Cabinet Interior Height: Find the interior height of the cabinet you are ordering

Components and Media Height Required: Find the height required for each of the components and media you plan to file or store in your Marcadet Cabinet. For example, the MS48 shelf, with color coded end-tab files, requires a height of 11" (1" for the shelf, 9 1/2" for the file folders, and 1/2" clearance under the shelf above). Add up the height requirements to be sure you don't exceed the interior dimension of the cabinet.

Cabinet Capacity: Use (or printout the above worksheet) and add up the height required for each of the components and media you need for your cabinet. Then make sure the total component and media height does not exceed the cabinet's interior height. Use the above drawing of the cabinet shell to sketch in your components.

Built-In Bottom Shelf: All cabinet come with a built-in bottom shelf.

Roll-out Configuration:

• Multiple roll-outs: if two or more roll-outs will be used in a cabinet, you must order the cabinet with interlock (L-suffix). This prevents more than one drawer opening at a time. Multiple roll-outs must be installed in fixed positions.
• roll-out frames: 10" apart (limited to 5 roll-out frames in 83"/62"H cabinets)
• roll-out drawers: 5" apart (limited to 10 roll-out frames in 83"/62"H cabinets)

These dimensions are measured from the bottom of the cabinet, and determined by special slots for interlock pins positioned 5" apart up the center of the left inside end panel.

• Single roll-out: if there is only one roll-out in a cabinet, it can be located anywhere.

The Final Step: It's normal to have a little space left over when configuring a cabinet. If this is the case, you can still install components a little farther apart than required (except multiple roll-outs, which have fixed positions), or sometimes add a shelf and use the extra space for storage.
