This step in the process to convert shelves to drawers will only be necessary if you have face framed cabinets like i do.
Convert cabinet to garbage drawer.
Use a level to extend that line across the width of the inside of the cabinet wall.
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.
A sturdy drawer on full extension slides gives you access to the cabinet s contents with a simple pull of the handles.
As one of my customers put it it brings the contents of the cabinet to you instead of you having to go into the cabinet and scrounge around for them it s relatively easy to convert a cabinet from doors to drawers.
Then measure the height from the bottom of the cabinet to the top of your drawer slide plus another 1 8 for clearance.
