soft close drawer runners

[wallace]

I'm making a new kitchen and have used some soft close runners that I got from a sawmill that I got my oak from. He also builds kitchens, and at £10 a pair I was quite pleased with myself. Well anyway I have started putting stuff together and the missus is not happy with the force needed to open the drawers. You can feel the suction from the pistons and I must admit it takes a bit oomph to get a drawer to open.
Any ideas, are soft close adjustable

What make are the drawer runners Wallace...?

 

[wallace]

I don't think they are a make so to speak, they look exactly like blum tandem bluemotion

Are they soft close or self close ?

The self close ones sometimes do need a bit more effort to open them.

Soft close, I think it might be just a problem with me being cheap and trying to save money. I figured the guy seems to do pretty high end kitchens then the runners he uses would be half decent.
It feels like your fighting suction when opening

You havent got push to open runners have you?

Are they quadro runners -made by Hettich?
