What a front locking device does

A front locking device is the small clip that presses into the front bottom corner of an undermount drawer box and grabs the runner. Without it the drawer just sits on the runners; with it the drawer locks down and the adjusters set the front, and that is exactly the job part BT51.1901PSL does. This Blum device is for Blum Tandem 563 and 569 runners, sold as the left hand device, sold each; a drawer takes one of these and one right hand device.

What it fits

Part BT51.1901PSL fits Blum Tandem 563 and 569 runners and nothing else. Locking devices never cross between makers, and Blum Tandem devices do not fit Movento runners or the other way around, because the clip pre bore shifts position between the two even though the hook hole does not. Adjustment on part BT51.1901PSL: height, side to side, and depth adjustment of plus 2.5 mm out, with a built in 3 mm bumper. Minimum inside drawer width for part BT51.1901PSL is 6-11/16 inches (170 mm).

When to use this one

Most front locking devices only move up and down and side to side; this one adds a depth adjuster, the fitting an inset door or drawer front needs to land flush with the surrounding frame. Tilt correction on part BT51.1901PSL is handled elsewhere: Blum puts tilt correction on the rear of the runner itself, not on the front device.
