blum tandems for spice rack
7/12/18
any of you guys use blum tandem undermount slides for your base slide out spice racks? We use tandems for our drawers but for our spice racks we use the kv side mount with soft close, they are ok but would love the smoothness of the tandems but wanted some input on placement , that is , if they work for these type of cabinets.

The clips are too wide for very thin pullouts and they wobble. Hardware Resources sells a model with an ingenious third track near the top on the side that is wobble free. Never liked these pullouts except when they are wider and used for cleansers or larger items. Prefer spice drawer inserts as the spices are easier to see and reach. They don’t handle large spice bottles.

Yes, we use them frequently with one on the lower right or left and one toward the center at the other side. Our drawer manufacturer makes em for us. Western Dovetail or Cimarron Drawer. The pic below is of one we did a few years ago

I was putting a third track on top. But it really is a pain to set it up to accept it.
What I started doing was putting felt bumps on the left and right with a spacer to make the bumps about 1/32" from the side of the pull out. This stabilizes it nicely and if you space them correctly it puts no drag on it.
