Instructions / Assembly

At this time you will need to take note of where the door hinge

hardware is located and whether your need to measure from

any part of the hinge mechanism or can ignore the hinge

altogether when measuring the width of the opening.

First you need to measure from the cabinet ﬂoor/frame or the

existing shelf surface up to the bottom of whichever part of

the hinge protrudes the furthest into the opening...i.e. the

hinge “elbow.” (If your hinge style is the type mounted on to

the outside

front of the

cabinet and

is visible

when the

door is closed, you can skip this step.)

IF THIS MEASUREMENT IS MORE THAN 4 1/2 INCHES,

THE HINGE WILL NOT BE IN THE WAY and under most

circumstances will not need to be taken into

consideration when measuring. You can measure from

the edge of the door to maximize the width of the shelf.

Please see Tip #6 on last page for more information.

NOTE: It is important to measure each location separately for each slide-out.

If less than 4 1/2

inches...measure

width of opening

from the hinge!

When in doubt...measure

width of opening from the

hinge!

Now take your tape measure and measure the “clear” width of the opening AT THE NARROWEST POINT. Per the above

instructions if your hinge height is less than 4 1/2 inches you will in most cases (see Tip #6) start with the end of your tape

measure touching the part of the hinge that protrudes the furthest into the opening. Pull the tape measure across the

opening to the other side...noting the exact measurement...at the narrowest point. In the case of double doors this

measurement could be hinge-to-hinge or edge/corner of door on one side to the edge/corner of door on the other side.

If your cabinets use the “traditional” style surface mounted hinges that are visible when the door(s) is(are) closed, your

measurement will likely be from door frame to door frame.

If the height of the hinges of your cabinet are less than 4 1/2” (see Tip #6) or from the ﬂoor or shelf surface...measure the

width of the opening from the point of the hinge that protrudes the furthest into the opening to the other side. In the case of

double doors it would be hinge-to-hinge. For a single door cabinet it will be either from the hinge to the edge of the frame or

the interior side wall if a frame-less cabinet. (See Exception point below.)

EXCEPTION: For frame-less (Euro-style box) cabinets that have only a single door, hinged on the left or right,

and ONLY in this case, you will need to subtract 1/4” from the “clear” width measurement you take before

submitting your dimensions/order. This also applies X2 if you are measuring a compartment without doors or

in the rare case you are actually measuring an opening that is actually wall to wall with no doors in the way.
