Click here for helpful information about preparing and installing the pullout/rollout shelf kit
- In the Product Specification menu above, select your pullout shelf width range
- Select 18", 20" or 22" for the depth of Pullout Shelf
- Type in the clear, unobstructed opening of your cabinet to the nearest 1/16", minus 1/4". Your trays and hardware will be dimensioned to fit. Watch out for hinges or doors that don't open out of the way. If you are not shelf mounting these pullout/rollout shelves, choose one of the other mounting methods below. If you are mounting your shelves direct to the cabinet frame, you will want to order your shelves to fit the entire clear opening (see step 4).
- Choose your Mounting Style:
- 4 "L" brackets - Normally for a full depth shelf or base shelf where the new pullout/rollout will sit completely on the existing shelf or cabinet base. Subract 1/4" from clear opening. Both upper and lower pullout/rollout will use the 4 "L" bracket method for installation.
-
4L Method for Base and Full Shelf
(Click to open in new window)4L Method for Base and Full Shelf - 2 "L" brackets - Normally for a half depth shelf, the rear of the new pullout/rollout uses 2 "L" brackets and will sit on the shelf in the rear and the front of the shelf is attached to the cabinet face/frame. Do NOT subtract the 1/4". The bottom or base pullout/rollout will use the 4 "L" bracket method for installation.
-
2L Method on Half Shelf
(Click to open in new window)2L Method on Half Shelf - 2 rear mounting brackets - Normally used if there is no mid shelf and the new shelf will need to be mounted to the rear wall with the front of the pullout/rollout attached to the cabinet face/frame. Do NOT subtract the 1/4". The bottom or base pullout/rollout will use the 4 "L" bracket method for installation
-
2RB Method for No Shelf
(Click to open in new window)2RB Method for No Shelf - Other - please give us a call with any questions about your particular pullout/rollout installation
- View the diagrams for how to measure and select your installation hardware
- Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 & 4 for all pullout shelving
- We strongly recommend that you add the Pullout Bumpers which are offered in the pulldown menus above. These will help to protect the interior of your cabinet doors from being marred by the pullout shelves as they are pulled out or if the doors are not fully opened or closed prematurely. The pullout shelf bumper is attached only on the hinge side of the pullout shelf front. If your cabinet openings are hinged on only one side, then you will need only 1 bumper per shelf. If your cabinet opening is hinged on both sides, then you will need two bumpers per pullout shelf. See pullout bumpers here.
If using the 4 "L" brackets, just measure your clear, unobstructed opening, and then subtract 1/4", this will be your width (Example: 15" opening, order a 14 3/4" wide set). Watch out for hinges or doors that don't open out of the way. Your assembled unit will be calculated to fit into the dimension of the opening that your order specifies. Use a 22" depth in most kitchens and 18" depth in most common bathroom or vanity cabinets.
