Kidney Shaped Lazy Susan Installation Information

Kidney Shaped Lazy Susans are made for L-shaped (easy-reach) corner cabinets that are in the corner of the kitchen. These cabinets have doors that are attached together in the middle, but are not attached to the shelf itself.

These are independently rotating shelves.

CabinetParts.com offers several diameters including 18", 24", 28", and 32" (depending on style).

Measuring:

As a general rule, you want to have about 1" - 2" clearance all the way around the shelf. You will want to measure the inside dimension of your cabinet where the shelf will install to see if you have this clearance. For this type of shelf, measuring the shelf will work, but so will measuring the cabinet. A 36" or 39" corner cabinet (measured at the back of the cabinet) would generally use the 32" shelf. A 33" corner cabinet would generally use the 28" shelf. The 18" and 24" would generally be used in corner wall cabinets; you can measure the cabinet or shelf space available to determine which will work for you. Lazy Susan shelves also have minimum and maximum inside cabinet height dimensions. Measure from the inside bottom of the cabinet to the inside top of the cabinet. CabinetParts.com lists the height allowances for each on the series page.

CabinetParts.com has the spec sheets for many of the styles that can be downloaded that will have all of the required allowances and measurements you would need to check before ordering. Once you have downloaded this sheet and perhaps even printed it out, you can take it to your cabinet and double-check all of your measurements against what is minimally required.

Installing:

Templates and instructions are provided on each of product's details page.
