One of the kitchen drawers wouldn't go in all the way. I thought it was something behind like flexy plumbing getting in the way--not so. The bottom latch receiver mounted on the cabinet under the drawer was not receiving the part on the drawer. I used a screw driver to try to pry the little thingy to get it to look like the other drawers but a part with a spring came out! Now I need to remove the drawer to investigate.

Any ides?
Thanx, Harry

My top drawer did this a lot, so I changed out the reciever spring loaded thingy, it's working perfect now.

Thanks. The problem is, also, that it's my bottom drawer so I can't access the receiver until I remove the drawer and am unsure as to how to remove the drawer.

We have the problem with the top drawer! Bungee cord does the trick until I change the gizmo out!

Should be a little black piece of plastic that extends from the door rail mechanism. Pull up or down on each side as your pulling the drawer out. Wish I could take a picture it's easy to do once you see it. When you reinstall make sure it remounts in the mechanism on Both Sides or the drawer will not close completely.
