What's your cabinet width?
Actual base or larder unit size / NOT the old drawer

Step 2 of 3
How thick are your cabinet sides?
This determines the exact internal width. Don't worry — there's an easy way to check.

Not sure? Here's how to check:
- ⚠️ IMPORTANT — Measure the actual base cabinet, NOT the old drawer
- Try to measure one of the unit sides with the drawer open or out altogether
- Best method: rigid tape measure, check by the mm scale. 20mm (2cm) is easy to find — work back: is it 20, 18, 16, or 15?

Internal drawers — packers:
1. In orders with packers for the hinge side, we do the calculation to allow for the 25mm.
2. On (double) units over 600mm wide, we supply packers for BOTH sides.

Tips before you order
+
- Always measure the space the drawer is going into — not the old drawer. This applies for both internal width and runner length.
- Runner lengths: e.g. for a 500mm runner length drawer, you need a MINIMUM of 505mm on the inside of your unit from front to back. So, runner length PLUS 5mm ensures a perfect fit.
- Replacement drawers don't include a front panel — you'll reattach your existing one, keeping your kitchen's matching look.
- Our packers are 25mm thick and cope with most standard 110° hinges.
- Prefer no packers? We can supply ZP hinges that allow any drawer to open without them. This is usually better if you're replacing the doors too, but over 95% of customers use packers for easy installation.
- No packer option: Select this if your internal drawer is behind a tall drawer front, or if there's no door on the unit.
- Glass infill panels are available as an optional extra with deep Tandembox drawers.
- Blum Tip-on (push-to-open) is offered where applicable per range.
- Mixed drawer depths: We can mix the depths in your SpaceTower or 3-pack to avoid a plug or obstruction — just ask, no extra cost.
