Instructions / Assembly

The easiest way to measure and make this adjustment is to use a large right angle square, placing it against the front of the
cabinet extending out and sliding it to the door.
Take the width measurement at the point that the right angle hits the door. It will become obvious that your slide-out can
only be this wide.
5. OBSTACLES INSIDE A CABINET - If an obstacle inside your cabinet will force you to reduce the width of the slide-out
you install, you can simply use the same right angle square
and measuring method used above. Just move the contents
out of the way and place the right angle against the front of
the cabinet with the other ʻlegʼ of the angle protruding into
the cabinet. Slide it over to the obstacle and take your
widest width measurement at that point.
6. A FINAL WORD ON HINGES. If you have gotten this far
you are demonstrating a keen attention-to-detail skill level!
Hidden or concealed hinges, which are also commonly
called European style hinges, often times confuse people
when they are measuring. Notwithstanding the above
instruction, if you have this style hinge and you want the
width of your slide-out for both levels in a traditional “under
the countertop” base cabinet to be the same...you can take
one additional measurement to determine if you can ignore
the protruding hinge ʻelbowʼ as far down as 2 1/2 inches off
the floor or existing shelf of the cabinet.
Because our rail system is 1/2 inch thick and is mounted on
the side of the slide-out, there is an actual clearance zone above the cabinet rail member of nearly 1/2 inch wide that the
hinge elbow can occupy without binding on the slide-out. If the bottom of the hinge elbow is not lower than 2 1/2 inches
from the cabinets base, or shelf for that matter, and it does NOT protrude into the opening more than 1/2 inch (see photo
inset left)...you can measure the opening of the cabinet at the narrowest point ignoring the hinge altogether. This extra step
will gain a
little extra
space, but
more
importantly
will create
visual
symmetry
between
the upper
and lower
slide-outs.
This
applies to both sides/hinges in the case of a
double door cabinet. The shelf side/rail of the
slide-out will pass right by/under the hinge elbow!
You can take advantage of the space created under the protruding
hinge...as long as the elbow doesnʼt protrude into the opening
more than 1/2 inch.
Must be 1/2” or less to be able
to ignore the hinge elbow and
measure from door edge
