IKEA Sektion cabinets and popup outlets

6 years ago

Has anyone figured out how to make popup outlets work with Sektion (drawer) cabinets? Because of large windows/no backsplash/no upper cabinets, we have 4 locations that have to have an outlet and there's no place to put them other than a pop-up. We also have all drawers underneath and I prefer not to lose/hack up the drawers.


Our county only allows for one type of pop-up that requires a 3.5 inch cutout and a 4.25 flange underneath and I don't know how to fit this in without having to cut out the back of the drawer. With the way the back of the cabinets hang on a rail, is there any way to revise the cabinet and not ruin the integrity/strength of the cabinet? I think

there's about 2.5 inches of space between the back of the drawer and the back panel of the cabinet. If I added a 2x2 behind the cabinets to add to the total depth, if there was a way to make a cutout in the back of the cabinet, I think that would give me enough space for the popup.
