Folks,

I'm about at wits end on getting my fourth top drawer (rationelle) into my 18" cabinet in the master bath (used kitchen cabinets in baths). Unfortunately the instructions show the number 22 hole for the bottom large drawer, and the only other hole they show is number 12. I've got the bottom three drawers in, but the very top one won't fit with the back of the drawer being too high to fit in? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. It would be nice if they just published the hole numbers for all of the drawers instead of having one figure it out and strip the screw holes.

I posted this in General Questions as well. The hole locations (from the top) are holes 4, 9, 14 and 22.

Hamilton,



Thanks very much. I had a sleepless night trying to figure that out last night!

Hamilton,

I went to the house last night and put all the railings at the holes you stated and I can't get the drawers to slide in at all. The drawer backs are approx. a 1/2 inch too high and hit the rail above it. Are all the Rationelle drawer backs the same height, or are some supposed to be lower in height?
Thanks for your assist.

are you putting the screws into the top of the two holes. If you are putting them in the bottom of the two holes you would lose that 1/2 inch.

Hamilton,

I'm putting them in the top holes and not the bottom ones, which made me think I should probably try the bottom holes, but not from what you're saying?

I'm having difficulty installing rationelle drawers in my 15 and 18 inch kitchen base cabinets. The drawer slide hole mounting pattern (#4,9,14,22) doesn't provide clearance for the lower drawer to clear the slides. I purchased 4 drawer fronts for each of these cabinets (one large, 3 small). Can anyone please help me solve this problem? Thanks.

perryrip -

I checked my 4 drawer stack and the previous poster has the correct holes.

But from your followup description it sounds like you may have the wrong backs on your drawers. The shallow drawer backs are the same height as the shallow drawer sides. There should be no way the backs could hit the rail above unless you had installed your rails too close together.

The hole spacing is correct : 4,9,14,22 from the top.
The drawer # for the top three should be 101.070.67, for the bottom 201.070.81.

We're assembling an 18" base cabinet with 4 drawers, and found the same problems as other people posted here. We have 3 of 101-070-67 and 1 of 201-070-81. We needed to move the three smaller drawers up one hole each, and now everything fits fine. So the positions we used are 3, 8, 13, and 22.
