Helping you be more successful one tip at a time
Well maybe this doesn’t have the capabilities of a CNC, but it’s an easy way to do “selective drilling.”
Use it on site or in the field.
Watch Brian Way show us how –
Another time saver from Fastcap!!
If you need more info contact your local Fastcap distributor or you can leave your questions below…
I’m happy to help!
Before you show up my front lawn with pitchforks and torches allow me to explain….
Think about the last laundry room that you did…
How deep were the verticals? I’m guessing at least 20 inches.
How much space did you allow for the hamper?
Again, I’m guessing, but it’s usually a 24” wide section for a “large double hamper”
Here’s the problem – that 24” wide x 20” deep large double hamper doesn’t exist. (If I’m wrong, please let me know)
The 20” deep hampers are all 15” wide. Click to see Rev-A-Shelf’s hamper collection.
If it’s too late to change the design, customer already signed off on and the raised panel doors are ordered…
What is your solution?
Do you install the 14” deep double hampers that you use in your closets?
Do you buy a deeper hamper and center it on the shelf, wasting almost 10 inches?
Do you make something custom?
I am constantly being asked this question and before I tell you what I usually suggest, I would love to hear what the pros do.

I’m here all week looking for the latest and greatest in hardware…
Instead of me guessing what you need – I thought I would ask –
What are your customers asking for?
What new finishes keep coming up?
What type of hardware will make your installations easier?
What are you having a problem getting?
What is on your wish list??
In the comments below tell me how I can help…
I’m happy to be your personal shopper… 🙂
Gone are the days of summerflame and candlelite being one of your most popular colors…
Many of you are offering textured melamine and coming up with Fastcaps that are even a close match is difficult.
Fastcap now stocks white, milk and dark chocolate caps.
Looking for something different you can always use their whole punch kit – Or –
Fastcap has a program – you send them your edgebanding and they will make caps using your banding.
This is a great way to get exact matches for you new textured colors.
Contact your local Fastcap distributor to for more information or email me at richdemarco@optonline.net
I’m happy to help!
I’m guessing you can use pocket screws or some other form of carpentry magic…
Don’t have a pocket screw machine? Not a magician?
“Kolbe Korners” by Fastcap make it easy.
Kolbe Korners are metal or plastic L-brackets that are installed above a drawer slide.
They feature slotted screw holes on both legs of the L-bracket to allow for easy leveling.
The metal Korners come in two sizes and are either tan, white or aluminum.
The plastic Korners are available in black, clear maple, light maple and white.
Both include matching Fastcaps to hide the screws.
Sold in a 50 pack or a 500 pack.
If you install drawers with glass fronts try Kolbe Korners it will make your job a little easier…
Have you used Kolbe Korners before?
Are there any other Fastcap products that have changed the way that you do things?
If you need more information please feel free to contact me at richdemarco@optonline.net.
