KISS II Advantages
Easy to layout different configurations of doors and drawers
Produce cabinets with minimal reveal at the top and bottom
Easy to produce cabinets of nearly any height
Unhanded end panels eliminate possible errors in assembly
Unhanded doors can be drilled with pre-set machine stops
System can be used with all types of drawer construction
System works with all types of drawer slides and systems
Liked size drawers all interchange regardless of position
Simple enough that everyone in the shop can understand

Cabinet Heights
A chart of cabinet heights is provided in the KISSII booklet
By Joel Ketner
Drilling starts 35mm from either end
of the cabinet side wall

Door & Drawer Front Heights
multiple of 32mm (minus 3mm) to produce 3mm reveals
By Joel Ketner
Cabinet Increments
The important column is the Increments column. This allows
cabinets to be laid out using whole numbers rather than fractions
Increments are multiples of 32mm (plus 6mm once)
This means that because we are producing unhanded cabinets,
our drilling will start at 35mm from either end of the end panel

Cabinet Configurations
Easy to layout different
configurations of doors and drawers
By Joel Ketner
Examples
We always want to work in Increments – these are the number of 32mm
spaces that we have to work with when picking our doors and drawer fronts
For our examples we will use a 24 Increment cabinet height
I like to use the 24 increment cabinet because the 30-1/2” size produces
a 36” height counter surface with a 4” toe kick and 1-1/2” counter top
By Joel Ketner
Use whole numbers to design
cabinets
Here are examples of drawer fronts and doors for a 24 increment cabinet
Here are examples of drawer fronts for 3 drawer cabinet

What they would look like
These cabinets have a 5 increment (6-3/16”) top drawer

(note some brands may drill differently)
Drawer backs drill at 37.5mm x 12mm
12mm
Drawer Back
37.5mm
Drawer fronts drill at 25.5mm x Overlay + 9mm

Locating Metal Drawer Cabinet Members
KISS II booklet has an easy formula to determine which holes to
mount metal drawer cabinet members into before assembling cabinet

Unhanded Doors
Doors drill on pre-set machines tops set to 78.5mm from either end of the door
78.5mm
78.5mm
By Joel Ketner
Unhanded end panels and doors produce equal reveal top and bottom
4.5mm reveal
3mm reveal
4.5mm reveal

Building wood drawers
Kiss II Booklet has a chart for sizing of drawer side
heights, works with all types of drawer slides including
bottom mount epoxy slides with in line rollers
