Tandem Tip-On Synchronization Rod for Pull-Out Shelf Lock, 42-7/8

Tandem Tip-On Synchronization Rod For Pull-Out Shelves

Tandem Tip-On synchronization rod is a natural color aluminum rod designed for pull-out shelf lock applications, so it ties the Tip-On action across the opening and helps the shelf operate as one unit. The rod is specified at 42-7/8 inches (1,089 mm) in length, which gives installers a defined starting size to work from when planning layouts. This 42-7/8 inch length is cut-to-size, allowing trimming to match the actual cabinet opening so the mechanism spans accurately from side to side. The opening width range of minimum 6-11/16 inches (170 mm) to maximum 46-5/16 inches (1,176 mm) defines where the rod can be applied, so the pull-out shelf lock can be used on a wide variety of cabinet widths within that span. The natural color aluminum material provides a consistent, neutral appearance that sits cleanly behind the front, keeping the focus on the facade.

Key Synchronization Rod Details For Shelf Jobs

• The 42-7/8 inch (1,089 mm) length sets a generous base size, so one rod can be adapted to different cabinet widths within the stated range.
• The cut-to-size design lets installers trim the rod to the required opening, supporting precise fit and steady Tip-On engagement across the shelf.
• The opening width minimum of 6-11/16 inches (170 mm) defines the narrowest usable cabinet, helping match the rod to smaller pull-out shelf layouts.
• The opening width maximum of 46-5/16 inches (1,176 mm) supports use on wide pull-out shelves, helping maintain synchronized action across broad fronts.
• The aluminum material keeps the rod light while maintaining form, which supports stable movement as the pull-out shelf lock is engaged and released.
• The natural color finish gives the rod a neutral look, so it blends into typical drawer and cabinet interiors without drawing attention.

Cut-To-Size Synchronization Rod Fit Details

This aluminum synchronization rod is specified as cut-to-size, so it starts at 42-7/8 inches (1,089 mm) and is shortened to match the cabinet opening within the 6-11/16 inch (170 mm) to 46-5/16 inch (1,176 mm) range. Working within this defined span keeps the rod aligned with the pull-out shelf lock layout, supporting accurate Tip-On function from side to side. The natural color aluminum material keeps the rod stable while it is trimmed, so the finished length continues to support straight tracking as the shelf moves.

Using This Rod In Pull-Out Shelf Lock Work

Where This Synchronization Rod Fits In Cabinets

This synchronization rod from Blum, Inc. is specified for Tandem Tip-On pull-out shelf lock setups, so it functions as the link that carries the action across the cabinet opening. With a length of 42-7/8 inches (1,089 mm), it is suited to cabinets that fall within the opening width range of 6-11/16 inches (170 mm) minimum to 46-5/16 inches (1,176 mm) maximum. Within that span, the rod can be cut-to-size so it sits between the sides of the pull-out assembly, providing a continuous connection. The natural color aluminum construction supports use inside typical drawer slide and shelf environments, where a neutral interior appearance is often preferred. Because the part is identified as a synchronization rod, it works as part of the movement system rather than as a decorative element.

Why These Synchronization Details Support Consistent Action

The defined 6-11/16 inch (170 mm) minimum opening width gives the synchronization rod a practical lower limit, so when it is shortened it still retains enough length to span and stabilize the Tip-On pull-out shelf lock. The 46-5/16 inch (1,176 mm) maximum opening width indicates the upper span for which the 42-7/8 inch (1,089 mm) cut-to-size rod can be adapted, which helps align expectations for wider cabinet runs. The aluminum material responds well to being cut-to-size, so the trimmed rod maintains straightness that supports consistent shelf movement. The natural color finish keeps the rod visually understated, which suits professional cabinetry where internal hardware is expected to sit in the background while still performing its synchronization role.
