electrical codes vary from county to county, so I suggest you show this picture to your contractor to discuss what his electrician can do. But we used a pigtail cord behind the cabinet which allowed for retraction, etc. I hope this helps you, and good luck!

@Jtech When did that get UL approved? How many amps is it rated for?

The Docking Drawer was approved in February and is rated for 3 amps which will charge 4 devices simultaneously. Our next in-drawer power outlet, Style Drawer, will offer full 20amps of service along width full drawer extension for narrow width drawers. Look for more information on Style Drawer on our website in a week or two.

This is a great idea. We need to stock them.

20 amp capacity is the way to go. We have two Samsung S4's that require 2 a each. This doesn't include laptops, tablets, wireless be headsets, etc. 3 a system wouldn't even work.

Waiting on the 20 amp to be released in the early fall. We currently stock the 3 amp version which includes 2 USB ports. we will have the 20 amp version in stock as soon as they are available.

We will also be offering a drawer and docking drawer combination soon for easier upfits and installations.

Are you offering this docking drawer now?

Absolutely. You can see it at www.dockingdrawer.com. Feel free to give us a call if you have questions.

Are you able to shut the drawer when things are charging? does it get to warm?

Yes you can close the drawer and things will still charge. If you are just using USB charging then it does not get too warm. If you use the AC outlets we limit the current to 3A (two laptops charging) so again it does not get too warm. We have a bathroom version with a 20A outlet designed for blow dryers and curling irons. That model has a built in thermostat which will turn the power off if the temperature exceeds 120 degrees F. Hope that helps.

We provide drawer box with runners and a separate piece that mounts to cabinet back with junction box on it
