EZ Gliders

Pantry solutions/home improvements in the kitchen

Converting the kitchen pantry to pull out shelves is by far the best investment you can make in the kitchen. Most pantries are narrow and deep. We price our pull outs on width, not depth.  So these pull outs are a very good buy for the money. Installation is normally not that much of a challenge, so this keeps the labor costs down.  My customers tell me that before they put in pull outs, they really only used the front of the shelf because it was simply too much work to get to the rear of the pantry. When they did venture to the back of the pantry they learned that they had things in there that they never realized they had. Most of the can goods were beyond their expiration dates. Once we install “full extension” pull outs, the back of the pull out comes within an inch or two of coming all the way out of the cabinet. Now everything is right there in front of you, in the bright of day. No bending, reaching, or restacking required. Another benefit of pull outs in a pantry is the extra space you can sometimes gain. Most people will leave four or five inches of room above the tallest items so they can reach over the top,to the rear of the pantry. You no longer need that space after you install a pull out because you no longer have to reach over anything. So if you have five shelves in your pantry and you previously were wasting five inches on each one, you now have an additional 25 inches of storage space to utilize.  View the picture below and you can see that this customer could have easily added another pull out in the lower portion of the pantry by compressing the second and third levels closer together.

Since EZ Gliders are custom made, we can make any depth that you want. I normally like to have at least one or two pull outs that are at least five inches deep. These deeper drawers are great for anything that is in a bag, like marshmallows or chips. The deeper drawers work well with taller bottles that may be tippy. The placement of the deeper drawers is very important. You need to be able to look down into the drawer to view the contents. Never place the deeper drawers higher than your chest level.
