how do I fix the drawer front on my howdens/mfi kitchen?

Does anyone have the de drawer with the gallery rail? I’m struggling to get this off.

I still can't fix my drawer front back on as the screws are impossible to get to unless the drawer is completely out and disassembled!! Help!!!!!! Please!!

Over engineering if I do say so - without this post we would have been completely lost! Thank you!

I'd love to find out how to increase the height adjustment ... mine now won't go high enough

Have to agree with Alan P thanks for keeping and updating this post its impossible to find how to fix the drawers and yet pretty simple when you know how.

Thanks Heather

Just want to say a HUGE thank you for having/keeping/updating this post, my howdens draw front came off in my hand this morning and the link you posted + your description of what to do have saved me hours of frustration, and now I can fix my drawer without damaging it.

Thanks so much for this advice, we've finally worked out how to do this so an end is in sight for fixing our drawers! The following is an updated link to the instructions referred to by Heather:

Well done Heather! The link doesn't seem to work but the explanation was sufficient. Thanks

The top drawer front came off in my wife's hand and I couldn't work out how to get the fixings out of the runners to re-fit them. After much head-scratching I went to google various combinations of Howdens/drawers/fix...etc. and came across Heather's note. Heather, you saved the day!! Drawer front back on with some longer screws - I dare even my young children to pull it off now.

Brilliant. Thank you so much!
I managed to disassemble and reassemble using longer screws, then put it together with the drawer front upside down but released again and put it in right way up.

I had this same problem this afternoon - kitchen only installed 6 weeks ago !!
Found this site via Google after much head scratching ( and a bit of swearing if I'm honest ! ) and thanks to Heather all is fine once again.
Thanks Heather for getting my blood pressure back to normal and for introducing me (inadvertantly ! ) to this site.

I had the very same problem this afternoon, well for a couple of days if I'm honest. MFI were trying to help but over the phone it's not that easy to describe. However if you look at this webpage http://www.crown-imperial.co.uk/file/Luxury%20Drawer%20Box.pdf and go to step 7. You will see the screw adjustment, look at the photo where it says drawer front removal. Locate this on the side of your drawer, you'll need 2 screwdrivers, one to push up the square bit of metal the other to insert into the cross, turn this cross clockwise and the fixing will release.
