How to Order Lista Drawer Partitions and Dividers for Custom Drawer Interiors
These are the basic steps required for ordering custom drawer partitions and dividers from Lista.
The Lista Drawer Subdivision System
Lista drawers are subdivided using 2 basic accessories: partitions, which divide the drawer into rows, and dividers, which define compartments within those rows.
The part designations for ordering partitions or dividers have 3 components:
- A letter or letters prefix indicating the part. “P” is for slotted drawer partitions, “LP” is for plain drawer partitions, and “D” is for drawer dividers.
- A number indicating the drawer model (height) number, and therefore the height of the partition or divider.
- A number indicating the length of the partition or divider in slots/units.
Drawer slot/unit dimensions are as follows:
The examples to the right use an HS Width shallow depth cabinet drawer (40 1⁄4” wide) which has 54 slots/units side to side and 27 slots/units front to back.
Easy-Order Drawer Interior Sets:
Preconfigured drawer interior sets for many popular drawer layouts are available for all sizes of Lista drawers:
Partitions and Dividers
Slotted Drawer Partitions
These slotted steel sheet partitions are the basic drawer dividers. They divide drawers into small or large compartments by length and/or width. Partition ends slide easily into drawer sidewall slots and can be bolted to the perforated drawer bottom.
Partitions are slotted at 21⁄32” intervals to match the drawer sidewalls and should be ordered to match particular drawer heights, widths and depths.
Color: grey
Plain Drawer Partitions
For use when drawers will not be subdivided using dividers. These non-slotted steel sheet partitions divide drawers into larger compartments either by length or width.
Bottom strips can be bolted to the perforated drawer bottom for additional stability, and the ends slide into slots in drawer sidewalls or slotted drawer partitions. Plain partitions should be ordered to match drawer sidewall height.
