Thread: Removable stile for dishwasher?

    Removable stile for dishwasher?

    Can someone help me with some ideas on being able to put in and pull out a dishwasher with ease. I am designing a new cabinet for my dishwasher and am thinking of making the cabinet opening slightly wider than recommended and also having a removable stile to make it easier to move the DW in the future.

    Can someone give me some ideas on how to attach a removable stile to the cabinet? Normally I glue the rails and stiles to the cabinet prior to installation. Any other suggestions to accomplish the same would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    I did the same thing. I screwed in a 2x4 to a cabinet to give me good support and then screwed the face of the filler strip to the 2x4. I bunged the hole and it's pretty hard to see it unless you're looking for it. When the time comes, I'll drill out the bungs and unscrew the filler.

    I made 10 or 15 extra bungs and stapled them in a baggie to the back of the stile so I'll have matching replacement bungs when the time comes.
