Kegerator rails

I searched the forums for those rails that go around the top of kegerators, but the links in the threads were dead. Does anyone have links to specific parts and assembly instructions?

I just purchased my Danby fridge from walmart and my 3" stainless tower with perlick 525s from kegconnection and am awaiting their arrival. I think the rails are the last part I'll need to assemble a great setup with all the fantastic advice and detailed isntructions I've found on this site.

I bought my rails at IKEA. They are supposed to be used for drawer pulls, but work awesome as kegerator rails.

I bought these for mine.

Either of you have pictures with those on your kegerators?

I'm actually out of town so I can't snap a picture, but these are the directions I followed. There is a picture of the kegerator with the IKEA Lansa rails.

I put cabinet pull rails on a kegerator I restored and gave to a friend. There's a pic in the first post of the "keezer soze" thread in my sig.

Thanks. I read the directions, but they don't say how to attach them. Do you have to drill through the top of the fridge?

Since I removed the top/lid to install the tower, I drilled the holes and attached the rails with the screws from the bottom of the top/lid.

Just out of curiosity, what's the point of the rails?

A lot of people store glassware on top of the kegerator, and the rails keep things from sliding off. I think a lot of it is also aesthetic.

I used this how to when I did mine, attached the rails the same way BrainDfect did and added washers on the under side to spread the load on the plastic.

I am out of town right now, but I will post a picture of mine on Wed. I went with a longer rails if I remember correctly.

They are supposed to keep the glasses from falling off the edge, but I have yet to test this theory. Also, looks really.

I put mine on for aesthetic reasons...I liked the look of the stainless rails. I also used the Ikea Lansa rails.
