MEASURING THE INTERIOR DEPTH OF YOUR CABINET -
For the depth measurement you will want to “clear a path” from the front to back of the cabinets for your tape measure,
and we recommend measuring both the right and the left side of the cabinet taking the smaller dimension. It is usually not
necessary to empty your cabinets.
Measure from the back wall or “front” of any obstacle in the back of your cabinet that will limit the depth of the slide-out
shelf...to the back of the face frame (at the front of the cabinet) OR the front edge of the shelf (which should be right
behind the door when closed). Round down to the nearest 1/8 inch as well and record this measurement.
NOTE: If necessary you can !overhang" a slide-out one inch from the front edge of an existing shelf if it is set back from the
front of the cabinet. Cabinet makers do this to sometimes accommodate door racks and other door accessory products.
The minimum depth we manufacture is 16 3/4 inches and the maximum is 24 inches. The glide rail systems come in two
inch increments and we will adjust the overall depth to one inch increments so your slide-out will clear the door and not
strike the back wall of your cabinet when pushed in.
IMPORTANT TIP: Be certain to measure each and every location you plan to install a
slide-out in. DO NOT assume the depths are the same. Be aware that often times there
is a vertical or horizontal wood brace or valve, pipe or electrical conduit box that is secured
to the back wall and must be the point you measure from for a proper fitting shelf.
!
If the hinges of your cabinet are 4 1/2” or greater from the floor or shelf surface (see Tip # 6
on the last page)...measure from left to right edge of the opening.
IMPORTANT TIP: We manufacture the width of slide-outs to the opening of your cabinets in 1/8 inch increments
so please round down to the nearest 1/8 inch. e.g. 23 5/16” becomes 23 1/4” or 16 3/16” becomes 16 1/8” .

Measure on the left side ...and measure on the right.
