Drawer slides generally are 1/2″ wide, 2 per drawer and come in nominal lengths IE., 10″- 24″ long. So if your cabinet is 19″ deep & the front clear opening or [face frame width] is 14.5″ wide, you will use 18″ slide hardware and the overall width has to be 13.5″, because 14.5″ opening minus 1″ for slides equals 13.5″. The box overall dimensions will be 13.5″ X 18″ to accommodatethe area in which it will be installed. This formula will be used in every cabinet anywhere IE,. Garage cabinets, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity cabinets and closet drawers.

All hinge manufactures their own line of hardware and the base plates produced give you more options for the specific applications. The image on the left shows a face frame cabinet with a base plate that when the door is closed, leaves an overlay margin that covers the cabinet frame.
The image on the right shows the alternative for a face frameless cabinet door. Effectively what has to happen is the base plate allows the door hinge to sit closer to the cabinet side in which it hinges on, all the while it can overlay the 3/4″ cabinet walls front edge.
