Pull out spacers.

Hello All

I'm trying to come with a better solution for pull out spacers on inset cabinets. Right now we are using 3/4'' x 2'' spacers, but seen to be too time consuming. 90% of our cabinets are inset and we flush out our box with the face frame and we use 1" thick doors, so we need at least 2" spacers. Just wonder if you guys like to share what do you use it. Thanks and happy Easter.

Flush the side panel to the inside edge of the frame, on finished ends this means 2 end panels. That way your spacers are only 1", and Blum makes a specific plastic spacer for tandems for just this purpose. We use our CNC to predrill these holes. Can't get any faster than that. Furthermore, it completely eliminates spacers for standard drawers

Hello DS

I'm not sure if I understand you but like I said on previous post, all our boxes are flush with face frame on the inside and our doors are 1" thick. So when you open the door at 90 deg. you need a minimum 1 1/4", I like to leave 2" so there is 3/4" space between the pull out and door.

Google Tenn-Tex Plastics.
They make an adjustable pilaster system
that should work for you.
I get mine at C.H. Briggs.com

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I usually talk people into drawers vs. doors with pullouts. To access pullouts you have to open two doors and reach into the cabinet. (3 actions). Drawers, 1 action. Also, pullouts,+slides, hinge+ final finish inside box and backside of door = more $

Edi,

Just an observation, you sure don't need to use the inset locking devices with a pullout.

The price spread between a standard locking device and the inset is over $2 with no benefit.

I strongly agree dub , the majority of the bases in my kitchens are drawers .

Another main consideration is the fact that roll out shelves behind doors can not be easily accessed by wheel chair .

I too have to agree with dub and D Brown.

My kitchen bases are all drawers.....we do not regret it.

I try to sway customers to go that way also.

All drawers would be easy for me as well, but at the end, is not my decision, i do try to convince my customers to go with drawers. Unfortunately 9 out 10 of my kitchens comes with pull out.
So back on my original question, Antony i did look the pilasters, i will give a try, Thanks

Edi,
We used to do them the same way as you but recently started drilling those cabinets for adjustable shelves then screwing the bottom roll out slides to the cabinet floor and the upper set to the adjustable shelf.
This requires using an Ell shaped shelf pin with a hole and a screw into the shelf to prevent tipping when the roll out is extended.
I've been meaning to get a few of the locking type shelf supports to see how they would work, it would be much easier than screwing through the Ell shaped support from below.
This method has the benefit of making the roll outs adjustable too.
I cant take credit for the idea, I saw it at another shop.

Chuck - I like your method, I'm going to try that.

Edi, we also build a lot of inset cabs. We do our tray blocking the same way as in your pic. We only use the tenn-tex system for pantries due to the ease of adjustment for the customer.

Personally, the clear coated wood looks better then the tenn-tex and honestly easier to install. Buy the time you run all the screws needed to secure the 2" plastic pilasters and install the little hooks on your slides...well lets just say the wood route is the ticket for base cab trays. We made a simple template out of a sheet of 1/4 mdf that we lay over the ends prior to assembly and drill all the holes. I keep a back stock of pre-finished rips for all my different stand off thicknesses.

Good Luck!

On another note, where are you getting your door stops?

Jason, i got the door stops from Hafele, you can get for double doors, singles and also for a application where the box is not flush with the face frame, like the first pic at the top of the door. Works very good for us.

Sorry I'm trying to highlight the web but no success.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
