Will setting my Blum softclose undermount slides 33/2 further than recommended on my frameless cabinet drawers cause any damage or issues with function?

Hey there! So I accidentally installed my Blum soft-close undermount slides 7/32″ from the opening on my frameless cabinet drawers instead of the recommended 1/8″. With the drawer front on, it pulls very snug, but I’m wondering if this will cause any damage to the slide if it’s not pulled back fully. It still has about 3/32″ to 1/16″ to go. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
No need to worry
Nope, they can only get damaged if you pull out the drawer and sit or stand on it.
It should be okay, but keep in mind that a lot of engineering effort goes into these. I recommend following the instructions rather than relying solely on how it appears to you in the future.
