Installing revashelf blind corner swingouts?

18 years ago

Howdy -

Got my wooden Revashelf D-trays (a GOOD eBay purchase this time - $30+shipping, so under $50!). Would be nice to get them IN asap and avoid wasting contratcor time, and DH is willing to install them himself IF we can figure out how to do it - the instructions are a little cryptic, not least of which because the way the templates are labelled we can't even figure out which one we're supposed to use.

Anybody have any insights, or is there a website somewhere with more detailed instructions (ideally with pictures) that we could look at? It's only because we've never seen a cabinet with one installed, so it's hard to figure out just from the way it's expressed in the directions. Example: are we "European hinges" or not? KM has the inside adjustable hinges which I thought were called Euro hinges, but it's a framed cabinet and NOT a Euro Cabinet, thus leading to our confusion...

Anyway, any pointers and/or websites w/pointers welcomed (I vaguely remember a link to some installation videos at some point, but can't find them now - of course!)

Tx in advance!

Just an update on this in case anybody else ever wonders: once we figured out which template to use, it was easy - took us a long time as it was the first one (and we'd never seen a finished installation before, thus didn't have an "end result" image in our heads) but we could probably do it in about 10 minutes now we know how it works.

The only "trick" to know is that if you use a power screwdriver (recommended) you need an extra long shank on the bit so that you can fit the drill around the bracket edges. We had to go get one of those, but it followed Churchill's "Give us the tools and we will finish the job" principal and it was extremely easy after that.

And it is a GREAT addition to our setup! The swing+slide D shelves are super, and they even leave a little space on the floor for tall/awkwardly-shaped items, so it really improves the functional space in a blind cabinet.

Can you possibly post a pic of the finished shelf? I can't quite picture it and would love to see what you've installed. I sure do admire your "just figure it out and go do it" attitude!
