Drawer runners are little equipment which are used to enable smooth movements while opening and closing drawers. Formerly, cabinet drawers had no runners which made excessive friction a great challenge when accessing drawers. The introduction of a runner calls for that the fitting region of a drawer be extended. However, it also guarantees seamless motion. The simplest types of drawer runners use a set of small wheels which are attached to the exterior part of the drawer.

 

A guiding track of an appropriate size is installed on the frame of the base cabinet to accept the drawer wheels. A form of obstructive mechanism is molded on the track to regulate the drawer's movement. This obstruction serves as a stopper which prevents the wheels from running completely off the track. To detach the drawers, they can be raised slightly to bypass the stoppers at the end of the guide tracks.
