Can this be used as is? ie just installed and keeping the original swing out kitchen cabinet door?

yes. i did the same thing. after mounting the base on a made at home cabinet base i then kept the door that I had so that it would fit perfect against the caninets

Yes you can. I attached the top rail to the top of the cabinet itself flushed with the front. Trimmed the rear top rail holder and attached it to the back of the cabinet, just make sure you level it to the best of your ablity so it slides out easily. And attached the bottom to the cabinet floor set back just behind the front of the cabinet face, the door stays as is, no need to make any changes to it. I simply open the cabinet door and slide the rack out by the top edge. My wife loves it. I will try to post pics.

It could, but then you would need to install a handle of some kind on the front to pull this out, since the door is intended to be attached to the front panel.

if there is not a drawer above the door. IE the door goes the fill length of the cabinet you could take it off the hinges and mount the door to the pullout.

Yes, this unit will install behind the closed door. I just drilled a hole in a convenient place to get a finger in to pull it out.

We didn't install it inside a cabinet. We had a few inches of unused space beside the dishwasher and this was perfect as a pull out space for bottles of cleaners and a box for dish washer packets. We fronted it with a matching panel to our cabinets and a drawer pull. Looks good, works great.

I put it together some time ago for one of my rentals, I don' t remember whether or not you can change the hinge side. Sorry.

The hinge-holes are drilled on the right side, and there is a block on the upper left where the magnet is pre-mounted to hold the door closed. It would be awkward to try to mount the magnet on the opposite side. So, no, this wouldn't work well to swap the door to open right to left. As much as I like this cabinet, I'd suggest you look for a different one.

It should be fine. You might have to change the door measurements or put it in a different place.

Yes. I installed ours into an existing cabinet 10 years after the kitchen was completed.

Theoretically yes. BUT! I think that it must be screwed in to the door. Therefore you would have the ends of the screws sticking out of the front. If you can come up with an idea of putting that to use, you would be fine. Calender? Knick-Knack - one long or two separate?

Yes the door swing can be changed. The door and the inside are made of plastic. The door can be painted. I agree with Carlos that the plunger should be changed out for one that is more heavy duty.

I had to do a slight mortice however, I don't think it needs to be done by everyone. In my case I put in a new door, and changed the style of the entry set had I gone with the original entry set I don't believe I would have had to mortice.

The cabinet rests on the hinges and there is no way to change it. It is made to be used as described and would not suit your purpose. I would not recommend purchasing it with intentions of returning it if it didn't work out. The special packaging would be a big challenge and not worth the effort.

It should not be a problem. In fact, I kept the existing plate from my old deadbolt in the door jamb and the new deadbolt fit fine.

Yes. You'd probably have to use different screws than the ones it comes with (since they are fairly long - they would probably go through the cabinet door).

We installed on a door that swings inside. Not sure why you would need to install outside.

I don't see why not because my door frame is metal over sheet rock (I live in an apartment), which is my outside door, and it worked fine. The only thing, once you put the screw in, don't unscrew it. I did that to try n straighten it up then the threads were no good. Had to move whole mechanism to another spot. I really love it, tho. Mine was to keep maintenance people for entering whenever they felt like it. Hope this helps.

No, I'm sorry. It doesn't look like it. The door has the holes with a rubber plug in them, but the cabinet would have to be drilled and you would be left with holes on the right. Also there is a wire running through the hinge that would have to be dealt with. Too bad. Great unit!

I am not a cabinet guy, just a general contractor who used these for my own house but I don't see how these could be used that way. You should contact the seller and see what he thinks.

I'm not exactly sure what you're set-up is based on your description, but if the back of the cabinet is open, then this would work but you may need to make some kind of custom bracket. The plastic brackets that the kit comes with work just fine, but they only fit a specific-sized opening.

Sorry, I sold the piece on which I used them, but cabinet screws are a standard size (these were standard) so you should be OK. If the screws are too wide, just drill a slightly larger hole. If they are too small, the knob itself will cover the hole on the front, use a washer on the back if needed (unlikely) and make sure the knobs are screwed down nice and snug. Length is more what you have to be concerned about because of the variability of the drawer/cabinet thickness. But that's a problem that can be easily solved by buying longer (or shorter) screws. Most knobs come with longer screws that "snap" off these days. Can't remember what came with these.
