Measuring for pull out sliding shelves
There are two dimensions needed for ordering pullout custom
shelving -
The most critical is the clear cabinet opening width, the second dimension is the inside cabinet depth
Clear opening width
We always speak in terms of clear opening width and never refer
to the actual finished shelf width. To determine the clear opening width for
custom shelving simply
measure your cabinet opening at the height you want to install the shelf. For
the bottom shelf there will usually be a hinge that reduces the clear opening
width. For an upper shelf there will be not hinge (at the height of the shelf)
so quite often the upper shelf will be slightly larger than the bottom shelf. We
make our custom shelving in 1/16" width increments so be sure to measure carefully to
get the most out of your cabinets.
Inside cabinet depth
Cabinet depths are made in 1" increments for our standard style
shelves and 2" for our premium custom shelving. Measure the depth of your cabinet from
the back of the closed door to the back wall of your cabinet and then choose
your size from the drop down menu. Make sure to choose the closest size smaller
than your cabinet depth. It is best to have at least 3/4" more depth in your
cabinet the the depth of the shelf that you select
Mounting style
There are four style of mounts for 3/4 extension slides and two
types for full extension slides.
Full extension slides
There are two mounting styles for full extension slides, base
mount and side mount. Base mount is the easiest method of installation. The
slides come with L brackets attached that allow you to mount the slide hardware
to the cabinet base or onto an existing shelf. For side mounting you attach the
slides to the cabinet sidewall using build up that you supply or to spacers that
you can order from us
If you are unsure of the depth, width or mount that you should
order for your custom shelving please feel free to email us
