Retrofitting Behind Existing Hinged Doors
Can I install this behind an existing hinged cabinet door?
Yes, this model is specifically designed for standard hinged-door cabinets. Because it is the "No Door Mounting" version, you do not need to attach your cabinetry door to the bin frame. You simply open your cupboard door as normal, and then manually pull the bin unit out using its integrated handle. It is the perfect retrofit solution.
Ease Of Installation For Non-Tradies
Is it difficult to install if I'm not a tradie?
Base-mounted bins are generally the easiest systems to install. You simply place the frame inside the cabinet, line it up so the front clears your door hinges, and drive four to six wood screws straight down through the runner brackets into the base of your cabinet. You don't have to worry about complicated door-alignment brackets.
Preventing Runners From Breaking With Heavy Glass Bins
Will the runners break if the bins are full of heavy glass?
The system uses heavy-duty, ball-bearing runners designed to handle the dynamic load of dense waste (like wet food scraps or glass bottles). Because the weight is supported directly by the base of the cabinet rather than hanging off the side walls, it is an incredibly stable and robust design that won't sag over time.
Benefits Of No Door Mounting Pull-Out Bins
Why choose 'No Door Mounting' instead of a door-pull bin?
A "No Door Mounting" bin is ideal if you are retrofitting an existing kitchen and don't want the hassle of removing your door hinges and aligning brackets. It also prevents heavy, constant strain on your cabinet door. While a door-pull is one fluid motion, this two-step process (open door, pull bin) is often preferred for its bulletproof reliability and ease of installation.
Preventing Food Odours From Escaping Pull-Out Bins
Does it stop food smells from escaping?
When you push the bin unit closed, the individual buckets slide snugly underneath the fixed internal cover. While it isn't hermetically sealed, this creates a highly effective baffle that traps standard kitchen odours inside the bin, stopping them from wafting through your kitchen or attracting pests.
