Base Cabinets
Replacing Drawer Fronts As noted in the drawings to the left, in certain instances it may be necessary to replaced a damaged drawer front. This is easily accomplished by the following steps: 1. Using a thin blade tool, pry out the nylon glides on the side of the drawer front. (Note: This step is not applicable for casework with overlay-style drawer fronts, as those fronts do not have nylon glides.) 2. Use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the two screws at the bottom of the drawer front. 3. Pull the drawer front slightly outward and up to remove it from the drawer body. 4. Place the new drawer front on the drawer body. 5. Tighten the two screws at the bottom of the drawer front. 6. Push in the two nylon glides (inset-style drawer fronts only). 7. Refer to the instructions above to adjust the spacing around the drawer front, if necessary.
Door Adjustments 1. Spacing of Doors:
For cabinets with recessed fronts, the proper spacing around a door is .085” (5/64) on all sides, as shown above. The middle space (gap) between two doors is also .085”. For cabinets with overlay fronts, the spacing between the outside of a door and the side of the cabinet. (i.e., the side reveal) is .085” (5/64”). The vertical space between two doors, or between a door and a drawer front, is .085”. 2. Adjusting the door (hinge) up or down: Each door can be adjusted up or down slightly for spacing purposes by loosening the hinge screws and moving the hinge as necessary. Be sure to tighten the screws securely when finished.
