What a front locking device does

Blum makes this front locking device for Blum Tandem 563 and 569 runners. It is the small moving part at the front corner of the box: press it on, lower the box onto the runners, and it clicks home and holds the front at whatever height, side, and side to side setting the adjusters are turned to. Sold as the right hand device, sold each; a drawer takes one of these and one left hand device.

What it fits

Blum Tandem 563 and 569 runners is what part BT51.0801.20R is drilled and shaped for; it will not seat on a different maker’s runner, and a Tandem device will not seat on a Movento runner, or the reverse, even on the same brand. Blum lists a minimum inside drawer width of 3-3/4 inches (95 mm), up to 4-7/8 inches (124 mm) for it. Two piece nylon, 25 lb dynamic limit, 5/8 inch sub front minimum.

When to use this one

Part BT51.0801.20R matters most on the drawer where the front looks wrong after everything else was done right: box square, runners level, and the front still sits low or leans. Narrow drawers such as spice pull outs and tray dividers. Once the box is hanging, every bit of fine tuning on the front comes from part BT51.0801.20R, not from the runner or the box.

Installing and adjusting it

Part BT51.0801.20R presses into the front corner of the box by hand and locks when the box is lowered onto the extended runners; the How to install undermount drawer slides guide shows the sequence. After the box is on, set height, side to side, and depth from part BT51.0801.20R as described in How to adjust undermount soft close drawer slides. We drill the 2.5 mm, 10 mm deep holes at 75 degrees to Blum’s template as part of the free notch and drill prep, so part BT51.0801.20R presses straight on whether we install it or you do.

Pair it with a notched box

Part T51.0801.20R is not a configurator option; order the custom drawer box with No Clips and press it on yourself, or note the part number on your order and we will confirm before cutting. Baltic Birch or Hard Maple (Select Grade), dovetailed in our Las Vegas shop for part T51.0801.20R and notched to the Blum drawing, Built in USA.

Questions

Do you drill the box for the T51.0801.20R?

Yes, the pre bore for the T51.0801.20R is part of the free notch and drill prep on every box we cut for Blum Tandem 563 and 569 runners, whether we press the clip on for you or ship it loose.

Does the T51.0801.20R correct tilt?

No, Blum puts tilt correction on the rear of the runner, not on the T51.0801.20R or any front locking device.
