The formula

inside: width − 2 × clearance, drop = height outside: width + 2 × overlap, drop = height + 2 × overlap

Some suppliers make the inside deduction for you, so check before taking it off.

What to watch out for

Check whether your supplier wants the recess size or the blind size.

Frequently Asked Questions
