xx Installing Floor to Ceiling Cabinets
« Thread started on: Dec 15th, 2009, 10:14pm »
I have a job that will require a couple of tall cabinets that run from floor to ceiling.

How do you stand it up, once on site, since on a diagonal the cabinet is taller than the vertical height.

I've assembled cabinets like this before in the field but was wondering if there was an easier way?

If any of you have dealt with this problem your expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If your cabinet has toe kicks leave the toe kick loose until you get the cabinet stood up in the room where it goes then put the toe kick where the cabinet goes and lift the cabinet up onto the toe kick. If you don't have a toe kick you could split the cabinet in two pieces and stack them on site. Hope that helps. Dennis

Couple ways to do this.

As the previous post says, leave your toe kicks off and use a separate box for the kick or leg levellers.

Assemble on site

My personal favorite, do it in 2 or 3 boxes that get stacked. Easier to install, lighter to carry, easier to maneuver into the house.

A neat way to do this right every time is to measure the ceiling ht. and them run your tape measure on a diagonal across the side of the cabinet. If the ceiling is 94" run your tape to 93.5" and with a pencil draw the arc that the tape makes.

I usually only do this on a fridge cab. Most of my cabinets are on removable toe kicks that I level and set before set the cabinet box.
