Fixing kitchen cabinets mounted on the bar with your hands

Wall cabinets - is an important element of kitchen sets. Due to such furniture will save you space, while at the same time, it is roomy.

Therefore, the mechanism of fixing the kitchen cabinets have to endure heavy loads. It is for this reason, is considered an important factor in the reliability and quality of the fasteners of each part of the headset to the wall.

The height of the hanging

Before you start assembling the headset into a single "wall", it is necessary to determine the height at which the furniture will be suspended. To correctly perform data manipulation, preliminary estimates have to be made.

You must correctly identify the interval from countertop to the bottom of the headset. It primarily provides the convenience of the owners of an apartment or house in the furniture use.

Boxes should be placed on the owner's eye level to create the most comfortable conditions for their use.

For people with an average growth of this value varies from 55 to 65 cm. Optimal height is the one where a person without a third-party devices reaches up to the highest shelf and take the desired object without risking release it out of hand.

If you do not plan to install the bottom of the headset or countertop, you should take into account the calculations presented in the table:

Human growth / height fastener (in inches)

• 155-165 / 175-180
• 165-175 / 185
• 175-190 /200

It must be remembered: mount wall cabinets - it is a serious procedure, due to incorrect calculations of all oversight will be visible.

mounting options

There are 2 methods by which fastened to for kitchen cabinets. Performing the installation is carried out:

1. One line, that is, the location of the mounting object is equidistant from the ceiling;
   

   It is considered the most common form of accommodation. Thus, you can easily fix their own lockers.

2. Use different levels of suspension, ie, the objects are at different heights.
   

   This method is used much less frequently, since its implementation is much more complex than a linear scheme of fixing.

The first method is popular because for mounting kitchen cabinets, you can use only their own power, without resorting to outside help.

The second option of joining fixing items is less common among the commoners. This is because there is the use of the roof of the furniture as an additional surface.

Sheds should consolidate in one position. Fixing protrusion portion (a hook configuration) should be 2 mm with respect to the rear wall.
2. If it was planned cutting of the tire, it is necessary to engage the workpiece.
3. At the pre-scribed wall made holes for fixing the tire.
   

   At the end of the bar must be added by means of dowels or screws.

4. Housing mounted furniture must be installed on the bus. Landmark - the plane of the wall. Next mount-on kitchen cabinets is carried out, focusing on the previous one.

• If you want to make a hole in the concrete wall, and no punch, you can do this through the hammer and punch.

Upon completion of all actions dowels are placed in the holes. Next comes the installation fasteners on the mounting plate. On the mounting plate fixed cabinets. To adjust their position using screws hinged mechanisms.

The elements are fixed by clamps, starting from the corner, avoiding chipping (in accordance with the above instruction).

The next step - drilling holes between tightly packed parts Headset for fastening them then intersectional ties.

Features attaching to drywall

The main difficulty in fixing the headset on the drywall is its inability to retain strength at high loads. For this reason, the use of standard fasteners are not recommended. Even a small weight locker mounted by fastening anchors easily damage the lining of plasterboard.
