Started installing our drawers today and we realized we put one of the drawer fronts on up-side-down. Has anyone else run into this? How do you get these off?!! The picture in the instructions shows a little screw to turn, but I think it's not in the right place because it's not on right.

You're not the first. Take a look at the FAQ on the Fansite side -- Disassembling a Drawer. Good luck!

Susan,

Thank you so much. If you can add to the FAQ ... you turn away from the drawer front (it's only clockwise from the right side of the drawer - the left is counter-clockwise. I started on the left and got quite frustrated.) It really is as simple as the FAQ when you turn in the right direction!

Ah. Well, my drawer is in a pull-out pantry up against the wall, so I never tried it from the other side!!! Thanks for the note. I'll try to get that change up there tomorrow.

I LOVE this website.
This was just what I was going to ask about.
I love visualizing IkeaFans the world over flipping their drawer-fronts around the right way after finding this helpful FAQ.
I'm not alone...:?
