HOW TO MEASURE FOR CABINET GLASS INSERTS

Getting the correct measurements is the most important thing you must do to order our glass inserts. Provide the following three measurements below so I can check for accuracy. Round down all measurements to the nearest sixteenth of an inch. Example - change a measurements of 12 11/32" to 12 5/16".


 
Tight Size Measurement from back of frame
back of frame

This measurement tells me what the maximum area that the insert will fit into. From the back side of your frame carefully measure the maximum width and the maximum height of the area that the insert will fit into.

Deduction

This measurement tells me that you have made the insert size smaller than your frame. Your insert must be made smaller than the Tight Size Measurement above in order for it to fit your frame properly. Deduct a total of 1/8" from the width shown above and a total of 1/8" from the height shown above. By making this deduction you will have a 1/16" allowance on all four sides. Example - If the tight size measurement is 14" x 24", after deducting 1/8" in width and height your final insert size to order would be 13 7/8" x 23 7/8".

Light Size Measurement from front of frame

This measurement will give me the size of the lip (rabit) so I know how much of the insert goes under the moulding. Carefully measure the width and height of the visual area you can see through from the front of the frame.
