three. Use a stud finder to track down the wall studs. Use a pencil to mark the stud locations at least 6<br />
inches earlier mentioned and underneath the line with the bottom of the wall cupboards. Draw straight<br />
vertical lines between the top and bottom marks to indicate the center from the studs.<br />
4. In the event you decided to go using the piece of 1' x 3' lumber, now is the place you will use (if you<br />
decided to go with the U-shaped frame, it's going to come into play after all your lines are laid out).<br />
Screw a temporary 1' x 3' aid rail on the wall, aligning the top edge in the rail while using the line with<br />
the base edge on the wall cabinets. Attach it by driving three or 4 two inch screws through the rail into<br />
the wall studs.<br />
5. Given that we have all the lines marked, it is time to start setting up your kitchen cabinets. We are<br />
going to start with all the corner cupboard (here is the place your helper's excess established of hands<br />
will likely be needed). Place the corner cabinet onto the temporary assist rail and have your helper hold<br />
the corner cupboard in place. Drill pilot holes through the sturdy cabinet back or its assistance rail and<br />
into the wall studs. Screw the cupboard in the wall using two screws that are long enough to penetrate<br />
the studs by at least 1 1/2 inches. Check the top of your cupboard for amount and the front from the<br />
cabinet for plumb. When you have to correct the position, just back the screws out a little bit and top<br />
shims behind the cabinet at the stud spots. If it is plumb and degree, drive the screws all the way in and<br />
add several much more into each stud to ensure that the cabinet is secured tightly towards the wall.<br />
6. Now we are going to maneuver onto the cabinets on possibly side of the corner cabinet. As you install<br />
each 1, use the clamps to secure each cabinet to the neighboring cupboard and then check it for plumb<br />
with your amount. On faceframe cupboards, it is actually a good idea to drill two 1/8 inch pilot holes<br />
through the sides on the faceframe and use screws. In cases like this, with frameless, ready-to-assemble<br />
kitchen area cupboards we are going to screw through the plywood sides and use shims in between the<br />
cupboards to ensure a tight fit and make sure that the cabinet faces are plumb.<br />
7. After all the wall cupboards are in place, put in the corner or end base scenario cabinet. Use shims the<br />
place needed to degree the cabinet and raise it up to the line which indicates the high point of your floor.<br />
Be sure it is stage from front to back and from side to side, then screw it to your wall studs. When you<br />
don't have a diagonal corner cabinet or blind base cabinet in the corner, push the adjoining cabinet into<br />
place and clamp the two units together. Add a filler strip if needed to allow the doors and drawers<br />
adequate clearance to open and close properly. If necessary, tap shims under the cupboard and behind<br />
it to adjust for plumb and level.
