Name For The Plastic Bit At The Back Of A Drawer?

[joko]

my kitchen drawers are coming off the bar and when i open them, they flop down

there is basically a piece of wood running along the middle of the cupboard, with a plastic piece attached to the back the the drawer tray itself, that keeps the drawer on it, and keeps it steady, and slides back and forward on it.

what would the plastic piece be called? i need to buy some more, but no idea what to search for

thanks

Having difficulty picturing it. Not that I can guarantee to know anyway. Any chance of a picture link ?

[Old_Geezer]

I guess it is possible you need a whole new drawer runner ?

how can i put a pic on here?

its just a piece of plastic at the back of the drawer that sits over the piece of wood in the middle

its kind of a C shaping, facing downwards - with a bit above the C for screws

Can you not take a picture and then go along to a DIY store and show them the picture of what you want?

The basic description of these elements in all drawers are runners and guides,
the guide is the bit attached to carcass of the cupboard.

Fox's suggestion was what I was intending to ask next.

But since you ask, you upload the picture file to a hosting site that you have registered with, then paste the link to the uploaded picture in a reply here.

It sounds to me as if you probably need to replace the runner and maybe the guide also.

Joko, try Googling 'Drawer Stops'

its similar to this blue thing - same general shape etc

it goes in the middle at the back of the cupboard drawer and a piece of wood runs down the centre of the unit

a few more came up on this listing, so hopefully i can find the right size

thanks all
