How many kegs did you fit on the freezer side? I'm taking measurements and it looks like I can fit 2 with plenty of extra space but not a third. I haven't cut any of the parts out of the door (yet). Do you have a compressor hump? How many cubic feet is your fridge model?

Like mistercammeron said. 3 total. With a little trimming of the ice chute from the inside door panel 2 kegs fit on the upper half and one the floor of the freezer. I think someone did the build and fit 4 by maximizing the top space and building a short shelf for the floor so that 2 kegs will fit. I havent done it yet but up its on my to do/try list.

I hadn't seen the 4 setup but I'm tempted to try it out later. I just measures from the top of the hump to the ceiling... 52 inches. You might be able to get another inch or two if the depth allows you to move the platform lower. Either way, my kegs are about 26in to the top of the ball lock coupler. Very tight.

I was able to get four pin locks in mine by removing the door panel and all of the ice making equipment. It is a tad tight, but not too bad.
