I recently bought some Selmer undermounting full extension drawer
runner/slides.

They compride a complex metal part and a small plastic gadget that
somehow is responsible for the "push to open" function.

I cannot for the life of me work out how they are supposed to be fitted.

Help!

Oh! Before you say "why didn't you ask the supplier?" I did.

No response.

If you Google for "fitting push to open drawer runners" you'll find some
YouTube videos which might help.

Do you mean made by solmer, or sold by solmer? They're probably made by GTA

https://www.gtv.com.pl/en/

I can't see much of their website because they seem to hate my cookie settings,
maybe you'll have better luck?

I don't like those, the plastic spring bits eventually break off.
Mind you on a chest of drawers I have one runner has managed to lose all
its balls for some unknown reason. Brian

I have now watched half a dozen YouTube videos so far but none match
what I have.

However, after fiddling with the b..y things I realised that though they

Thank you for all the replies everyone.
