How to use this tool

  1. Enter cabinet opening width, runner clearance per side, drawer side thickness, and extra combined fit allowance in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for drawer box runner clearance. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "opening": 60,
  "runner": 1.25,
  "side": 1.5,
  "tolerance": 0.1
}

Accuracy and scope

Use the exact hardware specification; undermount runners can require different clearances and notches.
