Retrofitting a pullout 'pantry'

flogen

I've a fairly narrow press in my cabinets that I'm currently using to store the usual bits like herbs/spices, jars, flour etc. but it's size means it gets messy easily (while I also need to empty it out every time I want something from the back etc).

The ideal solution would be to replace the shelves in it with some pull-out drawers but I'm not sure how to go about retrofitting something like this and was wondering if anyone had any advice.

Is it simply a case of buying drawer slides and building/hacking together some drawers around them, or are there any products out there designed for this kind of job (I'm thinking something that could be adjusted to fit the required width).

Thanks in advance!

You wont get any adjustable stuff for this.
I presume you cannot buy something a bit narrower and build out the sides?
Otherwise just get the drawer slides, get ones that come out all the way as opposed to the normal ones which "hide" the back few inches

It's a fairly narrow press to begin with so would probably be hard to find something smaller still (and if I did I'd probably not be left with much space!)

Will pick up the slides and try to put something together - thanks for the tip about the ones that pull all the way out.

What size is the press pull out units are available down to 150 mm carcasses afaik
Check out the Häfele web site to see what's available or Flanagan fittings web site. If the carcass was to big the next size down could be got and the sides built out to suit
Or if you were handy buy the full extension drawer runners like Calahonda said and make a unit to fit inside the original to suit your needs. There's loads of solutions it just depends on your skill set and budget.
