Pull-Out Shelf Lock for Tandem and Movento H, Orion Gray Matte

Pull-Out Shelf Lock For Controlled Open Position

Pull-out shelf lock provides a functional lock-open stop for pull-out shelves with full extension, so the shelf stays reliably in the working position while appliances or gadgets are used without drifting. The discreet and space-saving mechanism securely holds the pull-out shelf in place when open, which matters where clearance is tight and movement can stress cords, plugs, or finished fronts. This Blum, Inc. lock is designed for pull-out shelves that need to mobilize kitchen gadgets and appliances, making them easy to use and return in seconds, which helps streamline repetitive prep tasks. The mechanism is designed for use in face frame applications, letting it support common cabinet construction in many North American shops. Nylon, Orion Gray material provides a neutral, matte appearance that blends with modern hardware programs while keeping the mechanism visually quiet.

Key Pull-Out Shelf Lock Functions In Use

• The functional lock-open stop for pull-out shelves with full extension holds the shelf at full travel, which helps keep appliances stable while plugged in or during operation.
• The discreet and space-saving mechanism sits out of the main working path, freeing shelf surface area and reducing interference with stored items when the shelf is extended.
• Design for use in face frame applications aligns the lock with typical framed cabinet builds, helping installers integrate the mechanism into existing face frame layouts.
• Nylon, Orion Gray material offers a durable, non-metallic contact surface that reduces visual contrast in the cabinet interior while supporting smooth interaction with the shelf.
• The lock enables users to mobilize kitchen gadgets and appliances, so heavy or awkward items can be brought forward for use and then stowed again quickly after work.

Installation Behavior And Alignment Details

The pull-out shelf lock is designed so there is no change to runner installation, allowing TANDEM 563 H/. and all MOVENTO runners to be installed using familiar methods while the lock works alongside them. Easy installation with self-aligning components means the locking units and latches are engineered to position themselves relative to each other, which supports repeatable engagement without intricate field alignment. The lock can be released with one hand from either side of the shelf, so users can stand left or right of the cabinet and still disengage the mechanism while supporting the load. The design can be easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes, letting shops apply the same drilling, machining, and assembly sequences they use for current pull-out shelf programs.

Where This Blum Lock Fits And Why Details Matter

Pull-Out Shelf Lock For TANDEM And MOVENTO Runners

This Blum pull-out shelf lock is for TANDEM 563 H/. and all MOVENTO runners, matching common high-performance slide platforms used in kitchens and other cabinetry. That runner compatibility allows the lock to support full-extension pull-out shelves built on these systems, keeping motion and hold characteristics consistent with the slide family already specified on the project. The lock can be combined with TIP-ON BLUMOTION, so handleless and soft-close concepts can still be used while the shelf locks in the open position, preserving the design intent of modern push-to-open fronts. Two-sided locking for secure hold engages both sides of the shelf, which helps resist racking when appliances are pulled or when uneven loads are placed near the front. Designed for use in face frame applications, the lock supports framed cabinet runs where pull-out shelves need positive open retention.

Locking, Release, And Workflow Advantages

The functional lock-open stop for pull-out shelves with full extension keeps the shelf fully projected while in use, which is especially important when heavy mixers, coffee machines, or small appliances are operated on the pull-out surface. Users can mobilize kitchen gadgets and appliances, making them easy to use and put away in seconds, reducing time spent lifting or relocating equipment on the countertop. Two-sided locking for secure hold balances forces on both sides, which helps minimize twisting on the runners and supports long-term slide performance under asymmetric loads. The lock can be released with one hand from either side of the shelf, so a user can support the appliance with one hand while disconnecting the lock with the other, promoting controlled retraction. Easy installation with self-aligning components supports consistent locking performance across multiple cabinets, which is valuable in production environments and multi-unit projects.
