This is a 16 inch TANDEMBOX drawer profile from Blum's TANDEMBOX metal drawer system, sold as a matched left-and-right pair of N-height steel side members. It supplies the structural drawer sides for a 16 inch nominal length TANDEMBOX installation, replacing wood drawer sides with an engineered steel profile that integrates directly with the TANDEMBOX running gear.
The N-height profile is the working heart of a TANDEMBOX drawer. Rather than building a wood box and mounting it onto slides, the TANDEMBOX system uses these steel side profiles as the drawer walls — the running gear integrates with the profile rather than sitting underneath it. The 16 inch nominal length suits cabinet depths commonly found in base cabinets, bathroom vanities, and office furniture where a standard-depth drawer is called for. The full-extension runner built into the TANDEMBOX system means the whole drawer, not just the front portion, rolls out to the cabinet opening, making the contents in the back as reachable as those in front.
Each drawer requires one left-hand and one right-hand member. This SKU supplies both, so a single line item completes the side profile pair for one drawer opening.
The Gray finish works well in cabinet interiors that lean toward warm neutrals, painted wood, or gray laminate — environments where Stainless Steel would read as too cool or Orion Gray Matte would feel too dark. It blends into the interior without drawing the eye, so the drawer contents stay the focus. Steel construction keeps the profile rigid and consistent across the full drawer width, which matters when the drawer carries organized inserts or compartment dividers from the ORGA-LINE program.
Cabinet shops running TANDEMBOX as their production system reach for this profile when the finish schedule calls for gray interiors. Designers specifying handle-less cabinetry with painted fronts often pair this Gray profile with front fixings and ORGA-LINE inserts to deliver a coordinated interior. Contractors replacing damaged TANDEMBOX drawer members on existing gray-finish installations use this SKU to restore the original appearance without swapping the entire runner system. The 100 lb capacity and full-extension travel make it appropriate across a wide range of residential and light commercial applications.
Just the side profiles. The TANDEMBOX system requires you to supply the drawer bottom (cut to the published formula), the back panel, and the drawer front. Front fixing brackets, TANDEMBOX runners, and cover caps are separate TANDEMBOX components ordered by system and nominal length.
Yes. ORGA-LINE is Blum's interior organization line designed for TANDEMBOX drawers. Cutlery trays, utensil inserts, and cross dividers from the ORGA-LINE program are sized to work inside TANDEMBOX side profiles, including the N-height.
No. TANDEMBOX side profiles, runners, and accessories are engineered for the TANDEMBOX system and do not interchange with LEGRABOX or MERIVOBOX components. Each platform uses its own runners and front fixings.
TANDEMBOX profiles come in multiple height codes. The N-height at 68.5mm (2-3/4 inches) is a standard mid-range side height suited to everyday kitchen, bath, and furniture drawers. Taller height options are available for deeper storage drawers or pot drawers where more side height is needed to retain contents.
Runners are not included. TANDEMBOX runners are sold separately and must match the 16 inch nominal length and the TANDEMBOX series of these profiles. Order the corresponding TANDEMBOX runner set to complete the installation.
When the cabinet finish schedule reads gray and the system is TANDEMBOX, this 16 inch N-height profile pair delivers the structural drawer sides, the finish match, and the full-extension travel the drawer needs — in one line item.
