Convert Cabinet To Garbage Drawer

A sturdy drawer on full extension slides gives you access to the cabinet s contents with a simple pull of the handles.

Convert cabinet to garbage drawer.

That number is how high on the cabinet door you need to attach your drawer. Since the hole in my cabinet was actually a little wider than the height of the doors i wanted to be able to re use the center frame piece to build out the cabinet frame to the correct width. You will be using that line as a guide for placing the two strips of wood which will hold the drawer hardware. Use a level to extend that line across the width of the inside of the cabinet wall.

This step in the process to convert shelves to drawers will only be necessary if you have face framed cabinets like i do. Measure up from the bottom of the cabinet sides and mark the height you ve just found the trash can height plus one inch with a pencil.
