Door Panel – Routing Requirements
If an extended handle kit is used, then routing the handle side of
the door and drawer panels is not required. See "Handle and

on ordering extended handles.
If the standard handle is used, route the entire handle side 3¹⁄₄"
(8.25 cm) to allow for finger clearance. Then route the other side
1" (2.54 cm).
