How to Measure for Your Custom Cabinet Insert

Getting the right fit starts with a few simple measurements! Follow this quick guide to make sure your custom insert is sized correctly.

Step 1: Measure Your Cabinet Opening

Measure the width (left to right) and height (top to bottom) of the opening where your insert will go.

- Record your measurements in inches.

- Round to the nearest 1/8 inch.

- Double-check your measurements before continuing!

Step 2: Choose Your Mounting Style

Back-Mounted Inserts

For inserts installed behind the cabinet opening, subtract 1/8 inch from both the width and height of your measurements. This allows a little clearance for installation.

Front-Mounted Inserts

For inserts mounted to the front of the cabinet opening, use your full measurements. No subtraction is needed!

Step 3: Check Your Measurements

Here's a quick example using a cabinet opening measuring 12" wide × 18" tall:

Mounting Style	Final Insert Size
Back-Mounted	11 7/8" × 17 7/8"
Front-Mounted	12" × 18"
