Concealed Undermount Slides
Requires "Notching For Slides" : YES
Drawer Box Width
**For 5/8" Thick Drawer Side Material**
(QuikDrawers "Solid Wood Dovetail Drawers")
With 5/8"(.625) Thick Drawer Side Material, Common "Concealed Undermount" Slides Require 3/16"(.1875) Of Clearance On Each Side Of The Drawer Box.
So The Simple Math Is:
Subtract 3/8"(.375) From Your Cabinet Opening Width
Example:
Opening Width = 15"
15" Minus 3/8"(.375) = 14 5/8"(14.625)w
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
**For 1/2" Thick Drawer Side Material**
(QuikDrawers "Baltic Birch Plywood Dovetail Drawers")
With 1/2"(.5) Thick Drawer Side Material, Common "Concealed Undermount" Slides Require 5/16"(.3125) Of Clearance On Each Side Of The Drawer Box.
So The Simple Math Is:
Subtract 5/8"(.625) From Your Cabinet Opening Width
Example:
Opening Width = 15"
15" Minus 5/8"(.625) = 14 3/8"(14.375)w
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
Drawer Box Depth
Determined By Length Of Slide
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Most Modern "Concealed Undermout" Slides TYPICALLY Have A Physical/Actual Length That Is Approximately 1/2"(.5) Longer Than They Are Advertised.
When Using "Rear Mounting Brackets" The Physical/Actual Length Is Approximately 7/8"(.875) Longer Than They Are Advertised, When The "Rear Mounting Bracket" Is Fully Collapsed.
Keep This In Mind When Determining Your "Concealed Undermount" Slide Length & Therefore Your Drawer Box Depth (Front To Back), As Your Drawer Box Depth MUST Be Equal To The ADVERTISED Slide Length.
To Maximize Your Drawer Box Footprint/Size:
Find Your Cabinet Interior Depth, Then Consider Your "Concealed Undermount" Slide Length.
Most Modern "Concealed Undermount" Slides Are Only Available In 3" Length Increments. (12", 15", 18", 21", Etc..)
Because Of How The Slide Attaches To The Drawer Box, Your Drawer Box Depth (Front To Back) MUST Match The Advertised Length Of Your "Concealed Undermount" Slide.
Example:
If Using 21" Concealed Undermount Slides, Your Drawer Box Depth (Front To Back) MUST Also Be 21"
Special Consideration For "Inset" Drawer Fronts:
If Your Drawer Fronts Are "Inset", Subtract Your Drawer Front Thickness From Your Cabinet Interior Depth Then Factor For The Considerations Mentioned Above.
Be Sure The PHYSICAL/ACTUAL Slide Length Is LESS THAN Your Cabinet's Interior Depth. If Your Cabinet's Interior Depth Is Less Than The Physical/Actual Slide Length, The Drawer Slide Will Protude Beyond The Face Of Your Cabinet.
Example 1:
Cabinet Interior Depth = 22 1/2"(22.5)
22 1/2"(22.5) Is Greater Than 21 1/2"(21.5)(Physical/Actual Length Of 21" "Concealed Undermount" Slide), But Is Less Than 24 1/2"(24.5)(Physical/Actual Length Of 24" "Concealed Undermount" Slide).
So You Would Use The 21" "Concealed Undermount" Slide & A 21" Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box.
Example 2:
Cabinet Interior Depth = 21 3/8"(21.375)
21 3/8"(21.375) Is Less Than 21 1/2"(21.5)(Physical/Actual Length Of 21" "Concealed Undermount" Slide). This Means The 21" "Concealed Undermout" Slide Will NOT Fit Inside The Cabinet, As It Is Too Long, And You Will Need To Drop Down To The 18" "Concealed Undermount" Slide Length.
So You Would Use The 18" "Concealed Undermount" Slide & An 18" Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box.
Drawer Box Height
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Most Common, Modern, "Concealed Undermount" Slides Raise The Drawer Box, Off Of The Bottom Of The Opening, About 1/2"(.5) Making The Full Assembly (Slides Installed On Drawer Box) Approximately 1/2"(.5) Taller Than The Actual Drawer Box Height.
Example:
Opening Height = 5"
5" Minus 3/4"(.75) = 4 1/4"(4.25)h
(This Is The MAXIMUM Recommended Height For Your Drawer Box)
Note: QuikDrawers.com Will Do Custom Widths & Depths In 1/16"(.0625) Increments, However Our Height Options Are Limited.
To Maximize The Height Of Your Drawer Box vs. Your Opening Height:
You Would Order The Drawer Height Dimension Closest To AND Less Than Your Opening Height, Minus 3/4"(.75)
Example:
Opening Height = 5"
5" Minus 3/4"(.75) = 4 1/4"(4.25)h = 4"h Drawer Box
QuikDrawers Recommends Ordering Your Drawer Box Height, At Least, 3/4"(.75) Shorter Than Your Opening Height When Using "Concealed Undermount" Slides
NOTE ON "STACKED" DRAWER/DRAWER BASE/DRAWER BANK CABINETS:
Often, With Taller Drawer Fronts, Like On A Cabinet With "Stacked" Drawers, You Will Find The Drawer Box Is A Few Inches Shorter Than The Opening Height.
If You Do Not Want To "Fill" Your Opening Height, With The Drawer Box, And A Shorter Drawer Better Suits Your Needs, QuikDrawers Recommends Ordering Your Drawer Box A Minimum Of 3/4 Of Your Drawer Opening Height Dimension. This Helps To Offer Support To The Drawer Front & Mitigate Potential Warpage Over Time.

Side Mount Ball Bearing Slides
Requires "Notching For Slides" : NO
Drawer Box Width
**For ANY Thickness Drawer Side Material**
(QuikDrawers "Solid Wood Dovetail Drawers" Or QuikDrawers "Baltic Birch Dovetail Drawers")
Most "Standard" Duty (Up To 100lbs Load Rating), "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides Require ~1/2"(.5) Of Clearance On Each Side Of The Drawer Box.
(This Is The Most Commonly Used "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slide Type In Residential Grade Cabinetry)
So The Simple Math Is:
Subtract 1 1/16"(1.0625) From Your Cabinet Opening Width
Example:
Opening Width = 15"
15" Minus 1 1/16"(1.0625) = 13 15/16"(13.9375)w
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
(QuikDrawers Recommends Confirming The Manufacturer's Clearance Requirements For Your "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides.
If They Do Not Align With The Logic Above, Follow The Drawer Slide Manufacturer's Instructions)
Most "Heavy" Duty (Equal To Or Greater Than 150lbs Load Rating), "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides Require ~3/4"(.75) Of Clearance On Each Side Of The Drawer Box.
(This "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slide Type Is Typically Used ONLY When The Drawer Box Is 30" Or Deeper (Front To Back) & Is VERY RARELY Used In Residential Grade Cabinetry)
So The Simple Math Is:
Subtract 1 9/16"(1.5625) From Your Cabinet Opening Width
Example:
Opening Width = 15"
15" Minus 1 9/16"(1.5625) = 13 7/16"(13.4375)w
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
(QuikDrawers Recommends Confirming The Manufacturer's Clearance Requirements For Your "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides.
If They Do Not Align With The Logic Above, Follow The Drawer Slide Manufacturer's Instructions)
Drawer Box Depth
Determined By Cabinet Interior Depth
IMPORTANT NOTE:
"Full Extention Ball Bearing" Slides Have No Influence On The Drawer Box Depth (Front To Back).
You Can Use A 22" Long "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slide On A 20" Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box, Or A 20" Long "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slide On A 25" Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box, Or Any Other Combination Of Slide Length vs. Drawer Box Depth (Front To Back) Configurations.
The Important Thing To Understand Is That The Drawer Box Will Only Extend Outward Equal To The Length Of The "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slide.
Most Modern "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides Are Only Available In 2" Length Increments. (18", 20", 22", 24", Etc..)
To Maximize Your Drawer Box Footprint/Size:
Find Your Interior Cabinet Depth And Account For Your Slide Installation Hardware.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If You Are Using NON-"Self Adjusting" Rear Mounting Brackets, To Install The Slides To The Cabinet Back Wall, Or Installing To Your Cabinet Interior Side Walls, Subtract 1/2"(.5) From Your Cabinet Interior Depth.
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
If You Are Using "SELF ADJUSTING" Rear Mounting Brackets, Subtract 3/4"(.75) From Your Cabinet Interior Depth.
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
QuikDrawers Recommends A Minimum 1/2"(.5) Or 3/4"(.75) (Depending On You Mounting Method/Bracket Type) Difference Between Your Cabinet Interior Depth & Your Drawer Box Depth, So That The Drawer Box Is Less Deep (Front To Back) Than The Cabinet Interior Depth And The Closed Drawer Box Does Not Hit The Back Wall Of The Cabinet.
Example:
Cabinet Interior Depth = 21 5/8"(21.625)
21 5/8"(21.625) Minus 1/2" = 21 1/8"(21.125)
Drawer Box Depth = 21 1/8"(21.125)
Slide Lenth = 20"
The 21 1/8"(21.125) Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box Will Maximize The 21 5/8"(21.625) Cabinet Interior Depth.
But Because The Cabinet Interior Depth Is Only 21 5/8"(21.625), A 22" "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Will NOT Fit Inside The Cabinet, As It Is Too Long, And You Will Need To Drop Down To The 20" "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slide Length.
With The 20" Long "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides, The 21 1/8"(21.125) Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box Would Only Extend 20", But Would Still Offer Full Access To The Drawer Box Contents.
Special Consideration For "Inset" Drawer Fronts:
If Your Drawer Fronts Are "Inset" (Fit INSIDE The Drawer Opening), Subtract 1/2"(.5) (Or 3/4"(.75) If You Are Using "SELF ADJUSTING" Rear Mounting Brackets) From Your Cabinet Interior Depth And Then Subtract Your Drawer Front Thickness
Drawer Box Height
IMPORTANT NOTE:
With "Full Extention Ball Bearing" Slides, The Vertical Alignment, Inside The Cabinet Drawer Opening, Is Determined Directly By The Slide Installation Location, On The Side Of The Drawer Box, And Inside The Cabinet Drawer Opening.
So The "Gap/Space" Above & Below The Installed Drawer Box Is Determined, By You, And Will Allow You To Mazimize Your Drawer Box Height vs. Your Opening Height.
QuikDrawers Recommends Ordering Your Drawer Box Height, At Least, 1/4"(.25) Shorter Than Your Opening Height When Using "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides
To Maximize The Height Of Your Drawer Box vs. Your Opening Height:
You Would Order The Drawer Height Dimension Closest To AND Less Than Your Opening Height, Minus 1/4"(.25)
Example:
Opening Height = 5 1/4"(5.25)
5 1/4"(5.25) Minus 1/4"(.25) = 5"h
(This Is The MAXIMUM Recommended Height For Your Drawer Box)
Note: QuikDrawers.com Will Do Custom Widths & Depths In 1/16"(.0625) Increments, However Our Height Options Are Limited.
NOTE ON "STACKED" DRAWER/DRAWER BASE/DRAWER BANK CABINETS:
Often, With Taller Drawer Fronts, Like On A Cabinet With "Stacked" Drawers, You Will Find The Drawer Box Is A Few Inches Shorter Than The Opening Height.
If You Do Not Want To "Fill" Your Opening Height, With The Drawer Box, And A Shorter Drawer Better Suits Your Needs, QuikDrawers Recommends Ordering Your Drawer Box A Minimum Of 3/4 Of Your Drawer Opening Height Dimension. This Helps To Offer Support To The Drawer Front & Mitigate Potential Warpage Over Time.

Side Mount Partial Extension Euro Style Slides
Requires "Notching For Slides" : NO
Drawer Box Width
**For ANY Thickness Drawer Side Material**
(QuikDrawers "Solid Wood Dovetail Drawers" Or QuikDrawers "Baltic Birch Dovetail Drawers")
Most "Standard" "Epoxy Euro" Slides Require ~1/2"(.5) Of Clearance On Each Side Of The Drawer Box.
(This Is The Most Commonly Used Slide Type In Manufactured Residential Grade Cabinetry)
So The Simple Math Is:
Subtract 1" From Your Cabinet Opening Width
Example:
Opening Width = 15"
15" Minus 1" = 14"w
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
(QuikDrawers Recommends Confirming The Manufacturer's Clearance Requirements For Your "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides.
If They Do Not Align With The Logic Above, Follow The Drawer Slide Manufacturer's Instructions)
Drawer Box Depth
Determined By Cabinet Interior Depth
IMPORTANT NOTE:
"Epoxy Euro" Slides Have Some Influence On The Drawer Box Depth (Front To Back).
This Slide Type Requires That The Drawer Box Be "Lifted" & "Tilted" To Install It Into The Opening Or Removed From The Opening.
Because Of This Installation/Removal Method, The Drawer Box Depth MUST Consider The Drawer Box Height & The "Epoxy Euro" Slide Length.
Most Modern "Epoxy Euro" Slides Are Only Available In 2" Length Increments. (16", 18", 20", 22", Etc..)
To Maximize Your Drawer Box Footprint/Size:
Find Your Interior Cabinet Depth And Account For Your Opening Height & Slide Length.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If You Are Using NON-"Self Adjusting" Rear Mounting Brackets, To Install The Slides To The Cabinet Back Wall, Or Installing To Your Cabinet Interior Side Walls, Subtract 1/2"(.5) From Your Cabinet Interior Depth.
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
If You Are Using "SELF ADJUSTING" Rear Mounting Brackets, Subtract 3/4"(.75) From Your Cabinet Interior Depth.
(This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Box Width & The Dimension You Will Order)
QuikDrawers Recommends A Minimum 1/2"(.5) Or 3/4"(.75) (Depending On You Mounting Method/Bracket Type) Difference Between Your Cabinet Interior Depth & Your Drawer Box Depth, So That The Drawer Box Is Less Deep (Front To Back) Than The Cabinet Interior Depth And The Closed Drawer Box Does Not Hit The Back Wall Of The Cabinet.
Example:
Cabinet Interior Depth = 21 5/8"(21.625)
21 5/8"(21.625) Minus 1/2" = 21 1/8"(21.125)
Drawer Box Depth = 21 1/8"(21.125)
Slide Lenth = 20"
The 21 1/8"(21.125) Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box Will Maximize The 21 5/8"(21.625) Cabinet Interior Depth.
But Because The Cabinet Interior Depth Is Only 21 5/8"(21.625), A 22" "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Will NOT Fit Inside The Cabinet, As It Is Too Long, And You Will Need To Drop Down To The 20" "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slide Length.
With The 20" Long "Full Extension Ball Bearing" Slides, The 21 1/8"(21.125) Deep (Front To Back) Drawer Box Would Only Extend 20", But Would Still Offer Full Access To The Drawer Box Contents.
Special Consideration For "Inset" Drawer Fronts:
If Your Drawer Fronts Are "Inset" (Fit INSIDE The Drawer Opening), Subtract 1/2"(.5) (Or 3/4"(.75) If You Are Using "SELF ADJUSTING" Rear Mounting Brackets) From Your Cabinet Interior Depth And Then Subtract Your Drawer Front Thickness

Drawer Box Width - Subtract 1 1/16" From Your Cabinet Opening Width (This Dimension Is Your Finished Drawer Width)
Drawer Box Depth - Length Of Slide Does NOT Determine Drawer Box Depth***
(***Note: Slide Length & Drawer Box Depth Most Commonly Show Drawer Box Depth 1/4" Less Than Slide Length)
(***Example: If Using 22" Epoxy Euro Slides = 21 3/4" Drawer Box Depth)
(***IMPORTANT: If Your Drawer Box Height Is Within 3/4" Of Your Cabinet Drawer Opening Height, Reduce Drawer Box Depth 1 1/2" Shorter Than Slide)
