Pull out trash question please and pics if possible.
Comments (6)The link below is for a KV full-extension, soft-close, 100-lb rating set for $17.03. They also have full-extension slides without soft-close for as little as just under $6/pair. The better ones are $11.64/set. I just noticed that on the link, it says these are 90 lb, but in the catalog I have it says 100 lb. Maybe worth a phone call to see which is correct.

Comments (8)We retrofitted two pullouts in two cabs for recycling. The kitchen has all rollouts behind doors. *Definitely* get the door attached, however you do it, as opening the door then pulling out the bins while you have sometimes goopy nasty trash in your hands is a drag (we had that setup in a previous house). In one our current pullouts, we used the Revashelf two 35qt full extension pullout and door attachment that we bought at Lowes for nowhere near $375. However they are the chrome not stainless steel which may make a difference to you. The door mount kit is shown in the link below for $17.97. The 35qt full extension dual bin pullout is $80. $100 total (plus tax, wherever you are). In the other pullout, we used the existing rollout shelf and DH did a homemade door attachment. DH says that the Revashelf was far easier to do even though he had to add a small piece of luan to the door since it has a recessed panel. Since these were retrofits, we left the hinges on so that when the doors are closed, you can't even tell that they're pullouts. I love ''secret agent'' kitchens!

Comments (9)Mooring - good points about changing it to a two-bin later if I need to. My own personal reasoning behind the stinky issue is that, with a stand alone can, there is always a lid. In a pull-out, there is no lid, so it would *seem* that the smell would end up inside the cabinet and impregnate adjacent cabinets. I'm not saying this is accurate, just my own mind wandering sense of it. My own needs are that we seem to have a lot of garbage, and we do have a fair amount of CANS. Beer, pop, etc. I think I'll stick with the one can pull-out and shoot for putting a can bin under my sink for now. Of course, maybe the reason my garbage is so stinky is because it holds so much it has a change to smell a lot. In this case, two smaller cans would be better, and we'd have to change them more often, thus reducing the smell. BUT... garbage bags do cost money, so do I want to be buying twice the garbage bags? (I'm sure they'll be skyrocketing since there is plastic involved and oil prices, of course, must affect plastic prices)...See MoreCan you use a pedal with a pull-out trash can?
Comments (8)My cabinet guy had never installed one, so I was there the day he and his helper were putting this together. For mine, there is a spring in the back that moves when the foot pedal is pressed. Depending on where they screwed in the end of the spring and how taut it was dramatically changed the force of the cabinet opening. We fiddled with about 4 placements before they got it where I wanted. My cabinet has two trash cans and at first it opened with enough force to show the back trash which is for recycling. They changed the placement of the spring so it just opens enough for the first trash can to appear. We really love this feature of the new kitchen and has been working great for 2 years now....See Morebadgergal
