In modern furniture, aesthetics and functionality are now an indispensable whole. At this point, hidden drawer rails attract attention with their simple appearance, comfortable use and space-saving designs. However, the real performance of these systems is revealed with the right rail selection and error-free assembly.
As LOWERAY, we have compiled the most important points to consider when installing LOWE hidden drawer rails for manufacturers who want to offer a quality furniture experience.
1. Choosing the Right Rail
In order for the drawer to be functional, cutting should be done according to the hidden rail system to be used from the design process onwards. Carrying capacity and drawer size should be taken into consideration when selecting rails.
Carrying Capacities on LOWE Concealed Rails:
Partial opening (single opening): 25 kg
· Full extension (double extension): 30 kg (Tested in our quality laboratories.)
· Recommended drawer width for LOWE Concealed Rails: 60–70 cm
2. Measurement and Alignment
Since the hidden rails are mounted under the drawer, millimetric alignment is of great importance. When the rails are at equal distances on both sides and follow a straight line, the rail operates with a silent and smooth flow. Adjusting the distance according to the operating characteristics of the rail will ensure that the brake mechanisms and push-open mechanisms operate flawlessly.
LOWE Installation Space:
Right: 4.5mm
Left: 4.5mm
With a total gap of 9 mm, your drawer will operate quietly and smoothly.
3. Screwing and Fixing
The solidity of the surface on which the rail is mounted and the suitability of the screws used ensure the long-lasting operation of the rail.
In LOWE Concealed Rail Mounting:
· Installation can be done with only 2 screws.
(YHB M4 Bolt or YHB Ø3.5 – Ø4 chipboard screw is recommended.)
· It can be used safely on wood with a thickness of 16–18 mm.
4. Mechanisms
Two mechanisms, namely latch and pin, are used to fix the hidden drawer rails to the cabinet, to easily install and remove them, and to make millimetric adjustments after installation.Â
LOWE 3-axis ratchet system:
+2.5mm up
· ±2 mm right/left adjustment
· Easy to install and remove the drawer
LOWE Pin system:
Allows you to easily remove the drawer
· Allows up-down position adjustment
LOWE Brake and Push-to-Open Mechanisms
· Brake system: silent, slow and safe closing
· Push-to-open system: Automatic opening and closing with a light touch
All mechanisms are produced in our factory in Esenyurt, Istanbul and are tested and approved in our quality laboratories.
5. Final Checks
After installation, be sure to perform the following tests:
Does the drawer open fully?
Does it operate quietly and smoothly?
Is there any pinching or side slipping?
Does it maintain its performance under load?
LOWERAY products successfully pass 5,000 cycle tests in our quality laboratories.
Result: Aesthetics + Functionality = LOWE
Hidden drawer rails are an invisible but effective detail. Correct assembly and quality product are the key to long-lasting and comfortable use.
