Base Cabinets
4. If necessary, adjust drawers up or down. You can adjust the drawer up or down if the gap at the top or bottom is uneven. For cabinets with recessed fronts, the proper spacing around a drawer front is 0.125” (1/8”) on all sides. For cabinets with overlay fronts, the proper horizontal spacing between two drawer fronts, or between a door and drawer front, is also 0.125”. For 35” high base cabinets, the top gap/reveal is 0.575”, as shown below. The bottom gap/reveal is 0.65” for both 29” and 35” high base cabinets. Steps to adjust drawers up or down: 1. Loosen the screws at the bottom of the drawer front. 2. Grab the drawer front and slide it up or down. 3. Tighten the screws and check for fit. Repeat if necessary.
