Nominal width is not internal width
A cabinet label describes its outside module. The clear space inside its drawer varies by manufacturer, drawer system and joinery specification. Always measure the finished drawer itself.
Three dimensions determine compatibility
Record clear internal width, depth and height. Width selects the Vide range; its 472 mm depth and 53 mm height must also clear the drawer structure.
Allow for variation
Measure width at the front and back and use the smaller figure. Finished joinery can vary slightly from plans, and an existing liner can disguise the true base dimensions.
Vide width ranges
The six Vide sizes cover internal drawer widths from 400 to 1000 mm.
- NO.4: 400–499 mm
- NO.5: 500–599 mm
- NO.6: 600–699 mm
- NO.7: 700–799 mm
- NO.8: 800–899 mm
- NO.9: 900–1000 mm
Check the drawer before delivery
For new cabinetry, confirm dimensions after the drawers are installed rather than relying only on plans. Ask the cabinetmaker about internal drawers, handle projections and other hardware that could reduce clear height or depth.
Record measurements clearly
Write width, depth and height in millimetres and photograph the tape in each position. A simple record makes it easier to confirm the correct range and avoids confusing cabinet width with usable drawer space.
