How to retrofit Kaboodle 35L base mount laundry hamper into existing cabinet?

Sandra Gardner

Hi there, does anyone know if I can retrofit the Kaboodle Laundry hamper into an existing 450mm wide cupboard with a side door.

According to the specs it says 450mm min- tick

Do I need anything specific in terms of sliders?

Will the door hinges interfere somehow?

Thanks

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Sandra Gardner . It's a pleasure to have you join us and many thanks for your question on hamper installation.

Yes, you can retrofit the Kaboodle 2 x 35L laundry hamper into an existing 450 mm cabinet as long as the internal space is sufficient, not just the external width. The unit already comes with its own soft-close runners, so you don’t need to buy sliders separately. If you take a look at the instructions provided, you’ll see the sliding system is offset to the opposite side of the hinge, which allows it to bypass them. As long as it’s a standard 450 mm cabinet with around 420 mm of internal space, there should be plenty of room to install it in your cabinet. The main thing to watch out for is the door opening. If it doesn’t open to at least 90 degrees, the hamper may touch the door as it slides out.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
