This is the Blum drilling template for locating TIP-ON mounting holes in TANDEMBOX drawer installations. It takes the guesswork out of positioning the TIP-ON unit so the push-to-open mechanism engages and releases correctly every time.
TIP-ON gives handle-less TANDEMBOX drawers their push-to-eject action, but the unit only functions correctly when its mounting holes are bored to Blum's specified position. This boring template establishes that position directly on the drawer or cabinet, so drilling starts from a confirmed reference rather than a transferred measurement. It is most useful during production runs where multiple TANDEMBOX drawers receive TIP-ON units, because every bore goes in at the same location without re-laying out each one. Single-drawer installs benefit too: the template eliminates the possibility of a shifted bore that causes the TIP-ON to misfire or the drawer front to sit unevenly after activation.
This is a drilling template — a layout and setup tool — not a TIP-ON unit or a TANDEMBOX structural component. It does not ship with the TIP-ON mechanism, and it is not included in TANDEMBOX drawer sets. If you are equipping drawers for push-to-open operation, the TIP-ON units themselves and the TANDEMBOX system components are separate purchases. The template's job is to make sure the holes for those components go in at the right spot.
Cabinet shops building handle-less kitchen runs on TANDEMBOX slides get the most from this template: it keeps production moving without stopping to re-measure TIP-ON positions between drawers. Installers fitting TIP-ON to an existing TANDEMBOX cabinet — a retrofit rather than a new build — also use it to place the bore correctly in a finished box where there is no second chance to reposition. For designers and homeowners specifying a single handle-less drawer, the template is less central, but it remains the right reference tool if the shop doing the work wants a clean, confirmed bore location before the drill runs.
This template is made for TANDEMBOX. Blum's other drawer platforms — LEGRABOX, MERIVOBOX, and METABOX — each use system-specific tooling matched to their own geometry. Use the template designated for the platform you are working with.
No. This is the boring template only. TIP-ON mechanisms are sold separately as their own TANDEMBOX system components.
It is not strictly required, but it removes the risk of a misplaced bore. On a single drawer there is limited room for error, and the template ensures the TIP-ON unit seats and operates as intended.
Boring templates of this type are designed for repeated use across a production run. The template guides the drill position consistently drawer after drawer.
Getting TIP-ON placement correct at the boring stage means the mechanism works as intended when the cabinet ships — no adjustments, no returned fronts, no callbacks. This template is how that accuracy gets built into the process from the start.
