QuikTRAY Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I buy hook dowels or machine screws separately?

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.

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?

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
