Measuring

Measuring for your drawer boxes may seem difficult, but if you follow these simple guidelines it will be simple. Keep your pencil and note pad handy and measure each opening at least twice to prevent mistakes.

Measure your cabinet box openings to the nearest 1/8" and record your measurements carefully on your note pad. Be sure to record your measurements as width x height. For example, you may write down something such as "width 14" x 30" height." Here are the measurements you will be taking:

  • Width = cabinet opening width – specifications for drawer slides
  • Height = cabinet opening height – specifications for drawer slides
  • Depth = cabinet opening depth – recommendation of hardware specification for distance adjustment

Be precise, your cabinet drawer box will be custom made to your specifications any incorrect measurements lead to it incorrectly fitting in the cabinet box and a non-returnable item. Double-check your work until you are confident that you are ordering the size drawer box for your project.
