Spanish term
uñero
Spanish to English
Marketing
Furniture / Household Appliances
La frase: "Sistema apertura de cajón
mediante uñero ..." obviously a sort of nail-groove for pulling the drawer open but how about a more snappy name for it?

I dobt you would open a drawer with your fingernails, it sounds more like a recess which allows you to grab the drawer.

I think this is what they're called.
Build this classic simple decorative storage box with a sliding lid. We will cut the stock to size and assemble the box body with rabbet and butt joints. The sliding lid will be beveled to fit in the grooved sides and will have a **thumb notch** for easy opening.
