Using wall units on floor!

[Tony Hayes]

Oddly enough, only a few pounds difference. The normal base units wouldn't be any good for me though because of the depth measurement.

I looked in my local warehouse, but did not see them. Perhaps they are on the showroom section, I'll take a look. Thanks Andy.

True, although have you lifted a worktop lately? Assuming once is involved in this application, of course. .andy

In the stores that I typically go to - Farnborough and sometimes Reading, they are on shelves close to the kitchen showroom section along with the other kitchen fitting bits and bobs for their range like shelf brackets and the like, not with the rest of the general hardware.

Alternatively Screwfix have them - parts 19951 and 14309

Screwfix do a special bracket for fixing cupboards to walls. It allows the cupboard be levelled and pulled tight to the wall . Have a search on their site. They do other brackets also

Thanks to you and Andy for the info. I'll take a look. Reason is, my daughter wants some extra kitchen cabinets and she wants to do it on the cheap (it;s not her house) I can knock up the carcass and the doors, but I had not seen these bracket for some time..

Ensure you have part of the legs [use all 4] under the side panels, otherwise you are relying on a couple of screw & dowels to take the weight of the unit, the worktop & the 18 stone househusband/wife sitting on the worktop

I have seen the results 'beware'

If you are being paid to do this you WILL be sued when it all goes pear shaped.

Do not think the plinth will hold it up, it wont, it tips forward, taking the bottom of the unit with it, so the worktop tilts backwards, the 'sitter' ends up folded in half, trapped between the wall & the back of the unit. When I was told of this when I came to put it right for the 'DIY expert' who did it, I fell about when the 'victim/sitter' told me the sorry tale. I never got the job, 'sad to say' but it was worth the laugh.
