True Residential Refrigerator Drawers

True Residential Refrigerator Drawers at Plesser's Appliances

True Residential refrigerator drawers, available at Plesser's Appliances, replace the swing door with a pull-out drawer front, making refrigerated storage practical in an island, prep zone, or any location where a hinged door would obstruct traffic. Hand-built in St. Louis, Missouri, each unit combines commercial-grade refrigeration with made-to-order colors and hardware for flush integration into cabinetry.

Drawer Access Instead of a Swing Door
A drawer front eliminates door swing entirely, which is what makes refrigeration workable in an island or a narrow galley where a hinged door would block a walkway. Access is from above rather than the front, so contents are visible at a glance instead of stacked behind one another. In a working prep zone, that changes how usable the storage actually is.

Refrigeration at the Point of Prep
Drawers put produce, dairy, or beverages directly at the workstation rather than across the kitchen, which is the practical case for adding them to an island. They also work as secondary storage for specific categories — drinks for the household, prep items for cooking — so the main refrigerator stays organized. Zone configuration varies by model.

Forced-Air Cooling with Fast Recovery
True's forced-air system circulates high-velocity air throughout the cabinet to hold a steady setpoint and recover quickly after a drawer is opened. Because a drawer exposes more of its contents to ambient air on every pull than a door does, recovery speed matters more here than in a conventional unit. Temperature holds through repeated access.

Heavy-Duty Drawer Construction
Refrigerator drawers carry weight a shelf does not, and the mechanism is built accordingly with full-extension slides rated for a fully loaded compartment. The drawer pulls out completely, so the back of the cabinet stays usable rather than dead space. Confirm drawer count and interior configuration against the spec sheet for your model.

Integration and Installation Planning
Front-grille venting allows drawers to install flush under a counter with finished panels on either side, and panel-ready configurations are available on select models. Installation requires a framed opening and a dedicated circuit. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout dimensions and panel requirements before cabinetry is built — drawer units are difficult to retrofit into a finished island.
