Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
On face frame cabinets the rear of a TANDEM 563 H/F runner usually lands past the back panel edge, so a rear socket is the standard fix. The dowel version speeds production work since it presses into an 8 mm hole; the screw version is the choice for retrofits or solid stock. Keep both sockets at the same height as the runner front bracket to avoid binding.
Verify the rear panel material and thickness will hold the dowels or screws under full drawer load.
Pick your mount style and order the Blum TANDEM 563 H/F rear mount socket.
