All models require an accessory option to attach custom

800-444-1230.
NOTE: A customer-supplied full front custom panel must
weigh no more than 16 pounds (7.3 kg) and must be made
to specific dimensions. It is recommended that a
cabinetmaker cut the custom panel because of the precise
dimensions needed.
NOTE: All mounting hardware supplied is for a 3/4"
(19.1 mm) thick wood panel. If a thinner wood panel, or
materials other than wood are used, it is the consumer's
responsibility to obtain the proper length screws and adjust
the pilot holes accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Use a moisture resistant sealer on both sides
and all edges of the panel to protect it from humidity.
