Are these available for installed cabinets? Or do the cabinets have to be new construction?

I think a good carpenter or cabinetmaker could retrofit toe kick drawers, but he/she would have to be willing to work on their belly and have slender enough arms/upper arms to work in a 4"-high opening. Opening up an existing toe kick is not without risks because you cannot always predict what is under the cabinet, yet generally it will be an open space between two sidewalls or the left and right side of a separate toe kick box. I find that I need about 1/2" below the drawer box/face in most cases because floors are often not level. If you install a TKD in a normal 4"-high toe kick, by the time you subtract the drawer bottom, you typically will not have much more than 3" of usable height left.

In sum, to get the kind of storage you see here, you need custom cabinets built. The TK drawers above were made to fit into a 7"-high toe kick. (Counters are 38"-high.) The guides are 24"-long full-extension. The counters above are 30"-deep--my standard counter depth--with 27"-deep drawers in the cabinets below.

A cabinet maker or good carpenter could do this for you.

I designed the drawers, drawing them in CAD, and then sent that to the shop, Aristocratic Cabinets, Chehalis, WA, to build. Because I make my client's counters 30"-deep, I can use longer drawer guides in the box above (27") and here in the toe kick (24"). I also modified the height of the toe kick to 7"H to gain more usable storage.

Consider whether or not you want the drawer pulls to match your cabinet hardware or be different. Considering they will be somewhat hidden, you can get away with less expensive versions.Mix and match cabinet and drawer hardwareAlso, plan where the seams will fall. You may not want seams on your baseboards that don’t line up with your cabinets. In this case the drawer fronts can be extended to help visually balance the seams.

Toe-kick drawers. This is such a clever solution, as if someone was looking at a kitchen and saying, ‘"Hmm, there simply must be more inches around here somewhere,” then looked down at their feet and had a light-bulb-over-the-head moment. There’s valuable space lurking beneath those lower cabinets. How to Add Toe-Kick Drawers for More Storage
