QuikTRAY Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I buy hook dowels or machine screws separately?
A: Yes, your Distributor stocks all three types of hook dowels

Q: Can I cut the 20" long QuikTRAY pilasters?
A: Yes, but please make sure tht you have left and right sides with matching hole patterns.

Q: Can I use QuikTRAY in a sink base cabinet with plumbing in the back of the cabinet?
A: Yes, we recommend the T-531 short (4") pilaster. Consider building your roll-out tray to full width but shorter in depth determined by the actual plumbing in the back of the cabinet.

Q: I am using ball bearing full extension slides and found the thread length of the hook dowel screw to be too short.
A: Your most likely using the small holes (4mm dia., one each at the front and back). These holes are NOT made for flat head screws. PLEASE USE THE LARGER HOLES IN THE TABS DESIGNED FOR EURO SCREWS AND/OR FLAT HEAD SCREWS.

Q: I am using QuikTRAY Hook Dowels. Which way should they point?
A: Hook Dowels must be attached to the slide of your choice with the hook pointing up.

Q: I drill my side panels on a CNC (point-to-point) machine. Can I pre-drill for QuikTRAY?
A: Yes, QuikTRAY provides 4 hole locations 160mm on center. Fasten the Pilaster to the end panel with Euroscrews at least 11mm long. The Euroscrews should have a round head.

Q: I need a total of 1 1/2" of distance between slide and side panel. What can I do?
A: Our T-507 hook dowel has a built-in spacer 1/4" thick. This will give you a total of 1 1/2" standoff. If more is needed, a wood spacer behind the Pilaster is the best solution. NEW...a 2" thick Pilaster will be available starting August 2005. Ask for item T-503

Q: I want to install QuikTRAY in a base cabinet with a fixed half shelf. What do I do?
A: Use the short (4") T-531 which will allow you to install a single roll-out on the bottom of the cabinet.

Q: I want to use a Blum Tandem Slide, do I need to use special hook dowels?
A: For best performence we recommend the use of the T-508 dowel at the front and if possible also at the back

Q: Is QuikTRAY available in longer lengths?
A: We offer 2 lengths, 4" and 20". In applications such as pantries, simply stack several pilasters on top of each other.

Q: What is the load rating of the QuikTRAY Pilaster system?
A: Tenn-Tex Plastics Inc. has tested most popular slides on the market with a 75 lbs load at 100,000 cycles. We recommend a maximum of 3 roll-outs per 20" long Pilaster, each with a maximum load of 75 lbs. In any case, pls observe the slide manufacturers published maximum load ratings.

Q: What Pilaster thicknesses are available?
A: We offer a 1", a 1 1/4" and a 2" thick version. Additionally, any pilaster thickness can be boosted by 1/4" by using the T-507 shouldered hook dowel.

Q: What type of epoxy coated side mount slide (european slide) works best with QuikTRAY?
A: We recommend a double captive type slide for best performence. You may also use a single captive slide, but need to make sure that side clearances between tray and pilaster are to slide manufacturers specs in order to avoid the non-captive side from coming out of its track.

Q: What type of slide can I use with QuikTRAY?
A: You can use any type of slide on the market. When using epoxy coated (european type) slides, please attach the front hook dowel at a maximum of 37mm from the front of the slide.

Q: Are the QuikTRAY Pilasters available in Wood?
A: Yes, a new version in top-coated Hard Maple with a Polymer Insert is available. They are interchangeable with the Polymer versions, i. e. you do not have to change the drawer sizes or the way you install the Pilasters.

Q: What colors do you have in QuikTRAY?
A: Presently we have White, Beige, Cream, Black and Metallic Gray.
