It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better kzfaq.infoUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

When holes are need to be drilled from the back of the cabinet, I use a very fine drill to start with from the back, then drill the size required from the inside of the cabinet. No splaying of finishing on the inside. Good videos Stuart I enjoying watching them each week, keep it up.

Fascinates me to see how meticulous you are and your level of detail and thought process is second to none, absolutely brilliant

A client wanted a 2 metre wide Oak "Welsh Dresser" cabinet weighing over 60kg, fitted to a single skin breeze block dot & dabbed plasterboard wall. Dresser was to hold/display finest crockery. Used a 2 metre long cabinet hanging wall rail (cut down to fit inside of cabinet width end panels) & fixed rail to wall using nine Corefix Metal & Plastic Heavy Duty Dot & Dab wall fixings (10 × 95mm). Fitted a pair of 130 Kg rated Hafele Spider Concealed Cabinet Hangers (each with 4 off 10mm diameter metal dowel fixings) to inside back of cabinet end panels. Two of us lifted Cabinet onto Wall Rail & vertically/horizontally adjusted each cabinet hanger through two 25mm diameter holes in cabinet back panel, prior to fitting cover caps. That was several years ago & cabinet still on wall 👍

Another fantastic video, really appreciated the way you approached fitting the heavy cabinet, it’s always a worry not knowing if one has done enough to ensure a positive fixing, but using your recent lessons/video on plasterboard fixing you have shown how it’s done yet again ……. Brilliant video

I love these types of videos from your channel. When I see them I know that this is a method I can trust to be practical and safe and accessible to DIYers. There's a reason your channel is growing so fast - keep doing what you're doing!

Great video love how well you explain things without it being to complicated to understand some videos that others make I just can’t wrap my head around And hey that workshop looks amazing thank you love watching the vids

Another excellent video, thank you. Your way of explaining how to do various DIY jobs is easy to understand and put into practice. Some very good tips of hanging cabinets etc is much appreciated.

Just wanted to mention: be careful boiling the kettle underneath the cupboard. I have a relative who did this for years and eventually the surface of the cupboard door started to separate from the door. Hope you have a nice Easter weekend!

I’ll probably never need to do this type of job but I loved watching the video anyway. Your skills are admirable.

Same cabinets that I have used and not a fan of those hangers, used a French cleat system similar to your idea but each batten is cut at a 45° angle so the two pieces slot into each other, used this system for more years than I care to mention.

Excellent stuff, as always. Some really useful tips to make you more confident of your next project. Thank you!

I have ten of those cabinets hung on my kitchen walls (plasterboard) using blue Grippit fixings to mount the brackets and 2 1/2 years later they're holding perfectly well 👍👍

Only you could make a video about hanging a cabinet on a wall interesting & enjoyable to watch. Top job as always

So many tips and easy instructions . Love this channel . I don’t do anything DIY without checking this channel playlist

Nice job! (As usual 🙂). One thing I sometimes do when mounting cabinets and other heavy items is to drill the holes into the wall sloping slightly downwards, which reduces the chance of the screws pulling out as the vector force on them is nearer 90 degrees to the line of the screw. I'm not sure how much difference this would make in a plasterboard-faced wall, though: most of my installs have been against solid brick walls.

I follow your videos from the south of Spain, I see them very complete and always with a bit of humor. keep it up Stuart

Great job... Good dod of filler in those holes and great fixing... buying a house you've lived in must be a big win- more solid than when it was built!

Top Class video. Clear broadcast of your skills. Thank you greatly, found your video just in time for my kitchen arriving. Peace be unto you.

You do excellent work chap. I love watching your videos

Good job! It's a pleasure to see you working!

If you use plain threaded rod you can unwind the threaded bar by using 2 nuts locked together then unwind the bottom nut, to prevent the removal of the threaded bar suppliers grind a flat section on the end of the stud which will prevent any rotation, brilliant video and they are great fixings, I use to work for a well know seating company and we sometimes had to use chemical fixings on our installations. 👍

From 1 chippy to a non chippy, I must say kudos man 👌

Excellent video Thank you for your valuable time and effort in making this very useful video.

Me gustó su trabajo, quedó muy bien. Un saludo

The best sort of extractor fan in a utility room is one auto operated by humidity. When condensation from drying clothes overnight, etc. causes condensation indoors, a humidistat fan automatically removes it so all is dry by morning!

Another great job Stuart,,, Love watching your videos

Thank you so much, trying to do things myself and this was super helpful. Appreciate.

Clean job. Thanks for the tutorial!

Nice thorough explanation of the job!

I do something very similar to your hangers but I do it at the bottom of the cabinet. This means the bottom is supported and held tight to the wall so there is no sagging of the bottom shelf if you really load it up.

Nice job, Stuart. For a similar application, I incorporated a French cleat in my store bought cupboard as the fixings looked a bit dodgy to me. BTW, I was hoping so much for you to reveal a cupboard full of your mugs and was very pleased to see it in the end!

When fitting end panels I would normally set them forward and scribe the back edge so they finish flush with the front of the door.

Nice work. When we do fillers we put a block behind and screw into that. Then the filler sits forward flush with the door.

Another awesome video, thanks Stuart

Must say Ikea's solution for securely hanging is a good notch better. On some occasions I've just added a few more of their L-brackets when needed since the bracket's holes fits the shelf's holes. And they used to be freely available at their service desk (unfortunately not anymore).

I was expecting you to use a french cleat, which is what I did at my old house. Also I never felt the need to use felt on my cupboard doors, they are always quiet no matter how hard you close them!!!

Those makeshift block brackets you have connected on the back are such a simple but great idea, I kick myself now for not using them when I did my kitchen

Lovely bit of improvisation and customisation. We've all done it. 😁

Why dont you use the old fan switch to feed some under cabinet lighting? perhaps your next project on here?

Now had chance to watch it all. Great video and exactly what I’ll need for an upcoming project. I was waiting for the gag from the moment you mentioned the kettle and sure enough you didn’t disappoint although I had to wait until the very end! Couple of observations - when you added the load-spreading bar across the top did you consider a french cleat (I thought that was where you were heading)? Could’ve then done away with those supplied metal hooks completely. And - a bit more tongue in cheek - but I thought you might have asked Peter M to supply the cabinet itself :-)

Rigifix M8 are by far the best heavy duty dot and dab fixings I’ve ever used. They are superb.

Great video thanks Stuart

Informative and easy to follow as usual. An under cabinet light with a feed from the extractor fan would have been good though...

Very nice job!

Nice Job, To avoid chipout I always do it with a router clean cuts

Great video Stuart and yet again useful information and tips for any future jobs. Also a bit of a reveal about your 'old' channel, might just have to check a few of those out (not that I have any intentions of going there). Cheers. 😁👍

Stuart, As a wise man once said "Perfick, Ma, Perfick". You made that look so easy!

Great Job Stu, but how annoying is the small chip on the inside corner of the left door?

Can you come round to my house please? The cabinets in my kitchen are nearly up to the ceiling (don’t know if the last person was about 8ft tall) and I need a step ladder to use them and I’m getting old 😩 These videos are great because you show how easy it is to do a job properly. I just wish most “professionals” would do that too!

Nice! I suppose if you wanted to keep the fan, you could fix-on a dressed 2"x2" frame first, which would give an excellent fixing for cabinet, & use a round to flat adapter for the fan vent, & route it through the back framing to come out through the side where it meets the wall.? 🤔

Very nice job mate .. 👍

Great video, thanks !!

God, I love your vids, buddy! Keep them coming!

Great job

Looks great!

This video made my Easter weekend...

I do something similar but screw a piece of 2x4 to the wall underneath so the weight rests on it. I also use a din rail to give me more screw locations

Great video aways, informative and easy to understand. Thank you P D

Cant you use the vent wires to add led strip light to the bottom of the cabinet? Keep up the good work!

Hi another great clear video , what did you do with the wires to the extractor fan? keep up the good work , G.

For adjoining cabinets, its worth chasing out for the wall hangers, that way you don't get the ridiculous situation where even if fitted perfectly, the wall hangers are only holding it out of centre which causes more stress on the hangers. Better to have the wall hangers spanning unit, making it far less likely it won't have a firm hold.

The brackets hold the cupboards no problem at all. 👍🏻

Great video. Thanks.

Great video , very helpful , what plugs / screws are you using to hang unit on wall , thanks

Great video , can you tell us the brand / model of watch your are wearing .Looks very functional.

Those soft close plastic mechanisms are cheap and cheerful, but won't last longer than a year if that. We bought them as well from B&Q and most of them broke off or the damper give up. I highly recommend getting something better them .

I was also worried that two small wall fixings was too flimsy for all that weight, but Howdens and probably other reputable kitchen suppliers sell the same wall fixing in 600mm or 1200mm lengths that allow you to make multiple secure fixes. The other benefit of this is that you get no dog leg where two units are fitted side by side.

Great video, as always. I don't get the fan. Why remove it?

Brilliant - I could never get mine to turn out like that 😆

Always a professional 👌 👏

Thanks Stuart ,great Video as usual, but I just learnt something from it, you put the Felt dampeners on the door :) for all this time I have been putting them on the Cupboard not the door. 👍

Keep up the good content.. where did you purchase the cordless vacuum cleaner from please?

Superb Stuff. Followed your method (GIve or Take ) that was a while back. It's still there and it's full of half full tins of paint.later.

A brilliant video as always. I have to laugh though, because all of your details to making it perfect (which absolutely makes for a great finished cabinet), you go and spoil it by leaving the left hand door with a big chip in the inside bottom corner....shown at 15:30. 😂😂😂

The result looks good. But please what was your intention drilling first 2x 4 horizontal (upper) holes, but instead of using them for mounting, secondly filling them directly with gypsum/plaster filler ? Reserved for future use ? Before installing dry walls, I have good expierience screwing wooden plate behind the dry wall backside, to create a screwable montage zone behind the dry wall for heavy cabinets.

Tidy job as always matey !

Shame about the small chip on the inside bottom corner of the left hand door. Put some white sealer on it it's only going to get on your nerves over time or worse the missus will say so! Good video though as always, thank you.

Hi Tom could you do a video on consealed kitchen unit hinges

Toaster and kettle in the utility room Stuart? Sounds more like a second kitchen to me :-) Going to need to save this video as I’ve had the same job on my list for a long time after I messed up putting some shelves in our utility room last year. Cabinet will be better option.

Very nice and clean installation, just have to give you some tips on masticing. Lol

Top lads doing top jobs. What's not to like.

Good video as usual, do you have a link to the tools that you use anywhere?

Hi stuart Can you get a bracket that fixes the full length of the wall ? Almost like a tv bracket so you can hang a bank of cupboards in a row,iv got a diy kitchen on the go it would make life a lot easier

Crikey! I've NeVeR EvEr thought about doing that much extra wrk jus 2 hang a standard cabinet! 🤪 Looked great tho 👍

Nice videos. Just wondered why you did not use the 'resin anchors' you seemed to love a video or 2 back...?

Nice video. Love country music. How would you fix this to a plaserboard stud partition wall?

Did you consider using the french cleat system like someone mentioned earlier ?

thank you for the video my installer ocd kicks in im afraid, the mitre joint wasnt tight enough for my liking and i usually wax the joins also so then the disappear. why is the decor panel not level with door? when ever tape is added either side of a caulk line its leaves a line the thickness of the tape which all ways look horrid.

Nice job as ever havent seen a bad video from you yet always very well explained and easy to follow

Should have used corefixings instead of faffing around with filling those holes and adding timber supports.

Can u do a vido on adjusting thos cabnit hinges. I cant get them right.no matter what i do. Ther on wardrob doors

What if you wanted to keep that fan driven vent working through the cabinet, possibly vented through the top of the cabinet?

Morning Stuart from Rome. As usual an interesting and very well executed Video. Can you tell me the name of the cushion closers you used. Were they included with the cabinet or did you purchase them separately. I particularly liked that they are adjustable. Keep up the good work. Just out of interest were you involved in the new Hamad International Airoprt in Doha?

Use the Red And White Mag 😂 Great Work

When I saw the title, my immediate thought was "French Cleat" 🤪

I like your vids but you need to look into how you fit a dec end panel and hide your screws with the hinges

Fabulous

Lovin the proper Dubai mug 😂

Hi please could you post the link for the Cabinet Door Soft Closer that you used in this video? i have seen other ones online but i like the one which you used. Thanks.
