  • Width Max w/o center support

    Posted by Samantha Moe on April 20, 2026 at 2:49 pm

    Looking for storage cabinets with the maximum width without a center ‘support’ between the doors. Meaning if each cabinet door is 15″, when opening both doors, I have a ~30″ opening rather than 2- 13.5″ opening. So my question is, what is the maximum cabinet with without a center support?

    The 2 door wall cabinet is never built with a center support. If you order a 48″ wide unit, you will have a full 46.5″ wide opening behind the doors. If you prefer a center support, simply order two separate single door wall cabinets and attach them together.

    Keep in mind that cabinets over 36″ wide are considered fairly large. Shelves can begin to sag under heavier loads, even though they are made from 3/4″ plywood. They won’t fail, but some deflection is normal at wider spans.

    If this becomes a concern, you can double up the shelves by ordering extras and stacking them, or add additional support along the front edge as needed.
