Measure the Length

Measure the inside length from front to back:

Place your tape measure from the back-most inside wall to the front-most
Account for any screws or hardware that protrude into the drawer space
Subtract 1/8 inch (or 3 mm) for clearance

Important: If there are obstructions (like screws) that reduce usable space, subtract that from your measurement.

Measure the Height

Measure the inside height from bottom to top:

Measure from the floor of your drawer to the top of a wall

Pro Tip: In some cases, you might not want your organizer to be the full height of your drawer. Lower divider walls can allow easier access to items in your drawer.

Why You Subtract 1/8th inch (or 3mm)

Subtract 1/8th inch (or 3mm) from your drawer's width and length so your organizer can properly fit. If you use the exact drawer measurements, the organizer is likely to be too tight because drawers are imperfect.

Exact drawer measurements often result in an organizer that won't fit.
