This universal boring template from Blum is a system-specific installation tool that marks and guides the drilling locations needed to fit TIP-ON, TANDEMBOX, and METABOX drawer system components. It is designed for cabinetmakers and installers who need repeatable, accurate hole placement across multiple drawers without layout work at each cabinet.
Installing TIP-ON mechanical push-to-open, TANDEMBOX drawer system components, or METABOX steel-sided drawer boxes each requires drilling at precise locations for locking devices, front fixings, and system hardware. Done freehand or with a general-purpose jig, those locations drift — and a misplaced hole on a locking device or front fixing means the drawer front will not align or the mechanism will not seat. This template locks in the correct positions so the drilling step is fast and the result is consistent across every drawer in the job.
This is a Blum-specific tool. The hole pattern it references is engineered for TANDEMBOX, METABOX, and TIP-ON system components, and it is not interchangeable with templates for other drawer system brands or series. Keep it with the rest of your Blum installation accessories so the right template is always at hand when one of these systems is on the bench. Blum system components — front fixings, locking devices, and TIP-ON adapters — are series-specific, and using the matched template is the first step toward an installation that aligns on the first try.
Cabinet shops running TANDEMBOX or METABOX drawers in volume benefit most: the template turns a multi-step layout into a single, consistent operation and reduces the chance of a misdrilled panel becoming scrap. Custom builders and installers working Blum drawer systems on a job-by-job basis will find it equally useful as a one-time setup check that pays off across every drawer in the project. If TIP-ON push-to-open is part of the spec, accurate boring for the adapter is not optional — the mechanism either seats correctly or it does not engage.
The template is designed for TIP-ON, TANDEMBOX, and METABOX drawer system boring requirements. It is not intended for LEGRABOX, MERIVOBOX, or other Blum platforms unless Blum documentation confirms shared boring geometry.
No. The hole pattern is engineered for Blum system components. Attempting to use it with Grass, Hettich, Salice, or other brand hardware will produce incorrect locations for those systems.
The template operates within Blum's 32mm system discipline. Confirm against your specific cabinet construction and the Blum installation guide for the drawer series you are installing, as front-fixing and locking-device positions can vary between face-frame and frameless applications.
Blum drawer system installations may require additional templates or jigs depending on the specific components in use. Check the Blum installation guide for your series to confirm whether additional drilling accessories are needed alongside this template.
Accurate boring is where a clean drawer installation begins. This Blum universal template takes the guesswork out of the drilling step, so the hardware lands where it belongs and the drawer goes together without rework.
