Custom Drawer Boxes Common Options

NEW! We Have Just Added Blum Slide Clips to Our Common Options!

We offer a variety of options that can be used to customize your dovetail drawer boxes. You can select these options to:

1. AID INSTALLATION

2. DISTINGUISH HIGH-END CABINETRY

AID INSTALLATION
You can choose common options to aid in the installation of your custom drawers. For example, we offer three standard undermount notch widths (2″, 3-3/4″, 5″) with standard hole drilling. These will accommodate most undermount drawer box slides. In addition, we now offer Blum T51-1901 undermount slide clips. Moreover, you may also select front hole drilling to your exact specifications in order to easily attach drawer fronts.

DISTINGUISH HIGH-END CABINETRY
Selecting alternate top and bottom edge options can help to distinguish your high-end custom cabinetry. For instance, a Machine with Hand Sand top edge provides a tight joint at the top edge, and it gives a more “handmade” appearance. Similarly, choosing bottom edge options offers a more refined touch.
