It'll be a waste of time. The sponges and other items are kept in a white box that is exactly 15 inches long. Each hinge has a 1 inch wide hinge piece that screws into the wood front plate. The good news is that you won't be missing out on much. To get these hinges to work properly, I had to bend them, file some rough edges, and lubricate them. Since I did all of that, they've been great.
The company's headquarters are located on 43rd Street in New York City.
Because the hinges are mounted on the inside of the cavity covered by the panel, you should be able to use them on a nine-inch panel. The trick, I believe, will be to position the hinge in the best possible position to reduce the amount of pressure applied to it when opening and closing so that the hinges do not wear out over time.

This is a poor product. I put two of these in a bathroom vanity and was disappointed with how well they worked. They don't open and close smoothly. When compared to other options, they're on the lower end of the price spectrum. In this case, I believe you get what you pay for, and I regret not spending more to get a better drawer front drop down. Operating hinges that are extremely cheap and stick. Before you buy these, give it some thought.
There are no directions, as there are in other reviews. This was not a significant issue for me, but I'm sure it will be for many others. I thought I had done something wrong with the installation because the right hinge wouldn't work properly (it kept binding up). What's wrong is that the quality is poor, and it's really poor. I'm not sure why you didn't return it if it was so bad. I didn't return it because I'd already installed it, which meant I'd drilled holes and lubricated it. I removed the right hinge, bent it so it wouldn't bind, and lubricated it. Everything appears to be in working order at this time.
I chose these two over any other style because I prefer the plastic tray shape to the other styles we've had before. br>br>Because this isn't the first time we've installed these, I didn't think not having a template or instructions would be an issue. I had made a colossal mistake. On the plus side, I like that these don't slam shut like the ones from the home center do, and I'm looking forward to cleaning the trays more easily than the ones I have elsewhere in the house.
I installed tip out hinges on my own kitchen sink a few years ago and they worked perfectly. I went looking for something similar because I couldn't remember where I had bought that set. They appeared to do the job and were less expensive than the well-known brand; however, I got what I paid for, and in that sense, I am paying for what I received. In terms of appearance and feel, the hinges are of very poor quality. They didn't come with any instructions or templates, and they were a pain to put together. At least two hours were spent on this. It took 5 hours to complete a task that should have taken less time. While one side of the drawer was attached with a hinge during installation, the other side of the drawer fell down a few inches. The hinge had become twisted. A higher-quality material would be less prone to bending. The trays themselves are in good condition.
The item was exactly as described by the seller, but it took a little longer than expected to install. It would have been very helpful if there were clear installation instructions.
It did not come with instructions, but they were easy to find by googling for directions, as others have stated. It went in without a hitch, and I'm very pleased with the price and tray!.
Because our home is a rental, I didn't want to invest in something we wouldn't be able to take with us if we moved. This worked, but there were no instructions, so my husband had to adjust it twice, and it still nearly snaps my fingers off when it closes quickly. br>br>I wouldn't buy it again.
Even when fully opened, the hinges only open a fraction of an inch and tend to pop shut. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I'd choose a different design.
