Hi. I'm just wondering. I've seen cabinets with the hole and metal peg placement of equal height and then the shelf can be adjusted accordingly. I'm planing pull out drawers (basically trays) on Blum glides. Has anyone seen if there's a way to do this and ALSO make them height adjustable?
Thanks

Attach your drawer runners to a thin strip (1/2-3/4" thick), then put small dowels in the back of the strip to fit into the shelf pin holes in the cabinet. Now make your drawer to fit inside the drawer runners.

Move the strips with the drawer runners up or down to adjust the distance between drawers.

An alternative scheme is to use a new or existing shelf and mount your pull out on that using bottom mount glides. I did it that way to build pull-outs with sides and dividers.
The benefit here is that the width of the pull out cabinet or shelf does not loose width, though I guess you'd loose some height. Thank you.

I'd not seen these, thanks! What's Grass guides?
Grass America is a brand of under mount draw guides. They also manufacture hinges and many other cabinet hardware. They are in the same class as Blum.

Just curious why you want to do that?

Using standard undermount slides, with a rear mounting bracket, you can mount the slide at whichever height you need. If you need to change later, you can remount at a different height. It means moving three screws per slide, to change height.

BTW, If you need undermount slides, we have more than what we know what to do with. You are welcome to pick up free.
