5 Problems Solved
by Powered Pull Out Cabinet Organizers

Pull out cabinet organizers are the backbone of a well-organized modern home, maximizing storage and keeping everything within reach. And while powering your pull out organizers with Docking Drawer is guaranteed to improve the function and overall organization of any space, there are other unique challenges that can be solved by adding strategically placed in-drawer power.

Here are five real customer stories showing how Docking Drawer outlets solved unique problems while simultaneously elevating home organization.

1. Melissa’s Dedicated Kitchen Charging Station

Problem: Melissa’s small kitchen was overrun with devices and chargers, resulting in a mess of cords and tech clutter taking over her countertops.

“The clutter on my kitchen counters was starting to drive me crazy, and I knew that I needed a solution for the pile of devices that were always charging. I wanted to try one of those in-drawer outlets that you can use to charge your devices safely inside your drawer. The docking drawer blade duo was really easy to install, and now all of my cables and chargers will be able to live happily inside my drawer where I do not have to see them. There's also a built-in thermostat, so I don't have to worry about anything overheating when I'm not in the room. Now I can grab my laptop every morning for work, and it's perfectly charged, and I have clean counters.”

Solution: Melissa added a Docking Drawer Blade Duo (1514-238) outlet to power her kitchen pull out cabinet organizer, instantly transforming it into a hidden charging station. With all devices charging safely out of sight, her countertops are clutter-free, and her kitchen is more functional than ever.

2. Norah’s Screen Time Management Solution

Problem: Norah’s home was filled with chargers and devices scattered across various rooms—until she upgraded her pull out cabinet organizers.

“We wanted a central place to keep all electronics, charged, and ready for use. We also wanted a way to manage our kids' access to screens. In the past, they could find a random device plugged in somewhere and walk off with it before we noticed.”

Solution: During a kitchen renovation, Norah installed two Docking Drawer Blade outlets into side-by-side pull out cabinet organizers. This created a centralized charging area, keeping all family devices organized and charged while remaining more visible in order to better monitor kids’ screen time. The result?

“I am so happy! Not only do we have a place to store and charge [devices], we now have counters and dinner tables that are free from cords, clutter, and screens. Now our kids check in with us and ask to use electronics rather than holing up somewhere with them!”

3. Chris’ Small Vanity Drawer Swap

Problem: Chris’ wife faced the challenge of storing and powering multiple styling tools in a bathroom with limited drawer space. His solution? A powered pull out cabinet organizer.

“The drawers are not quite big enough for all the devices that my wife uses... What I ended up doing was installing the Docking Drawer right into the back of a Rev-A-Shelf pull-out, and adding a Docking Drawer outlet.”

4. Michelle’s Makeup Desk Makeover

Problem: Michelle’s new home had a beautiful bathroom but not enough outlets, leaving her pull out cabinet organizer underutilized and her styling tools cluttering the counter.

“I do my hair almost every day with various Dyson products. I want to be able to put them back into a drawer when I’m done without the whole unplug/replug frustration. Docking Drawer is the perfect solution for me because I want to have my Dyson products plugged in and off the countertop—but ready to go when I need them.”

Solution: By adding a Docking Drawer outlet to her makeup desk drawer, Michelle can keep all her styling tools plugged in and ready to use, while otherwise neatly tucked away. The in-drawer outlet’s safety features—including an auto safety shutoff to prevent overheating—make it the perfect match for a powered pull out organizer in any bathroom.

5. Milan’s Hack for Inaccessible Outlets

Problem: During a kitchen remodel, Milan’s new cabinets blocked access to a planned outlet. Her solution? Transforming a pull out cabinet organizer into a dedicated charging station.

“We had outlets installed above and below counter level, but they did not plan out the outlet locations with the cabinets installed, so they put drawers over one of the lower outlets... The project lead suggested we could still make use of the inaccessible outlet by installing a Docking Drawer [in-drawer outlet]. And it worked out great!”

Solution: Milan installed a Docking Drawer outlet into a cabinet drawer, creating a versatile charging zone for a variety of tech devices. The result?

“It worked out great! Previously, we charged on our counters and would constantly be clearing the cords into drawers or other storage to reduce clutter and free up our outlets. Now we just have a nice, large drawer for charging. It fits phones, laptops, wearables, and Xbox controllers. I love the model I got that provides so much flexibility with USB-A, USB-C (lower and higher wattages), and standard outlets.”
