Installing Base Cabinets Away From Wall

Installing base cabinets away from the wall is becoming a popular trend in kitchen design. It is the most practical way to install kitchen cabinet hardware, but also offers an attractive look and feel. Here are a few ideas on how to install it.

The first thing you need to do when installing base cabinets away from the wall is to measure the space you have to work with. To do this, you will need to know the size of the cabinet you want, and where it will be installed. To find the measurement, take a small piece of paper and mark off where you want the cabinet to go. You can also take the measurement to an interior design magazine for a more accurate measurement.

Once you have your measurement, you should measure the width of the wall that the cabinet will be placed against. When you get the measurements, you can use a kitchen measuring tape. Tape measures work great for easy measurement.

The next step is to measure the length of the cabinet. Take a straight edge and mark the length of the cabinet with it. This will ensure the cabinet will fit right into the space. You will want to measure the width so you can make sure the cabinet will fit on the wall before you install it.

Next, you need to drill a hole for the screws that hold the cabinet in place. If you have not done this before, you should measure the depth of the holes that you will be drilling. You will need to have the cabinet close to the floor to keep from knocking it over. For smaller cabinets, you can use a countersink bit to help it fit. As an alternative, you can use a post-hole digger to help with making the depth perfect.

After you have measured the depth of the holes and drilled the holes, you will want to use a drill bit that is slightly larger than the size of the cabinet. Take the screw that will hold the cabinet in place and lightly tap it against the bit. You will want to make sure it fits comfortably in the hole. Use a drill press or power drill for this task.

Now, take the base cabinets and stack them in one end of your work surface. Drill a small hole into the other side of the cabinets, about the same size as the hole you just made in the other side. This will allow you to insert the drawer slide. The screw will be the same size as the one that screwed the cabinet in place.

Using the cabinet pull handle, slide the base cabinets into the holes you just drilled. If you did not use a countersink bit, you can also use a small screwdriver to loosen the screws on the other side of the cabinets. Slide the slide through the holes you drilled, and slide the other side of the cabinet in place. Put some epoxy on the inside of the cabinet before you screw it in place.

Then, you can apply some more epoxy to the outside of the cabinet and put on the cover. If you didn't put any epoxy on the inside, just apply the epoxy. Put on the hinges and slide the cabinet back into place. Reinstall the drawers and secure the base cabinets in place. You can also use the locking mechanism to lock it in place.

Before you apply the clear grout or paint, you need to make sure all the cabinet hardware is in place. For this, you will need to make sure the shelves, pulls, and knobs are secure. If they aren't, you will need to remove them. You can finish the cabinet by painting the base cabinets a light color, or by applying some new hardware. This is the best way to maintain the look of the original cabinet. Since this was your original cabinet, you can choose a style of cabinet that complements the look.

Using these tips will make the whole process a lot easier. If you get stuck, there are plenty of magazines that can give you the tips.
