All of the information below can be found in our design/ordering wizard. As you work through the custom insert wizard, you'll come to the information below as you need it. You can read the information here or, as long as you don't want to integrate a knife block, you can get started by getting an
We need to know the size of your drawer. Be as accurate as you can. We'll make our insert a little smaller (one eighth inch, to be exact) to ensure that it will fit into your drawer.
The height of your insert is the height of the usable storage you'll have in your insert.
Currently available heights:
- 1.5 inches
- 2 inches
- 2.5 inches
- 3 inches
- 3.5 inches
- 5 inches
If you choose to add a plywood bottom to you insert, it will increase your insert's overall height by 0.25 inches.
Your custom drawer insert will be sized slightly smaller than your drawer's dimensions.
The insert's width will be 1/8" less than the space in your drawer. This will leave 1/16" of space between your insert and your drawer on both sides.
Similarly, your insert's depth will be 1/8" less than your drawer's depth, leaving 1/16" of space in the front and back, UNLESS you have hardware screws protruding at the front of your drawer. In that case, the insert's depth will be 1/4" less than the drawer's depth, leaving 1/16" in the back and 3/16" of space in the front.
Your custom insert will be made up of 1/2" thick fixed walls and 1/4" thick dividers, which can be either movable or targeted to a single location. The fixed walls create sections within the insert. Typically, the sections are subdivided into compartments by movable dividers.
Targeted Dividers
Targeted Dividers are for when adjustability is not wanted or needed, or for when you need for the dividers to be positioned in specific, or "targeted", locations (as was the case with the glassware insert below.)
We currently have over 60 unique templates available.
... And more! You will see all elegible templates as you design your insert.
"What if none of these templates will work for me?"
You are welcome to come up with your own design. Don't forget to take into account the 1/2" thick walls!
The dimensions of the sections listed on this page should be considered minimum dimensions. The actual dimensions may be slightly larger, though it is rare to see one more than a quarter inch above what is listed.
One design feature to avoid
You need to avoid putting 'crosses' into your template, like in the image below.
Although these templates have a pleasing symmetry, we will reject this design because the "4-way intersection" joint is weaker than a normal "T" type joint.
Movable Dividers
These dividers are movable and removable. By moving the dividers, you can "tailor-size" the width of your compartments.
Scooped Dividers
For 2.5"+ tall organizers, you may opt for scooped dividers. Scooped dividers make items in tall, narrow compartments more accessible to the hand. The charge is $9.54 more than the price of a regular divider of the same length.
Use the plus and minus buttons to set the number of dividers you want in each section
