Hi, thanks for the great video! Question....when you were showing the kidneyshaped lazysusan, the v-shaped cabinet door had a center hinge that allowed the door to open out much wider than the one I have. Having trouble finding this hinge on homedepot. What is it calle? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
My cabinet doors are attached, so I would need the pie-shaped lazy susans. However! My cabinet is rounded on the inside. Meaning, my counters are off and the back of the cabinet is covered with a rounded piece of backing material (flexible wood-like material). There are no corners in my cabinets. Would the measuring process be the same as for a typical pie-shaped lazy Susan insert? The shelves in my unit are currently plastic and cracking from the weight of stuff stored inside, making these cabinets sort of not so user friendly. I am looking to remove the plastic shelves and insert heavier metal ones to hold an appropriate amount of items. MANY THANKS!!!
Yes, if the cabinet is rounded on the inside, try and measure the existing susan hardware or at least the round internal dimension from one side to the other like a plus sign and then
I measured for a corner cabinet, unfortunately, it had a layer at the back, making it not large enough for the lazy Susan I bought. For persons who are very un-carpenter, it might be worth suggesting a 3rd measurement from the back, or verifying whether there is a back wall in the corner cabinet. Thanks.
Is there really any negatives to getting a lazy susan bigger than the inside of your cabinet? I got a D lazy susan, it’s 20” however it sticks out beyond the edge of inside of my cabinet but not enough that the door doesn’t close when the d flat side is parallel to the cabinet door. I know I messed up when measuring but the 18” seemed to waste so much extra room.
I follow your instructions and the measure was 33 inches. I ordered a 32 inches and it does not fit at all. So the way you show how to measure is not right or not clear.
thank you for the explanation , very simple and direct
Glad you liked it

This hinge allows you to open the door much further - www.woodworkerexpress.com/blum-170deg-clip-top-hinge-full-overlay-screw-on.html

You can measure the current shelves and just replace with the same size of the circle
What if the cabinet is rounded on the inside, not straight? do i measure at the widest point? Thanks!
Yes, if the cabinet is rounded on the inside, try and measure the existing susan hardware or at least the round internal dimension from one side to the other like a plus sign and then
Where can I order the nice old lazy susan pie cut in your video?
Hi! You can purchase the pie cut susan here- www.woodworkerexpress.com/Lazy-Susans-Pie-Cut-Shaped/

As long as it fits and the door closes then you are good to go!
What if the interior height of your cabinet is 36 inches?
You can add some spacer material to bring it down to the recommended height

I believe you are suppose to subtract 2" then order the next size available below that measurement
