How to Install a Kitchen Cabinet


Most homes have the kitchen cabinet as their focal point of appearance. The kitchen together with its cabinets form a specific type of attraction in the places where you are residing. Others may want to get the special look in their kitchen. This is not usually a difficult thing to carry out in order to get your kitchen looking good at any angle. There are simple steps to take when working out the kitchen decor. If you are to include cabinets in your kitchen, there are simple steps that will make you go gaga with your own kitchen. There are tools that you will need in order to come up with the desired installation of the cabinets. Tools such as a pencil, drill level, tape measure, compass and the like will be absolutely vital for the installation of the kitchen cabinets.

The first step in installing your own kitchen cabinet is to make a mark on the wall where the cabinets are going to be adjoined. This should be done three inches or higher from the highest point on the floor. This is to find the base of the cabinet. You are also required to measure 30 inches from the floor to find the base of the floor. You now have the bottom and top base of the cabinet.

The next step involves taking the partitions of the cabinets. The partitions should be close to 19 inches. These partitions should be marked lightly using a pencil. Always note the original dimensions that have been taken and used in making the partitions.

With all the lines marked, you can now start to install the kitchen cabinets. You are to start fixing the corner cabinet. This is usually the most difficult cabinet to install. Therefore you are going to require extra hands in order to get it in place. After fixing the corner cabinets, you can now carry on with the other cabinets that are to be installed. Make sure that you carry out the correct measures that you had noted down and marked on the wall. After placing the cabinets as you want them to be, you are now required to fix the screws in the holes that are on the cabinets. The screwing should be done tightly in order to make the cabinet firm and able to withstand any weight on its top base. Some cabinets do not come with the screwing holes so it is usually up to you to sort out the screws.

After the completion of the installation of the cabinets, make sure that you clean the area around it and make it look good. This will help in giving it a clearer appearance. After cleaning you can start installing your goods in the cabinets in order to satisfy your kitchen requirements. If this does not work for you, there is always another way to get the kitchen cabinet installed for you. You hire a carpenter to do it for you!
