Question about blind corner sizes/space requirements...

7 years ago

Trying to get our cabinet design down and am wondering if I'm correct that several lines offer a Lemans type blind corner base that would fit into a 45-48 inch cabinet? Do I need to add anything to that for filler/spacing needs?


I do believe the other wall would need 3 inches of filler which works out just fine. But as I work this out, hoping that 45-48 max is truly all I need on one side.


Thanks for any experience you can share with these!

    Why not do an actual lazy susan type corner instead of all the hassle of finding the right blind corner hardware.Maybe post a pic of the cabinet you want to use since 45-48’ is a large cabinet and I am not sure what the purpose of that size would be. I actually don’t find all of the complicated pullouts for blind corners one bit better than a good quality lazy susan.Do you actually have a KD or is this a DIY design.

    Lemans corner units are wonderful. Yes you do need a filler and the corresponding "wall pull" to ensure you are able to open the door fully to allow the accessory to snake out. This allows for the handles to clear each other on perpendicular base units. Check the specs on the cabinet manufacturer's door size for each of the 45 & 48" cabinets and ensure the Lemans you select is sized for the opening. Also, watch the proximity to appliances, you may need additional pull for the corner door to open at 90d if it is too close. Good Luck.

    You can often get an Easy Reach with wider dimensions on one side and/or the other. E.g. 30" x 24":

    30" on one side and 24" on the other.

    SunAlta - thank you! Can you educate me on what a 'wall pull' means? I'm sure a KD can advise me too - I'm shopping around and trying to learn as much as I can before I make a final choice in line. This would be next to my slide in range.

    Certainly, below is a photo of a typical lemans corner with an open door.

    Each cabinet manufacturer has different install specs for a blind corner unit, some require a "wall pull" some do not, the door and blind panel are sized accordingly. I have also included an example of a lemans in a project. Note in this instance the handle just clears the dishwasher allowing the door to open. Range is on the right. Appliances always are proud of the doors and as such as KD we need to account for their depths and handles. Ensure you compare the Lemans drawings to your kitchen layout.

    Got it, SunAlta - thank you! My oven is same location as this image and there is no appliance on the other side so I think it will be just fine but I'll be sure to talk to KD in detail as we get further in process. Appreciate your time!
