Removing soft close kitchen drawers

[Mike1983]

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to fix a problem I'm having with one of my kitchen drawers at the moment.

They are soft close drawers and one of them no longer goes all the way back and stays there, the mechanism pushes it back out a couple of cm.

I cannot seem to be able to remove the drawers from the sliders to see how to fix this. Looked at a few Youtube videos where you simply pull some levers on the underside of the drawer and then lift out etc but this just doesn't work.

Some pictures of the issue below in the hope someone knows this type of mechanism and can advise. The exposed screws in the first pic seem to be just related to removing the front fascia of the drawer as far as I can tell (which I've done).

Thank you

Thanks for all of your replies.

Managed to figure it out today without resorting to a sledge hammer or angle grinder....

The draw locked into the slides via a near on fully concealed, sprung latch. Had to depress this latch with a screwdriver on one side, move the slide back to prevent latching and then repeat on the other side. Not very user friendly.

Removed the drawer and the problem was down to one of the slides not latching in the locked position. I removed part of the mechanism that interfaces with the soft close part.

Drawer now fully closes but the soft close is not as smooth (only half effective).

Thanks
