Pull outs are expensive!!

17 years ago

Wow! I just found out that the additional cost to have an 18" garbage pull out instead of just an 18" base cabinet is $1000.00 with Cabico. And the additional cost to have a 12" pull out instead of a 12" base cabinet is $700.00. Wow! I really want these but that's ridiculous. I know I can buy after market pull outs but then you have to open a cabinet door and then pull out. Does anyone have this set up? And is it okay . . . or will I be sorry I didn't go the extra expense?

    not expensive if you use ikea. if you just want an 18" garbage pullout the drawer and hardware would cost you about $45 cdn. make sure the holes in your cabinet are appropriately spaced to accept the slides and that you create the holes on the inside of your cab door to accept the hardware to attach door to drawer (you can download the template at ikeafans) and voila-garbage pullout.

    Hummmm but I'm not buying a whole Ikea kitchen, I'm buying a Cabico kitchen. Can I still use the Ikea pullout? I'm confused.

    The Ikea pullout is basically just the hardware to convert a standard cabinet into a trash pull-out.

    You can also find similar items at Lowes.

    Kind of like this:

    I don't know about the IKEA pullout, but I think the Rev-A-Shelf pullouts can be attached to a door. I think you can just have Cabico send you an 18" base cabinet w/the door unattached. Then, you go out & buy an IKEA or Rev-A-Shelf pullout and install it yourself...attaching the door to the pullout.

    Ditto for a 12" pullout.

    If some DIYers could jump in here who have done this...

    Ok right I see. So it is still a two step motion.
    1. Open the cabinet door
    2. Pull out the trash

    That's what I meant by buying a trash pull out after market. But again are people happy with these as opposed to the one step pull out that the cabinet companies offer?

    Rev-a-Shelf makes 18" trash/recycle pullouts. You can get the cabinet from Cabico with the door not drilled for hinges, install the Rev-a-shelf yourself and attach the door to the pullout. I don't know about the 12" - you might have to live with pullout trays from Rev-a-shelf and open the door to get at them. Or did you want 12" trash pullout?

    Rev-A-Shelf is more expensive than Ikea but at least I know they'll work with just about any cabinet - MASCO (Merillat/Kraftmaid) buy from them.

    You can add the kind that is mounted to the door without spending that much. Rev-a-shelf, Knape and Vogt, Hafele and Amerock all sell hardware that will mount their garbage and many of their storage systems to your cabinet doors. If your not handy you can still get someone to do it for cheaper than what most cabinet companies will charge you for those kind of add ons.

    I don't know about these things, but why not just tell your cabinet company to NOT attach the door? Then you won't have any hardware to take off.

    I attached two different types of Rev-a-Shelf pull outs with this type of trash bin holder. My "recycle" cabinet uses a large single pull out and a double pull out. There is a door attachment kit that you purchase separately. I can't believe the extra price that the cabinet company is charging you. I didn't pay more than $50 for either of the pull outs, and the door mounting hardware was an additional bit - it has been a few months, but I think I paid about 12 - 16 dollars. It wasn't too hard to install - just some patience.

    hestia_flames - where did you get Rev-A-shelf for that price? Their website is much higher - I'm thinking of using their vanity filler pullouts to add to my vanity to fit my sinks and center under 1 light the builder got off-center, but each 3" pullout (whole cabinet, not just glides) is $230!

    Hi ajsmama,

    The trash/recycle bin pull outs were from Lowes, beginning of December. They had a sale.

    I just googled Lowes+Rev-A-Shelf+trash then went to "shopping" and came up with this link (couldn't find them easily on the Lowes website.) Hope it helps.

    We were also looking into the same type of fillers, but found that they had to be special ordered at Lowes - we found much better prices at ebay, but ended up going in a different direction.

    We did the RAS pullout for our trash and saved a bundle. Just order the door unattached, and it's an easy install. The slides mount to the floor of the cabinet and the pullout attaches to the door. Just as nice if not MORE so that whatever the cabinet company offers.

    For benefit of OP - do they make a pullout (trash? or drawers/shelves like the fillers?) to fit a 12" wide cabinet? I think that would make it something like a 9" wide drawer, 10" wide door?

  • 17 years ago

    By the time you acount for the cabinet walls you would be looking for something about 10 inches wide. I looked at the attached pull out and if memory serves if you buy the separate kit it can be attached to your cabinet door.

    For the OP and everyone else...not only does Rev-A-Shelf make pullout cabinet inserts, but they also make filler pullouts...meaning you don't need a cabinet, you install them between two cabinets. (They attach to the exterior walls of the cabinets on each side of the filler space.) The nice thing about filler pullouts is that you don't lose width due to cabinet walls. However, they must be installed at time of your cabinet install; they cannot be retrofitted.

    Filler pullouts are available for both base cabinets (3", 6", & 9") & upper cabinets (3" & 6").

    Base: http://www.rev-a-shelf.com//Common/ProductCategory.aspx?Class=Sink%20&%20Base%20Accessories&Family=Wood%20Accessories&Category=Filler%20Pull-Outs%20-%20Base

    Upper/Wall: http://www.rev-a-shelf.com//Common/ProductCategory.aspx?Class=Wall%20Accessories&Family=Wood%20Accessories&Category=Filler%20Pull-Outs%20-%20Wall

    Other manufacturers may make them as well...


    BTW...you can find the various Rev-A-Shelf items much cheaper elsewhere...but the Rev-A-Shelf site lets you see what's available.

    Are you sure that pricing is right? Maybe that was 'list pricing'.

  • 17 years ago

    judydel, lots of options as you can see but one of them would not be $700-$1000!!! That's robbery. I mentioned Ikea because that's what I know and it works well. If you are at all handy you can use the Ikea hardware on other cabs besides ikea cabs. whatever you use, definitely go for one motion ie door attached to hardware-it'll drive you nuts otherwise- it did me

  • 17 years ago

    FWIW, the cost to upgrade a regular base cabinet (24" wide, I think) to drawers or pullout shelves was around $300 in the kitchen I just ordered (Glenwood).
    $700-$1000 seems like waaaaay too much money! Even if you are not DIY, your carpenter should be able to retrofit RevAShelf, Ikea, whatever for a lot less.

    When our budget started getting pinched, we cut back on pull-outs excpet where we seriously felt they were needed. I ordered one base as a standard base, with the intention of adding some roll-trays later if I feel the need. That would cost me $60 instead of $300.

  • 17 years ago

    What are you putting in the 12" cabinet? I would do Rev A Shelf or something similar for trash in 18" cabinet and then just regular drawers in the 12" cabinet - unless you're looking for a 12" trash pullout? Not sure they make pullouts in 12" - it's in between the 9" filler pullout and a 15" trash pullout.

  • 17 years ago

    How about splitting the 12" into two 6" filler pullouts for the bottles and spices?
