Blum slides question

[Mark Gibney]

Why are the hooks on the rear of Blum slides different on the left and right sided slides? The photo is of Movento slides, but I think I remember Tandem being like this too.

I'm going to be installing them and far as I remember my Blum boring jig bores the hole in the same position on the back left and right of the drawer box. Been a while so going on memory here. I'll check it out tomorrow.
So what's going on here?

Are you sure that's a matching pair? They are very different from each other beyond the pin.

[Mark Gibney]

Yes they are a matching pair. All 11 pairs look like this, and they came packaged in Blum branded cardboard boxes.

Both left and right sides provide a rear tilt adjustment to tilt the front of the drawer forward. It looks like the one on the left is raised higher. Rotate the grey tabs to adjust the tilt.

The slide on the right provides rear side-to-side adjustment. Adjust this to re-align the back of the drawer with the front after adjusting the front side-to-side adjustment on the orange front locking device.

See the Blum Movento brochure page 5 for adjustments.

The Blum boring jig does work with Movento's. I just used the jig on both Movento 763H and 769 slides.

Thanks Dennis.
