I have a large 36” wide cabinet that I use for my Pots and pans and other cooking things. It’s deep so I want to add pull out drawers. I saw some cheap expandable metal ones on amazon. About $30 each. Those would be simple to install but I know I can build something better quality with just a few pieces of wood. A couple questions though
my cabinet face has a divider in the middle. (See photo) should I keep that and create 4 separate pull outs? Or, I saw in a video, that they removed that divider and attached it to one of the doors so it closes with the door but I can utilize the full width of the cabinet for a pull out. It’s clever but I worry that it won’t line up or there might be a slight gap above and below the divider when the doors are closed. Any advice on that?
which types of slides should I use? If I remove the divider and make a full width pull out then I can use side mounts but I worry about them holding all The weight. If so I’ll need to add a spacer to make it flush with the little face of the cabinet. I was thinking of using two center under at undermount slides per full width pull out (or one per pull out if I do 4). Any recommendations on slides? I don’t think want to use the undermounts that attach to the sides too but I guess that’s an option
regarding building these, I was just going to build four small boxes with a bottom, attach it with wood glue, screws and brad nails. But do you think I’ll need corner braces for the bottoms or sides as well? I planned on getting corner clamps to build and attach them though.
Thanks for the advice
