8 Drawer Panel Installation

Custom 1/4" Drawer Panel Inserts

Drawer Panel Preparation

Custom drawer panels can be inserted into the drawer fronts. Custom drawer panels can be flat or raised, as long as the maximum panel thickness where inserted into the drawer front reveal (channel) is 1/4"-thick. For raised panels, the depth of the reveal is 1/4" on all four sides.

IMPORTANT

Raised panels will reduce the drawer’s front clearance if the unit is installed facing an appliance or structure (see Page 5).

Cut the panel inserts to the following dimensions. Custom 1/4" Dimensions:

Width:23-1/32"

Height:12-15/32"

The door panels must not have a total weight of more than 20 lbs.

CAUTION

Use care when handling the insert. Insert edges may be sharp.

Full Overlay Drawer Panels

Drawer Panel Preparation

Full overlay drawer panels completely cover the drawer fronts and handles to give a built-in appearance. Overlay units are shipped ready for Full Overlay installation.

Note: For standard installations, both drawers mount the same and a 1/2" gap is achieved between drawers.

Cut the overlay to the following dimensions. Full Overlay Dimensions:

Width:23-3/4"

Height:14-3/4"

IMPORTANT

The thickness of the wood overlay panel must be 3/4". The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs.
