What this runner is

An undermount runner hides under the drawer box instead of beside it, so nothing shows when the drawer is open and the box can be the full width the cabinet allows. The Blum Movento 769 is Blum’s soft close version for 5/8 inch drawer sides, rated at 155 lb per pair, and it is sold as a pair without the front locking clips.

The drawer box it needs

Nothing about this box is a standard size cut with an extra notch; the width, the back notch, and the hook hole all come from Blum’s drawing for the Blum Movento 769. The cabinet opening minus 42 mm inside width, which is the opening minus 13/32 inch outside with 5/8 inch sides. The back notch is 50 mm (1-15/16 inch) wide and 13 mm (1/2 inch) tall, and the bottom sits 13 mm (1/2 inch) up from the bottom edge of the sides. We cut it all free on the configurator and press the T51.7601 clips on for $5.99.

Face frame or frameless

Cabinet situation: the Blum Movento 769 mounts in blocked out cabinet sides only; Blum says rear brackets and sockets cannot be used with the 769. If your cabinet has a face frame, add a filler block flush with the frame opening so the runner has a solid side to screw to. Lengths available are 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 inches, and the box depth must match the runner length in whole inches.

Installing it

Mount both Blum Movento 769 runners tight to the cabinet front and level, seat the locking devices in the box, then set the box on the runners and push it home until the devices latch. The front is then adjusted from the devices: height, side to side, and depth, a few millimeters each, the same on every Blum Movento 769 install.

Questions

What lengths does the Blum Movento 769 come in?

18, 21, 24, 27, 30 inches. Box depth has to match whichever length you choose.

Is the Blum Movento 769 rated the same as a side mount slide?

Blum rates the Blum Movento 769 at 155 lb per pair, which is its own figure, not a Gritly rating; compare it against the side mount slide you would otherwise use.
