Measuring Process
While measuring for your drawer boxes might seem challenging at first, adhering to these guidelines will simplify the task. Keep your pencil and notepad at the ready, and measure each cabinet opening at least twice to avoid errors.
-
Record Measurements: Measure the width and height of each cabinet opening to the nearest 1/8 inch. Note these dimensions on your notepad in the format of width x height. For example, you might write "14 inches width x 30 inches height."
-
Measurement Details:
- Width: Measure the cabinet opening width minus the specifications required for drawer slides.
- Height: Measure the cabinet opening height, accounting for the drawer slide specifications.
- Depth: Measure the cabinet opening depth, considering hardware recommendations for distance adjustment.
Ensure your measurements are precise, as the drawer box will be custom-made to fit these specifications. Incorrect measurements may result in an ill-fitting drawer and a non-returnable item. Double-check your measurements to confirm accuracy before placing your order.
- Placing Your Order: Enter your custom drawer box sizes and quantities into the order form, ensuring that you’ve selected the correct depth. Review your entries carefully for any errors. Once you’re confident that everything is correct, submit your order. You’re on your way to achieving the perfect cabinets for your space.
