Hi,
I am getting ready to install these for the first time. It is for face frame cabinets. The lip on the bottom of the opening is 4MM. I made a 4MM block and placed it under the rear of the slide and checked level with a magenetic level. It was out of level - the back seems to be about 2MM lower than the front. It is the cabinet itself. I am keeping the exisitng cabinet boxes and making new drawers, drawer fronts and doors.
The question is: should I go ahead and reference off the floor of the cabinet making the slide slightly out of level or do I level the slide and make the drawer box front silghtly out of perpendicular to the face frame? Certainly, most commercial jigs I see reference off the face frame, so option #2.
Thanks in advance
Jerry
