FILLERS AND THEIR USE


• Where to use fillers:
o Fillers are typically required when fitting cabinets against a side wall. Fillers allow for out of plumb
walls and proper clearances so door or drawer opening is not hindered.
o Fillers are trimmed to fit on the job site. Standard filler width is 3”, and different heights are available
depending upon the cabinet height they are being fitted next to.
o Fillers are not needed between adjacent cabinets, even diagonal corner cabinets. 200 door hinges
are engineered to allow full door swing without interfering with the adjacent doors. There may be
design situations however where a filler is needed to provide proper alignment with another object.
• AMERICAN CUSTOM CABINETS 200 offers three types of fillers depending upon the design requirements.
o Standard fillers – These are finished on face and all edges, and are usually installed flush with the
box edge.
o Door face fillers – These are two components- a backer filler and a plant on filler that will have same
edge profiles as the door. DFF’s are designed to install flush with the door face.
o Molded filler – These are an ‘L’ shaped universal filler with 3” and 1 ½” legs, and are designed to
install flush with the door face. They are trimmable. MF’s come inspecific lengths like standard
fillers. Molded fillers are also used for light valance and molding mount.
