Tried the search function, but could not find the answer to this.
Blum 562F undermounts, the directions say that in order for the drawer to align and function properly, the inside drawer width must equal the interior cabinet width minus 1 15/16. Assuming my interior cabinet width is 20", and the drawer stock is all 3/4", this would mean that my inside drawer width is 18 1/16 and the outside drawer width has to be 19 9/16. (I am applying the drawer fronts.) My questions is this...how critical is that measurement? Can the drawers be more narrow and will the slides still funtion?
I dont have a problem making the drawer exactly this wide, I was just wondering if any of you folks with real world experience with these slides have noticed that there is room for play in thier dimensions. I guess I just want to know how exact I really need to be with this.
Thanks in advance.
