Pantry PO Adjustment

Help! The door on my 88x24 pull-out pantry rubs the cover panel on the left by 1/8" or less evenly down to side. Any tricks to adjusting w/o removing the panel and redrilling? If I have to remove to panel from the two attached drawers....how do I do that? I can't get the drawers off the piece attached to the door!!!!! Hinges were easy to adjust! So close to being done!!

Thanks!!

Re: Pantry PO Adjustment

there are adjustment screws located on the side of the drawers (about 2 inches back from the drawer front) that allow you to adjust the drawer face side to side. the pullout door is really just a big drawer front in this case. You will have to adjust at both drawers to end up with a straight door.

Re: Pantry PO Adjustment

Thanks breed for the reply.....this site rocks!!! I get it now that the pantry door is no different than a regular drawer. However, still no success. Are you talking about the little brass screw about two inches back, or the bigger plastic-like grey screw closer to the drawer front?

I understand that you gotta work both sides of the drawer front (plus top and bottom on a pantry door) but the bigger grey screws don't seem to do anything (one seems stripped) and the little brass screws are really tight and I don't want to force them without knowing.

Regardless of which adjusts the drawer front, what does the "other" screw do? I looks in the articles library, but didn't find anything that explains the "guts" of that whole mechanism.

Any further help is greatly appreciated!!! I'm addicted now and will go ahead with a full Ikea remodel of my 22x13 kitchen as soon as I finish this darn landry room!

Re: Pantry PO Adjustment

There are three screws on each side of a drawer: the first adjusts left to right, the second releases the drawer/door front, and the rear-most one adjusts up and down.
