Rev-A-Shelf Pull out trash installation

4 years ago

I just purchased a Rev-A-Shelf 4WCBM-18DM-2 Double 35-Quart Maple Bottom Mount trash pullout and am getting ready to install it. The written instructions they provide are not very helpful and contradict some of what their own videos illustrate so I am hoping someone can help who has installed these before. I have face-framed style cabinets with overlay doors.


The instructions state to "Position the front of the wood frame even with the front of the face frame." This makes sense to me however, the metal brackets that attach the wood frame to the door actually stick out beyond the wood frame slightly (approx. 1/8" of an inch) (making the wood frame slightly recessed from the brackets) so if I make the wood frame flush with my cabinet face-frame then those metal brackets will be slightly proud of the face-frame and may prevent the door from fully closing.


Should I make the brackets flush with the face-frame of the wood frame of the unit flush with the face-frame? The unit does have a slotted screw hole opening so I would be able to adjust it forward or backward slightly if needed but would like to avoid this if possible. Here are a couple of pictures for reference, with the unit just sitting inside the cabinet for now.
