Drawer runners

[roblg3]

Blum, Hettich or saliche?  which of these seems to be highest quality AND have the most options for pullouts and "special" arrangements?  I'm looking for a supplier for my new cabinet shop and I want quality and versatility.  Anyone help please?

BLUM!!!!!

 

[builderbob]

Blum for sure! 

 

[roblg3]

tht'z what i've been thinking.  But the costs are higher.

If you want a good product with innovation it cost more, sort of like the the Festools your using.

I understand the higher cost. But consider a few things. Less call backs & ease of adjustability equate to more money saved for you. I don't hesitate when it comes to Blum hardware.

 

[roblg3]

thanks fellas!  That's pretty much the conclusion I came to as well.  I'm picking just 1 manufacturer so I can become well versed in their standards and products.

Another point of interest in Blum hardware is the wealth of options. For example, deep heavy duty drawers slides, the entire aventos system, hinge restrictors to prevent doors opening past 90 degrees, etc. it's all in one hardware line. Although not everybody stocks everything, it's a consistent system!

That sir is why I was leaning Blum!  It's a system

Blum are fantastic, but if you're looking for something a bit cheaper have a look at Grass. Also a system, really good quality, but slightly cheaper.
We use both - Blum for hinges and general fittings, Grass for drawer kits.

ok so now the deal is... my source!??  is a good price for a pair of 24" tandem with blumotion 569 series(heavy duty)
Best price i can find is $37.90.
Anybody got any recommendations for a supplier?

A H Turf or Cabinetreecollection have both been good for me and the last time I ordered the 562h self closing were around 15 each.  The shipping adds up but with a large order the cost per runner evens out.

Rob, definitely go to cabinetree first. They're out of Florida and you'll get your stuff pronto. A&H is good but they're in Montana and shipping takes forever unless you wanna forfeit a small fortune for 2 day. Prices are very comparable between the two!

 

[roblg3]

Much appreciated gentlemen!!  A&H was where I was looking.  But Cabinetree sounds nice.
