at 3:43 the clips shown are the clips when not using a hanging rail, the hanging rail clips have a hole that looks like a large coma, they are meant to slide sideways so you can fine tune your hanging rail level before tightening down on the coma clips; also the rail should be presented to the wall to insure the stud locations have rail holes lined up on their locations

Hi there, with regards to your Puk lights, why not purchase additional end panels and fit underneath the cabinets? You can router out channels for those wires/ lights and cut out the hole; therefore you do not need an extra shelf and it does away with the hole in the cabinet. Also, you keep the door fittings in the same place. That is how I have fitted all of my lights. No wires are showing.

Thank you a ton, this is extremely useful. I'm a bit confused with your explanations concerning the wages & shimmers adjustment. I don't understand at what time you replace these, with the 5.8" piece of plywood, and also since you're adjusting the shimmers & wages, how can the plywood reflect these changes then (meaning at the time you remove the wages and put the plywood alone)? Sorry for my misunderstanding, the answer is likely quite obvious! Also could you please specify the references of the screws & bits you use to attach the bottom of the frames to the bottoms, to fix the frames together, and to fix the plywood behind the frame? Thank you again for all your advices!

I did wonder, by not using the L shaped back cabinet spacer, replacing it with a block of plywood, would that not put all of the pressure on block then transferring pressure to the somewhat flimsy back panel. While i like your idea for transferring load to the stud, the plastic spacer also puts load on the hardboard frame. Just curious!!

This guide was just superb. Exactly what i needed. Got one question though. In a straight kitchen (no corner cabinets), is it possible to deinstall the end base cabinet without removing the countertop. This is vital for my ikea kitchen plans, since these cabinets would be right next to some pipes, which would potentially require maintenance. Ideally I would like to design the kitchen in such a way that won't require complete reinstallation if something happens to those pipes

I didn't quite understand the shim/block of ply procedure at the back of the cabinet to achieve the 90°.

This is a very well done VIDEO. Really helps a lot. At IKEA we've been told that the legs of the cabinet s not supposed to support the weight therefore we have to build a frame that the cabinets all sit on. I have watched a lot of videos and nom of the have mentioned anything about it. So my question is can the vab legs support the weight or not? Cheers
@haariskhan8824 Жыл бұрын
Given that the the base units are hung onto the rail, and also with extra screws into the studs, most of the weight is on the studs. Therefore some weight going onto the legs won’t be an issue.

@switchdoor20112 жыл бұрын
once all the cabinets are installed and put together you can pre drill a 3mm hole in a few of the remaining holes in the drawer slide and screw in a screw, 1 1/4" if two frames are side by side . This will give great strength to especially 15" high drawers. If a drawer frame is at the end of a run of frames you can still screw in some extra 3/4" screws that would need to be purchased from hardware store ( #8 3/4" countersunk wood screws)

Just watch the toe kick section....darn not as helpful as i was hoping. Im pretty handy but have zero experience in this area wish it was bit more detailed step by step....including different scenerios. I have no uppers only several lowers to fit in between two walls . Beside each end cabinet i have gaps one at about 2 inches.....other at roughly about 4 inches. Walls are not straight. So whats 4 inches at bottom is probably closer to 5 inches toward the top. 🤯🤦♀️ wall scribing is out of my comfort zone. 😢
@Carloscrosario2 жыл бұрын
Excellent, but missing the piece I was really looking for. You can see a gap from the top of the wall cabinets to the ceiling. I wanted to see some solutions for that. To me that gap just does not look good at all. I watched another video after making the above comment and discovered IKEA recommends fixing the wall cabinet rail no closer than 3/4" distance from the ceiling. That 3/4" is the exact thickness of the IKEA Decor strip. So I am assuming the decor strip will fill that gap completely as long as I take the time to level the ceiling with plaster mortar or mud as they call it.
@switchdoor20112 жыл бұрын
The best solution here is after you have installed all your uppers and hung the doors so everything looks good. Remove the doors and install a piece of primed material shaping it to fill the gap between the cabinets and the ceiling. Caulk any gaps and paint this piece same colour as your ceiling. This is the best solution I I found over the 35 years of installing kitchens.

In the Ikea suspension rail(602.615.27) instruction manual (AA-1054038-6) it says to hang the rails 32 3/16" from the floor but in your video you say 34 1/2" from the floor, why is your measurement different to Ikeas? Similarly your measurement is 94 1/2" whereas iKea instruction manual says 92 3/126" and 84 1/2" vs 82 3/16"

He might be going from the top of the rail? In any case it's definitely 32 3/16" from the bottom of the rail. Lots of people on these IKEA instructional videos coming up with other numbers when it's very clearly stated by IKEA.

@@switchdoor2011 Thank you for not being offended 🙂 "Incorrect" may not describe what I meant to, but certain things don't make sense at all. My comments below are based on Ikea's own instructions and best practices from installing 200+ Ikea kitchens personally. Did I learn something from your video? Yes, opening the boxes with a putty knife. Good idea. RAILS: Measurements for the rail. It is not 34 1/2" to the top of the rail, but 32 3/16" to the bottom. The top of the rail is not at the same height as the top of the cabinet, but a bit lower. The same goes for the pantry cabinets. Not 94 1/2" and 84 1/2" but 92 3/16" and 82 3/16". Also, when hanging the rails it is important to mention that if the floor goes in after the kitchen, the rails should be offset with the thickness of the rail. Drilling holes in the rails for screws take away any option to adjust the rails in height. Not needed and a waste of time if you ask me. CABINETS: Drilling holes for screws into the cabinet cables is pointless. Not needed. The lock nut/disc is doing a great job and when cabinets are sitting shoulder to shoulder, they cannot come apart. Measuring the diagonal before nailing...pointless as you use the back as a square (as described by Ikea too). Alternatively use a carpenter's square. Cabinet assembly can be done in many ways. Yours are not great IMHO. DRAWER ASSEMBLY: There's a much better way of putting the hardware together, and countings holes for positioning the hardware inside the cabinet is not needed as well. Counting is so time-consuming. I am not going to explain why and how I do it as it will become too long a story. Securing an island to the floor. Why not use the island kit? Your process "must be done over a couple of days"....wow... Black/yellow screws for securing cabinets together. Seriously? I agree that the plastic things at the bottom of the wall cabinets are poop but going through the whole ordeal with the wooden strips. Phew....makes me exhausted. And forever and ever, the client has to look at a screw at the back inside the wall cabinet. Not cool. Potlights with a double bottom/shelf? I am flabbergasted. It must take you forever to install a kitchen, based on what I see. Handdriven screwdriver for drawer hardware. Counting holes. Waiting for the glue to cure and so on. 80% of my kitchens are installed in four days. Top job.

CUIDADO CON IKEA, a mi madre le iban a instalar la encimera el martes 20/12/2022, el 19 le llegó el pedido de IKEA y retiramos la encimera antigua que estaba rota. Nadie la llamó el martes 20, llamé para preguntar y me dijeron que todo estaba correcto y no había ningún problema que la instalarían el miércoles 23, tampoco se la colocaron ese día, ni nadie la llamó. Hoy jueves 23 ha recibido en SMS, dándole una nueva cita para el 27/12/2022. Teníamos previsto celebrar la comida de navidad con ella en su casa, tiene 80 años, pero cocina muy bien y le gusta cocinar. IKEA nos ha roto las navidades, me parece inhumano, injusto y cruel. Sentimos una tremenda impotencia, ya está todo pagado y no podemos costearnos otra encimera. Por favor a quien lea esta reseña que la difunda lo máximo posible para que nadie vuelva a quedarse otra vez sin NAVIDAD. Gracias.
