Instructions / Assembly

!!!! You will be taking and recording two (2) measurements/dimensions for each slide-
out to be ordered; the !clear WIDTH of the opening at the narrowest point" and the !unobstructed interior cabinet DEPTH."
We will manufacture your slide-outs to the exact dimensions you provide...with a 1/8 inch clearance of the opening.
We can manufacture slide-outs for cabinet openings that are a minimum width of 6 inches and maximum width of 36
inches and will do so in 1/8 inch increments. Our minimum depth is 16 3/4 inches and maximum is 24 inches measured
in 1/8 inch increments. During the production process the depth of each shelf will be adjusted to the nearest inch. The
glide rails are manufactured and come every 2 inch increments in length for maximum extension in your cabinets.
The process for measuring framed or frame-less cabinets is virtually the same. A few differences are noted below.
MEASURING THE WIDTH OF THE CABINET OPENING -
First open the door of your cabinet to the position whereby the opening is at it narrowest. With some hinge styles the
vertical sides of the doors (at the hinged side) will actually protrude into the opening making the overall width of
the opening slightly narrower. (See photo comparison.)
NOTE: You may have to open the door more the 90
degrees. See the Common Measuring Pitfalls section
below for what to do when the door won"t open at least 90
degrees due to the door knob or door striking an adjacent
cabinet or appliance.
FRAMELESS -
The other style of cabinet (see photo) growing in popularity in
the U.S. is the “frame-less” (typically referred to as a European
cabinet or Euro-Style). In most cases, but not all, this style
cabinet offers shelf levels that rest on steel or plastic pegs or
clips inserted into evenly spaced holes drilled into the interior
walls of the cabinet. These allow the homeowner to adjust the
shelves up and down. THIS HOLE SYSTEM IS ALSO USED IN
SOME TRADITIONAL FRAMED CABINETRY.
Adjustable shelf systems could also utilize metal strips (called
standards) secured to each wall front and back using metal
clips for the shelf to rest on that can be adjusted.
The door hinges for this style cabinet are secured to the inside
walls of the cabinet and the back of each door and are almost
always NOT visible when the doors are closed. (See inset photo)
IMPORTANT TIP: With a framed cabinet it is VERY common that the opening of the wood frame is narrower than
the inside wall-to-wall compartment. For a slide-out shelf you ALWAYS want to measure the !clear width of the
framed opening at the narrowest point" ... NOT the interior wall-to-wall dimension. If the edge of the door when
opened reduces the size of the opening then take your measurement from the edge of the door not the frame.

HOW TO MEASURE:
Open the door(s) of the cabinet so that you
measure at the narrowest point...taking into
consideration the hinges if necessary.
Measure
from edge of
door!
