Now that you have your new kitchen cabinets, you are ready to take the next big thing ..... Install kitchen cabinets. Although the actual installation of kitchen isn'tall so hard, the first step is measuring and marking where the cabinets will go. Paste the layout on the walls and floors, you will not only with the inclusion of kitchen cabinets and places of significance to help, but also help to identify the siteBe adjustments and shims will be required. Before the start there are a few items needed for the project:
Pencil
Level or laser level
Drill
Tape Measure
Stud Finder
Pliers
1 "x 3" piece of wood (6'-8 'long) or an inverted U-shaped frame (see note below)
Wedges
Screw (long enough to 1 1 / 2 in the columns)
Knife or scissors
Marking Compass
Some additionalHands (May be you need to bribe one of your friends)
As I said, you can support a piece of 1 "x 3" wood for the installation or construction of a framework for the cabinets (which I have a photo of a frame below) included. This can be done from 2 ft x 4 and should be large enough to support the underside of the cabinets. If you want to install more than one kitchen, I recommend a setting, but a piece of wood is not very good ifis a one-time event. In both cases, you will need a number of other hands to help with the installation.
In this case we have (RTA) Ready-to-assembly furniture kitchen kitchen and bathroom RTA Cabinet Store. Now the kitchen cabinets is to be assembled, we are ready to begin our slogan layout. Some people start with the cabinets, but we are the first built-in wardrobes. There is no right or wrong way to start, I prefer to startfrom the first upper cabinets.
1. Use a level and a pencil to draw a parallel line through the wall about 3 cm from the ground. Measure yourself from this line on the floor and find the plans on the number (if any), and mark a line there. Measure from that date up to up 34 1 / 2 inches and a horizontal line across the wall show the top of the cabinet base.
2. Now you have marked the top of the cabinet at a lowerspecifying any other 19 1 / 2 inches and a line level of the entire wall to the bottom of the cabinets. A little 'size of the individual brands and firms on the wall to ensure that the original layout is correct.
3. Use a stud finder to find studs in the wall. Use a pencil to the stud locations, at least 6 inches above and below the bottom line of cabinets to highlight it. Draw straight vertical lines between the marks at the top and bottom place in the middlePads.
4. If you use the piece of 1 going to decide 'x 3' wood now is where you have (if you chose to use, in order to separate U-shape, into the game after all rows are displayed). Wall screw a length of temporary assistance 1 'x 3', aligning the top edge of the line with the lower edge of the roof. With the leadership of 3 or 4 two-inch screws through the rail into the wall studs Connect.
5. Now that we have all the sharp lines isTime to make the installation kitchen cabinets. We will start with the corner cupboard (the hands together, where additional support will be needed). Place the furniture in the corner on the parapet of a temp and ask your assistant to the cabinet in the corner to keep in position. Previous pilot holes through the sturdy housing, or his support and guide pins wall. Screw the cabinet to the wall with two screws that are long enough to penetrate the nailat least 1 1 / 2 inches. Check the top of the cabinet at the stage and lead the first of the government. If you need to correct the position, behind the screws a bit and keep the field behind the positions Stud If it explore and level, tighten the screws and add a lot more in each plot to ensure that The Cabinet is firmly fixed to the wall.
6. Now we want to offices on both sides of the cabinet in the corner. AsInstall each of them, use tongs to ensure that all cabinets to ensure the next room, then check for the Lot with your level. Faceframe closets, is a good idea to drill two 1 / 8 inch holes on the driver's side used the faceframe and screws. In this case, with frameless, ready to assemble kitchen cabinets, we'll go to the pages of plywood and use shims between the cabinet screw to a custom fit and make sure that the company faces arelead.
7. After all the wall cabinets are in place, install the corner or the base case casing finish. Use shims if necessary, increase in the company and the line that marks the highest point on the floor. Be sure that it is just from front to back and side to side, then screw on the wall studs. If you do not have a closet or diagonal corner cabinet in the blind spot, move to the next room and hold together the two units. Adding a group to fill, if necessary, open doors and drawers for plenty of space and to close properly. If necessary, tap shims under the cabinet, and back to reflect and lead the level.
8. Drive screws through the back of the case holding (s) in wall studs. Remove excess material from the shims with a chisel or a knife. Continue to add adjoining cabinets in this way, membership in the same way as the roof connected to continue with step 6.
9. If yourBoxing> at the end pushing against another wall, you can fill up a group to have logged offset in recent years. If you have custom cabinets, built should have been filled to this gap, but if you have kitchen cabinets or RTA band filling may be necessary. If there is no need for a strip of filling, leaving the company by other companies use clever. Insert a rule to the nearest unit installed, which stretches enough for you to be oriented to face contactSign on the wall. Allow 3 / 4 offset "behind these brands (for the thickness of the piece of input), and add a clamp on the wall. Then install and secure the last cabinet and measure the distance between the frame and the wall.
If the wall is flat, simply unpack the Board of Directors to the required width, and fill it securely in power. If the wall is illegal, Scribe-Fit board filling. Start by using a compass to mark the width of the gap, then a strip 1 inch wideTape on the edge of the filling in the region where you have to be reduced. Set on the Council to meet at the end of the Council of Ministers, and then the border wall increase with the compass. Remove the paper and cut along the scribe with a saw, you install it again to verify the adjustment. When right is drive screws through the adjacent structure in the side of the filling. Nail or screw the other side of the terminal.
At this point complete the installation of kitchen cabinet is. If you purchasedaccording to the crown molding or other details, should now be easily installed. If you need the shims under the base cabinets, you may need to install to cut some pieces to travel the kick on the foot holds or omissions from the lower kitchen cabinets.
I hope this helps to make the installation of kitchen smoothly as possible. If you need help choosing a wardrobe, kitchen layout tips and ideas for styles of the cabinet, kitchen visit RTACabinet Store & Bath
