Hello everyone!

Is it possible to retrofit a TipOn opening in drawers without much effort?

Blum offers corresponding fittings.
Does anyone know if they are compatible with the Blum drawer slides used in [Metod]?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,
that is not possible. New holes for the rails in the corpus would be the smaller problem, but the length of the rails is different, namely 530 mm. The Tandembox corpus rails are only available in 500 mm and next in 550 mm. If you order 1000 pieces, they will also make some in a different length for you.

Thank you for the information!
... even though I would have liked to read something else.

It's very unfortunate that it can't be retrofitted or converted just like that.

Maybe we can put together a group order here?!
Or all forum members submit a request to Ikea so that the demand is recognized.

Of course, I could also initiate this alone at BIum and then sell it via Ebay or similar.
However, I lack storage capacity and capital to be able to advance payments on that scale.

Do you like cleaning? Every time you press, you might as well wipe again because you have another fingerprint on the front. If you really want to press, you can install [Servo drive]. That way, you can also push the extensions shut.

Well, cleaning isn't that bad...
In the kitchen, we also left off the handles on the lowest drawers and installed the push-to-open mechanism. Why?..
We have a cat that can open drawers by the handle.
It's okay for the kitchen to visibly show that it is being used.

With the Utrusta push-to-open door openers? Does that work permanently without needing adjustment? You must have a very strong cat if it can open the drawers against the springs of the self-closing mechanism.
