Kitchen Drawer adjustment

Hi, Can anyone identify this drawer type or say how to adjust it to stop the front panel flopping about. Thanks

The front one is used to pull a metal dowel fixed to the drawer front tight. The back screw allows a little up and down adjustment for the front.

OK. So I tried that but it turns out that the reason for the slack/floppiness on one side is that the catch adjusted by the front adjuster screw is not working. The spring loaded part that flips between ‘locked’ and ‘unlocked’ is missing. It’s not dropped out so am not sure it was ever there.

So, it looks like I need either a new locking spring unit or a new drawer as everything looks riveted in place.

Can anyone identify the manufacturer? The sides seem to be metal and are flared towards the base.

Thank you

They are usually just cam locks used in self-assembly furniture. A metal dowel with a head enters the cam ( it has to be positioned to allow this), and the penny-sized cam with a quarter turn locks it up tight. Here are the fittings to give you an idea. Measure the cam and the dowel on yours. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173939378583 ... ZatyBAxg13

Thanks for the pointer to the those parts. I think they have the part(s) I need.

I guess I should say that this Post has been solved!
