First time installing Blum under mount slides - what am I doing wrong
Hard to tell anything from these pictures. Blum has VERY detailed plans for installing their slides and even have an online tool where you can input the exact dimensions of your cabinet and they will tell you all the setbacks, etc. You cannot screw up if you use their tool. I recommend you get their installation jig which makes the process idiotproof. More on reddit.com

Blum drawer slide installation help
There is a jig set sold at rockler. Get it. It's not too expensive, and it trivializes the placement of screws and holes. https://www.rockler.com/rockler-jigit-undermount-drilling-guide H and F are super similar. "H" slides are for drawer sides with thicknesses of 1/2" to 5/8", while "F" slides are for drawer sides up to 3/4" thick. This video is great. https://youtu.be/K82l1ec7rR0?si=gehNZrY7iuSCZyeR A complete order would include the slides and the drawer clips. I would get the most expensive clip, it has more adjustment options. Really comes in handy. I made the mistake of buying the back bracket on my first one. I think that's only for specific applications with face frames where the slide can't be mounted to the sides. (I think). I highly recommend downloading the Blum install guide for all of their products, find the slides. Spend the hour deciphering their confusing diagrams. Once it "clicks" it helps a lot. But man, those diagrams are confusing at first. More on reddit.com

Problems installing Blum tandem under mount slides
Okay, I want to thank everyone who commented and left comments about this. I really appreciate the advice. Sadly, the second picture shows what the issue is. It seems that the front of the drawer is just a little bit lower than the two side pieces, so I think it's stopping the slide from going all the way back. Again, thank you for the comments. Hopefully my stupidity might be helpful for someone else who is having a normal problem with the blum slides. More on reddit.com

r/woodworking on Reddit: Blum drawer slide installation help
June 21, 2025 -

I have managed to never make a cabinet that needed Blum drawer slides. Going with the Tandem for my first rodeo but very overwhelmed. They REALLY need better marketing people to name things clearly and explain the options - 563F vs H? Do I need the back bracket or not? What does a complete order look like so I buy all the pieces? These are drawers that will be seen a lot but probably not used heavily so what's the right spec to pick? Did I do wrong by putting in 1/4" drawer bottoms? I've been watching videos on HOW to install them but haven't found one that clarifies what to buy. Are there tips and tricks you've found installing them you'd pass on to make my first time easier?

How to Install Undermount Drawer Slides in 7 Easy Steps
August 20, 2025 - Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the setback distance, so you know how far back from the front of the cabinet to position the slides. Depending on the type of cabinet you have, the slides may attach to the bottom of the cabinet, float between the front and rear, or sit on stringers. In some cases, the drawer guide will attach to the back of the cabinet as well as the sides. Take accurate measurements to raise the undermount slides to the proper height and take time to double-check that your measurements are correct before you screw the guides into the cabinet.
