Drawer box for Blum MOVENTO 763: sizes, notch and hook holes

Which MOVENTO do you have?

Blum publishes a static rating only for MOVENTO, no dynamic figure. All three take the same drawer box; the 769. simply runs longer and rates higher, and 18 to 30 in boxes on a 769. need the cabinet sides blocked out rather than mounted to a face frame.

Minimum inside cabinet depth

With TIP-ON BLUMOTION, minimum inside drawer width is 11 1/16 in (281 mm), rear brackets cannot be used, and the synchronization rod is cut to opening width minus 10 1/2 in (267 mm).

Clips: do we install one, do we sell one?

Blum T51.7601 Clips on our configurator adds the standard left and right locking devices for $5.99, installed before shipping. T51.7601 adjusts 1.5 mm side to side and 3 mm in height, and needs at least 6 11/16 in of inside drawer width. It is never interchangeable with a TANDEM T51.1901 clip.

A worked example

Say your cabinet opening is 21 in wide, the runner reads “763H,” and you want our standard 5/8 in sides. Outside width is 21 in minus 10 mm (13/32 in), which is 20 19/32 in. Depth matches the 21 in runner exactly. The opening is 11 1/2 in tall, so a 10 5/8 in box height stays under the opening minus 29/32 in rule. On the configurator: Notching “Notched & Drilled For Undermount Slides,” Slide Brand/Model “Blum MOVENTO 763,” Clips “Blum T51.7601 Clips,” Depth Selection “21” Inches (D),” width 20 19/32 in, height 10 5/8 in. For TIP-ON push to open on that same opening, choose “Other or unlisted slide model” instead and type “MOVENTO with TIP-ON BLUMOTION” so the 125 mm notch is cut.

Common mistakes

• Ordering the 35 mm TANDEM notch for a MOVENTO box. MOVENTO needs 50 mm, or 125 mm with TIP-ON.
• Adding TIP-ON onto a box already cut to the 50 mm notch. TIP-ON needs the 125 mm notch from the start; order a new box with TIP-ON specified rather than trying to add it to one already built.
• Ordering 3/4 in sides. MOVENTO is not rated for them.
• Using TANDEM’s T51.1901 clip. MOVENTO’s pre bore sits 23 mm along the side, not 32 mm; the clips and the pre bore are both different.
• Using a metric “NL minus 10 mm” rule meant for European catalogs. US box length equals the runner’s nominal length.
• Box too tall for the opening. MOVENTO needs 29/32 in of clearance, not the 25/32 in some generic guides use.

Questions

Is Blum MOVENTO the same as TANDEM?

No. Both are Blum undermount runners, but MOVENTO is the higher end runner with a different motion, its own depth templates and a different clip pre bore. A box built for TANDEM is not automatically right for MOVENTO.

Do I keep my MOVENTO soft close when replacing the drawer?

Yes. The soft close is in the MOVENTO runner, not the box. Reusing your runners keeps the exact motion you had; we build only the box they carry.

What notch does MOVENTO need?

50 mm (1 15/16 in) minimum wide by 13 mm tall for the standard runner, widening to 125 mm (4 15/16 in) with TIP-ON BLUMOTION push to open.

Does MOVENTO come in 30 in?

Yes, as the 769. heavy duty runner, rated 170 lb static. 763H and 763. top out at 21 in; 18 to 30 in boxes on a 769. need the cabinet sides blocked out.

Which clip fits MOVENTO?

T51.7601, the standard left and right device, which is our configurator’s Blum T51.7601 Clips option. It is never interchangeable with TANDEM’s T51.1901.

Can I add TIP-ON to my MOVENTO drawer later?

Not to an existing box. TIP-ON needs a 125 mm rear notch cut from the start; a box already cut to the standard 50 mm notch is too narrow. Order a new box with TIP-ON specified if you want to add it.
