Hi,
I purchased some Thomasville furniture, Queen Anne style, between 1993-2001, and recently have discovered some of the drawer stoppers are broken. Note, I will be also purchasing some guides (corner, flats, etc. too).
I've attached some photos, and I know I can manufacture a different DIY method to stop the drawers, but did not know if these particular parts, or, a equal replacement were available? I'll have to count how many I need, but at this point I will need enough to replace all or most of the ones currently in place in my dresser, bureau, and bedside stands.
Thanks for the help.
Regards, George

Hey, George. I've seen this stop once or twice in the past. I don't remember the specific details, but I do know we weren't able to track it down. Knowing myself and how I think, I bet that I recommended our 32-125 for those past customers. This is a pretty handy stop that works for most dressers. It mounts on the top lip of the opening and reaches back, preventing the drawer from opening past a certain point. Could that work for you? We have a handy guide that may better explain how these function. Let me know what you think! |

Hey, George! That solution with a small board sounds good to me, too. I think it's certainly worth trying out. As for mounting the 32-125 in other ways, it could be possible but it's hard for us to predict. It would depend more on the style of the dresser. I suppose the only negative consequence of trying it out is having a screw hole in the wood, so if you're fine with that then it can't hurt to experiment. |
