I would like to screw it to the fridge box then slide the whole thing into the opening then fasten that to the cabinet. Any problem with driving sheet metal screws into the fridge right near to the front edge of the box? The screws would go into the box only 1/4"
Not quite sure I understand how your doing this, but if I understand correctly, you want to screw the trim pieces into the refrig box.
I believe refrig boxes are sealed all around except for the door opening. I would be cautious about penetrating the sealed area even for only 1/4 inches.
If you do screw into the box I would suggest using some good sealant that is made for refrigeration purposes ( not sure there is such a product) and drive the screws "wet" into the box along with sealing the trim pieces.
Be careful.
