kitchen. So if I lightly push the door, the cabinet closes. But the disadvantage is really, that this is the only cabinet in the kitchen that doesn’t automatically pull in the last few centimeters. So far the first disadvantage where Ikea could improve. P.S. maybe something is really assembled incorrectly, pictures would be helpful. Regards

Mhh, we have now assembled a second one of these, and it sticks just the same. You really have to press hard for it to close, and even then it looks a bit warped.

With all other Ikea rails (various drawers in different sizes) we have zero problems, they fit well and even have a damper that automatically pulls the IDE in.

Anyone have an idea how to readjust it?

Thanks!
Angela & Daniel

Hello, I have exactly the same problem.....Utrusta drawer in the Metod cabinet...does not close properly... At first I thought that I did not drill the holes for the mounting (with template) cleanly and that the frame could therefore be slightly warped....

....when I read your experiences here now, there seem to be fundamental problems with this system......because I also do not have any problems with any of the other excerpts

best regards

I wanted to buy exactly this excerpt yesterday - no longer available! The lady from the kitchen department said that Ikea had taken the thing off the market and that an improved version would be released in May. Apparently Ikea has recognized the problem...

Bye, Micha
