Setup/Spacer Shims

Setup And Spacer Shims For Consistent Gaps

Setup and Spacer Shims take the guesswork out of installing drawers and doors by giving you fixed, known thicknesses to work with, so you can set gaps and reveals without chasing tiny tape-measure readings on each cabinet. This Kreg Tool shim set is designed to create consistent spacing, so drawer fronts and doors line up evenly from cabinet to cabinet whether you are building new, renovating, or repairing existing work. Seven shims in four thicknesses let you match common gap sizes, so you can hit your layout dimensions while focusing on hinge and slide positioning. The shims make on-the-fly adjustments simple, so you can respond to real-world conditions during install instead of recalculating measurements at every opening.

Stackable Shim Details That Speed Install Work

• This set of seven shims in four thicknesses gives you defined spacing options, so you can match common reveals and repeat them cabinet after cabinet without remeasuring each time.
• Two 3/32 inch shims give you a thin reference for inset drawers, so you can establish a controlled reveal around the front instead of relying on trial-and-error fitting.
• Two 1/8 inch shims provide a straightforward way to set slightly larger gaps, so you can align doors and drawers where a bit more clearance is needed for function.
• Two 1/4 inch shims create wider separation when required, so you can space components or fixtures where a larger, even offset is part of the design layout.
• One 3/4 inch shim gives you a substantial setup block, so you can reference thicker parts or stack it with the thinner shims to build up exact working heights.
• Magnetic, stackable construction lets the shims connect together, so you can build custom thicknesses from the four sizes instead of hunting for different loose spacers.

Magnetic Stackable Shims For Faster Setup

The stackable design of these Setup and Spacer Shims lets you combine individual pieces to reach a specific thickness, so you can match your planned gap or working height instead of relying on improvised spacers. Magnets hold the shims together as you stack them, so the assembled block stays aligned while you position drawer fronts or doors. By using defined sizes of 3/32 inch, 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch, and 3/4 inch, you can build up many spacing options from this single KCS-SHIMS set, which supports consistent installation practices across new construction, renovation, or repair work.

Using Kreg Setup Spacer Shims In Real Projects

Where These Shims Support Drawer And Door Work

The Setup and Spacer Shims are designed for installing drawers and doors, so they fit naturally into cabinet, furniture, and built-in projects that call for clean, repeatable reveals. When setting inset drawers, the two 3/32 inch shims act as a defined reference, so you can hold the front in position with the correct reveal around all sides. The 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch shims support applications where slightly larger or more forgiving gaps are needed, so overlay doors and drawer fronts can swing or slide freely while still lining up visually. The 3/4 inch shim functions as a thicker block for spacing parts off a surface, so you can support heavier fronts or align components relative to a face frame or carcass edge. Because the shims are useful beyond mounting drawer fronts, they also assist in other layout tasks where repeatable spacing matters in a woodworking or shop environment.

Why Magnetic, Stackable Design Improves Results

The magnetic, stackable construction of these Kreg Tool shims lets you build a single solid spacer from multiple pieces, so you can match non-standard reveals or work heights on site without cutting custom blocks. Each of the four thicknesses - 3/32 inch, 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch, and 3/4 inch - contributes to a range of combinations, so one compact KCS-SHIMS set handles many spacing requirements. Magnets help keep the stacked shims from shifting as you slide them under a drawer front or between a door and cabinet, so the gap you set remains consistent while you fasten hardware. Because the shims work for a variety of projects beyond mounting drawer fronts, a single setup can move from cabinet installation to general shop spacing tasks, supporting a smoother workflow across new builds, renovations, and repairs.
