Drawer Front Attachment

[Clive Brown 1Participant @clivebrown1]

The 2 fasteners on one of our kitchen drawer fronts have broken, as per picture.I’ve tried an internet search for replacements, with no success. Can anyone suggest a search name that might bear fruit. The stem, when intact, is about 45mm in length.  TIA

Cam & Dowel KD Furniture Fixing will get you them. Get the solid steel dowels rather than the die cast that you have.

Same as our Ikea cupboards etc. Our are still ok after 20 years of use.  They are pretty standard, have you tried your local DIY superstore ??

[Mark EasingwoodParticipant @markeasingwood33578]

What Jason said, but be aware that the dowels come in different lengths, and the cams in different lengths, diameters and with or without a rim.

Edit:

If it helps you can scroll through the Hafele (they call them Minifix), catalogue HERE

Ebay sell cam and dowel furniture fittings

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

You will have to find a reseller if you want to use Hafele as they supply to the trade like me and Mark.

Yes ebay have then when you know they are called Cam & Dowel, the KD is for “Knock Down”. Screwfix and all the DIY sheds, Ikea, etc that sell flatpack sell spares

Also watch what is given as the length, some are overall length others just use the protruding length excluding the thread

Hi Buddy.

I think these were known as “Camlock” You may find something to replace them at screw-fix.

Thanks for the replies, it’s useful to know the name of what I’m looking for. A closer look at mine shows them to be made by a firm called Titus, but the exact replacement is not obvious.

[Mark EasingwoodParticipant @markeasingwood33578]

Titus are a well known brand although, (as Jason said), you will have to find a re-seller. Other brands may well fit.

Hi they look like the standard IKEA fasteners the Bristol IKEA has a customer service area which supply damaged parts free of charge. So you may be able to get some at your local ikea or PM me and I will have a look in my garage as I think I have some regards Phil.

[Clive Brown 1Participant @clivebrown1]

Phil, Ikea does seem the best match I’ve seen. However, under domestic pressure I’ve turned a couple of dowels on my lathe, which look as if they’ll do the job, but thanks for your kind offer though.

Was this at shop rate or just a banquet size meal?
