Abstract
A guide rail for drawers or the like is attachable to a sidewall of a piece of furniture. The guide rail has a row of first fastening apertures arranged along the longitudinal axis of the rail and mutually spaced so as to correspond to a pattern of drillings in the sidewall, which pattern conforms to a first, European system. The rail also has a row of second fastening apertures having a spacing conforming to a second, United States system. The rows of fastening apertures conforming to the first system and to the second system are situated in a common horizontal plane in one embodiment of the invention, with the apertures in one row intersecting the apertures in the other row. The two rows, or at least the foremost fastening apertures thereof, are disposed relative to the forward end of the guide rail so that, irrespective of whether the rail is attached to a sidewall of a piece of furniture via drillings therein conforming to the European system or to the United States system, the required positioning of the rail relative to the front edge of the sidewall will be achieved.
