Once you have measured both sides...use the smaller dimensions when placing your order.

COMMON MEASURING PITFALLS:

IN SUMMARY -

If you have ever spent any time with an accomplished carpenter you would have heard this old adage: !If you don"t get

anything else hear this, when working with wood measure twice...cut once!" We will be doing the “cutting” for you so double

check your measurements before ordering.

Remember, even if your cabinets do not look quite like the ones in these photos the measuring steps and principles are the

same. We only need two (2) measurements...the clear width of the opening at the narrowest point where the slide-out will

be installed and the unobstructed interior depth. Our goal is to manufacture for you the perfect ﬁtting slide-out!

If you have any questions you may call our Customer Service Department.

Here are some common things folks miss when measuring their cabinets for made-to-ﬁt slide-out shelves.

1. The existing shelf and cabinet base could be warped or the base of the cabinet could be recessed down below the

front frame. In either case you may need to do some "shimming# with thin paneling material during the installation of

your shelves.

2. On occasion an obstacle (conduit, electrical box, valve, brace etc.) inside the cabinet may force you to record a

dimension smaller then the actual opening or depth. If this obstacle is in the back corner, you will have to decide

whether to adjust the width or the depth measurement.

3. For obstacles that may hang down from above or protrude off the

back wall (i.e. pipes, valves, etc.) you can use a coping or jig saw and

easily trim away part of the back of the slide-out to allow the obstacle to

clear (see photo right).

4. DOOR PROBLEMS - When measuring the width, you need to

consider ﬁrst if the door opens all the way. Check this, as it should

open at least 90 degrees to the opening. If the door knob itself or

another door, or an appliance etc. prevents the door from opening all

the way you will want to adjust the width measurement taken and then

when installing the slide-out justify it to the opposite side of the opening.

This way, when extended, the slide-out will not hit the partially closed

door (see photo sequence below).

Note the depth

measurement here.
