Workshop plan
Step-by-step instructions
1
Step 1
Confirm the cabinet boxes are independently supported and locate legs, utilities, flooring transitions, and the toe-kick attachment method.
2
Step 2
Remove the toe-kick carefully and measure the available height and width for a shallow drawer box.
3
Step 3
Build low-profile boxes with a flush front, then install push-to-open slides rated for the load.
4
Step 4
Add a removable divider and positive stops so the drawer cannot slide into plumbing or adjacent supports.
5
Step 5
Reinstall the toe kick around the drawer fronts and test the opening with feet, trim, and cabinet doors in place.
Safety check
Do not cut cabinet supports, flooring, electrical, or plumbing. Shut off relevant utilities before investigation and consult a professional if the toe-kick zone is structural.
