Drawer Box Disassembly (Getting the drawer front OFF)
Q. Help! I've been outsmarted by a drawer! I'm trying to disassemble a standard IKEA drawer box, and am not having any luck. Short of explosives, how do I get this thing apart???

A. Believe it or not, this is a common problem. Something about those shiny metal boxes makes assembly irresistible! Not to worry -- with a flat head screwdriver and a little patience you can easily fix this. (Click on any picture below for an enlarged view.)

You say turn counterclockwise in the heading and clockwise in the same figure.

moundros, I'm going to let the original author return to edit this, but my experience tells me that it could be either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on which side of the drawer you're working on. I believe I've been successful when turning the screwdriver toward the front of the drawer.

Thanks Kathy! Yes, you are correct - it does depend on which side of the drawer you are on. Thanks for pointing out my error!

a phillips head screw driver does the trick very easily... insert and turn towards the drawer front.

Re: Drawer Box Disassembly (Getting the drawer front OFF)
Oh my, thank you THANK YOU. I was starting to think about busting this apart with a sledgehammer and/or sheepishly returning to the store.

Mission accomplished!
