Slide out shelves

[Gary Redden]

I do not think I would do it without replacing the hinges also, I use 155 degree zero protrusion when I do slide-outs.

Many of the kitchens that I build have no lower doors whatsoever, only drawers. One option, although a bit more intense would be to just do drawers and make new fronts to match. Doors with pullouts are clumsy in my opinion and I do not see the point.

I just did this - "helped" a friend execute a Christmas present promise for his wife.

Here's what I found - the drawer glides need 1/2" between the shelf and the opening. The hinges projected less than 1/2" - but not by much. Since they were face-frame cabinets, with full overlay doors, the front end of the glides were screwed directly into the face frame, and everything cleared just fine.

"We" did have to build a frame to mount in the back of hte cabinet to support the glides. He had purchased glides to match the length of the drawers he wanted, which were 4"+ short of the cabinet depth. If he had gotten full-length glides, then he could also have gotten the accessory mounting brackets to screw to the cabinet backs, and the framing would not have been needed.

Thanks for all the ideas, has anyone looked at a website called SLIDE OUT SHELVES LLC. they have a bracket that attaches to the existing shelf from below and the slide attaches to it, it looks like a good idea, any thoughts or ideas?
