I am planning a large self standing pantry for the BOSS. I want to use roll out shelves and the pantry is a face frame cabinet. I want to use a 32 mm system to make the shelves adjustable to any height. The eruo drawer slides will need to have standoffs or spacers to make them work. I have seen this on some pantry's that I looked at but could not find the name of the hardware. Does anyone know what the name is for this piece or who makes it. I see that Rockler has a kit but that does not use the 32 mm hole system.
 
Rip a 2x of correct species to the dimension from the inside edge of the face frame to the inside of the cabinet wall. For 2'' face this would be 1 1/4 + or -.  It should be the height of the total opening. You will need 4 or 6 depending how strong you want it, 2 or 3 for each side. 1 front one back one middle. Put your holes in these and glue and screw to the inside of the cabinet wall. Watch out on the hinge side that your rollouts clear the door hinges, if you have the clipon hinges you may have to come out past the inside edge of the face frame or else just not be able to put a rollout there. I put my lower hinges high enough to clear the bottom shelf, the top hinge probably don't matter so the only one you have to worry about is the middle one. You could also shim out a piece of 1/2 plywood to the same place and put your holes in it. I have used white plastic  factory made standards for this but found it faster and cheaper to just rip the mat'l. Hope this makes sense.   
 
Wow, I am also building a pantry cabinet in my new kitchen, and was wrestling with this very idea.  I never thought to place a "filler strip" vertically as opposed to horizontally.  And to drill system holes in the filler strip is a great idea.  Thanks for this.

On my face frame pantry I drilled the 32mm shelf holes.  Then cut little spacers to offset the glides.  Works okay.

There is a pretty cool plastic pilaster system for face frame cabinetry if you want an off the shelf solution.

This is the same system I have used. It works well but you have to build the cabinet to fit the pilasters. I found it cheaper and faster to just cut he wood pieces. 
 
First time poster here. I have learned so much from everybody here. I made my pantry as a euro box that came to the inside edge of the face frame. That way I could use the system holes for drawers or slides. I built a "fancy" side for the end cabinet face and 45 it to the face frame so it doesn't look like an applied side panel. I used dominos for alignment and pocket screws under the stretchers. It's heavy, 8 ft tall and is holding up great.

Welcome to the FOG!  Glad you aren't a lurker anymore.
