Why we stick with Blum Hardware

When it comes to building quality cabinets, every detail matters - especially the parts you don’t see. Drawer hardware is one of those hidden heroes that makes all the difference in how your kitchen, laundry, or bathroom feels and functions.

At You Screw It, we only use Blum hardware and the reason for this is simple. Blum are the industry leader in precision, durability and smooth operation. Whether you’re a builder, cabinetmaker, or DIYer, Blum’s drawer systems deliver consistent performance you can rely on for years. And they back themselves with a lifetime warranty.

Let’s break down the Blum range we use - Metabox, Antaro, and Legrabox - and how to select the right hardware for your project.

Metabox — Simple, Strong, and Reliable

The Metabox system is a classic steel drawer trusted by trades for decades. It’s ideal for

projects where reliability and value matter most.

Key benefits:

- Tried and tested strength: Built from high-quality steel for long-lasting performance.

- Smooth running: Precise roller runners ensure effortless movement every time.

- Versatile applications: Perfect for kitchens, laundries, or storage areas.

- Easy to assemble: Simple installation and adjustment make it a go-to for builders and

installers.

Best for: Budget-friendly, high-use cabinetry that needs dependable function without fuss.

Downsides: Roller action is not soft closing but Bluemotion can be added to enable softclose. However, if soft close is a must have feature we recommend upgrading to Antaro.

Antaro — Modern Design with a Touch of Class

Stepping up in both looks and function, Blum Antaro combines clean, modern lines with

advanced soft-close technology and is our most popular drawer system.

Key benefits:

- Sleek design: Minimalist and stylish, great for contemporary kitchens.

- Soft-close as standard: No more slamming drawers — just a smooth, silent close every

time.

- Flexible configurations: Choose from different side heights and drawer options.

- Proven Blum quality: Engineered in Austria to strict standards.

Best for: Customers who want modern style and premium performance at an affordable

price point.

Downsides: This is a premium drawer system that we highly recommend but if we have to point out a downside it would be the rail system used to add height to the sides rather than a full height side. This isn't a major issue but if you or your customer prefer full solid sides than you may want to consider upgrading to Legrabox.

Legrabox — The Premium Choice

When only the best will do, Legrabox is it. With its slim, elegant drawer sides and top-tier motion, it’s the ultimate in luxury and performance.

LEGRABOX performs outstandingly even when fully extended and heavily laden. The cabinet profile boasts low sag values and also makes solutions near the floor possible. Even very wide and heavy pull-outs have a smooth running action thanks to high dynamic carrying capacities of 40 and 70 kg. This system is the best in the business and is the go to for high end projects where whisper quiet smooth gliding function is essential.

Key benefits:

- Ultra-slim design: Sleek 12.8mm drawer sides with stunning metal finishes.

- Featherlight glide: Advanced runner technology for effortless opening and closing.

- High weight capacity: Designed to handle heavy loads without compromising movement.

- Custom look: Available in stylish colours and finishes to match your design.

Best for: Premium kitchens, architectural cabinetry, and customers who want to make a

statement with every detail.

Downsides: This drawer has no downsides as far as performance goes but keep in mind it is higher cost than the previous alternatives.
