We'll help you get drawer boxes in the right sizes whether you want to replace an existing size drawer box or if you need to take different measurements using a cabinet opening size. To achieve a proper fit with your new drawers, you'll need to consider the following:
All of our natural birch and premium maple solid wood drawer boxes are 5/8" thick.
All are built with dovetail construction and shipped fully assembled.
Drawer Boxes are available in heights from 2 to 12 inches.
Drawer boxes are available in 1/2" increments for height and 1/16" for both width and length/depth.

With or without a drawer box to measure, here's how to measure drawer size for a perfect fit:
Replacing an existing drawer box:
If you plan on using the same drawer glides (side-mount or undermount) then measure the height, width and length/depth by measuring the outside dimensions of the drawer box. You do not need to include the measurement of the drawer front.
Measuring the cabinet opening using side-mounted glides:
Measure the cabinet opening width (inside frame to frame) and subtract 1” from the width of cabinet frame opening. Typical side mount drawer glides take up 1/2" on each side of the drawer box. You may need to subtract more depending on the glides you choose.
Measure the cabinet opening height (inside frame to frame) and subtract at least 1/2” from the opening height. If your cabinet opening measurement comes to 3 3/4" then you need to round down to a 3 1/2" drawer box.
For length/depth, we recommend subtracting 1" from the length of the side-mounted drawer glides. If your glides are 21" in length, then subtract 1" for a 20" deep drawer box.
Measure the depth of your cabinet, being certain to check for obstructions like water or gas pipes. Typical kitchen base cabinet depth is 24”.
Measuring the cabinet opening using undermount glides:
Opening Width - Deduct 3/8" total from opening width (3/16" from each side).
Opening Height - Deduct 3/4" total from the opening height then round down to the closest 1/2" (As we sell drawer boxes in 1/2" heights only).
Box Length/Depth: The length/depth of your drawer box will dictate the length of your undermount glide. You should order the same glide length as the length/depth of your drawer box (21" depth drawer box = 21" undermount glides). Our undermount glides come in 3" increments from 12" to 21" with the most popular length being 21".
Do not forget to order the "notch and bore" option for each drawer box that will utilize undermount slides.
We recommend Blum 563H undermount glides for our drawer boxes. Check out our blog to learn more about "how to calculate the size of kitchen drawers using Blum tandem undermount slides".
Check out our undermount glide offerings under "Accessories" - 12", 15", 18" and 21" lengths available.
Hand pull is 5-1/4” wide and 11/16” deep, centered on front of drawer box.

Minimum box width allowed is 6”
