How to install kitchen cabinets? Detailed kitchen kitchen cabinet installation method and process

Kitchen cabinets are popular with consumers because of their popularity and practicality. General kitchen cabinet installations are completed by manufacturers or merchants. Therefore, few consumers will understand these, but Xiaobian wants to tell everyone that they understand the kitchen kitchen. The installation method and process of the cabinet can greatly improve the installation quality of kitchen cabinets. Today, we will look at the installation methods and procedures of kitchen cabinets with Xiaobian, for your reference.

First, explain the cabinet design

The panels used in the cabinet installation, various hardware, etc. are very numerous and are easily confused. In addition, the installation design requires the guidance of the cabinet design drawings because it is not easy to install due to installation or damage during installation. The cabinet design details the dimensions of the individual components and the panel layout of the cabinets. There are also reminders about the kitchen plumbing and the location where nails cannot be nailed.

Second, the preparation of cabinets before installation

1, cabinet installation sequence instructions

Cabinet installation is generally performed by two chefs. In addition to the installation of cabinets, cabinets, and countertops, the installation process of the hood is also added. The division of labor is a master's drilling and installation in the kitchen. Another master assembles the cabinet cabinets to be installed on the walkway outside the kitchen. The installation of wall cabinets, floor cabinets, etc. are staggered. Generally speaking, the cabinets are installed first, then the hood is installed, and then the countertops are installed.

2, installation materials and tools

Cabinet plate: including cabinet plate and door panel, is the main material of the cabinet. According to the design drawings, cabinet makers produce various plates required for assembling a set of cabinets. In addition, the mounting holes of the connector are basically already laid on the plate.

Accessories: In the cabinet installation process, the most used accessories mainly include wood tips, two-in-one connectors, plastic expansion bolts, screws of various sizes, hanging codes, hinges, handles, floor feet, and various decorative covers ( White caps, hanging code caps, row hole caps, etc.).

Tools: In the cabinet installation process, the tools used are mainly jig saws for cutting, impact drills for drilling, electric drills for drilling nails, and conventional rulers, marking pens, and hammers and screwdrivers. As well as sealants for seals and sanders that may be needed for countertop installation.

Third, hanging cabinet connection method

Hanging cabinets, as the name implies, are cabinets that are hung up. They are usually fixed to the wall by means of fasteners. The cabinet installation must ensure safety and ensure that the cabinet will not fall in later use. Here's how to fix the wall cabinet to the wall.

Wall drilling + mounting hanging piece

At the beginning of the installation, the installation position of the hanging cabinet hanging piece was determined in the kitchen using a ruler, and then a percussive drill was used to drill a hole in the concrete wall surface, and the depth of the hole was approximately the same as the length of the screw used later. Then, the expansion helix is ​​inserted into the hole, and the function of the middle helix is ​​twisted when drilling, so that the middle screw expands the outer wall of the tube, extrudes the wall of the hole that has been hit in advance, and makes use of the friction force to make it not easy to fall off. The nails that were later hit into the wall were more closely connected. After inserting the expansion bolts, use a knife to flatten the protruding part and fix the hanging piece. Each piece of hanging piece was drilled with two electric screws to fix it.

Hanging cabinet assembly

It is similar to the hanging cabinet plate or the floor cabinet plate, and the connection methods are similar. Generally, they are connected by three kinds of connecting pieces.

1, wood connection

In the cabinet installation, a large number of short and thick round wood tips were used for the connection of plates and plates. Although the wood tip is not like a solid steel nail, etc., but the wood tip can make the plate no loose feeling, the connection is more tight.

2. Two-in-one connector connection

The two-in-one connector consists of a pull rod and an eccentric. In addition to the wooden joints between the plates, a two-in-one connector is added to ensure that the connection is not loose. The feature of the two-in-one connector is that it can withstand greater pulling force. Because the pitch is large, there will be no damage to the board hole, and the multiple times of disassembly will not affect the firmness. The plate has been pre-installed with mounting holes. When it is installed, the rod is first installed into the corresponding mounting hole. Then the plate is connected, and then the eccentric is attached. The eccentric is rotated with a screwdriver to fix it.

3, screw connection

In some areas, in order to ensure that the plate connection is absolutely safe, it is also used to fix the screws with an electric drill. The screws used are mainly wood screws, which are easier to join with wood than other nails.

Mounting cabinet

1, install hanging code

During the connection of the hanging cabinet plate, the hanging code must also be installed in due course. Hanging code is the most important hardware for connecting a wall cabinet to a wall. The cabinet installation uses a clear hanging yard. The lifting code first needs to be nailed to the corresponding hanging cabinet position.

2, fixed cabinet

The hanging cabinet's hanging code is buckled onto the previously mentioned hanging piece, and then the tool is used to fasten the screw so that the hanging cabinet can be simply fixed to the wall surface.

Four, floor cabinet assembly

The cabinet installation should be relatively easy and labor-saving compared to the cabinet. Because the cabinet does not need to be fixed on the wall, it needs to be assembled and put into place. Let's take a look at the installation process of the cabinet.

Cabinet installation preparation

Before the cabinet is installed, it is necessary to clean the corresponding parts so as to avoid leaving a clean corner after the later installation.

Cabinet cabinet assembly

The cabinet cabinet assembly is complicated. The connection method between the plates is the same as the cabinet cabinet assembly, and they are connected by wood tips, two-in-one connectors and screws.

However, the floor of the cabinet is rather special. The wallboard and floor of the floor cabinet are different from other floorboards, the wallboard is a thin dampproof board, and the floorboard is provided with a moistureproof film. In addition, the bar in front of the cabinet is also a non-woody bar. In addition, if the wooden section is not waterproof, special waterproof strips must be provided. This is also done to prevent the water on the countertops from immersing into the cabinet door panels during the later use process, causing rot and damage to the cabinets.

Floor cabinet installation

If the cabinet cabinet does not directly touch the ground, it is connected to the ground through the foot. Then, after the cabinet cabinet body is assembled, it is turned over and a mounting hole is pre-punched on the base plate, the floor fittings are put on, and then the screws are used to fix it, and finally the anchor rod is tightened.

Floor cabinet cutting

The floor cabinets in the sink area cannot be directly placed because of the blocking of the inlet and outlet pipes. Therefore, the floor plate needs to be cut. The tools used for cutting are mainly jig saws.

Before cutting, you need to accurately measure various sizes of data, and then turn the cabinet over and draw the cutting size on the back of the bottom panel. When cutting, care should be taken to open the hole from the opposite side. When the front of the drill bit is exposed, operate it from the front to the inside to keep the two sides from collapsing.

Connection between cabinet cabinets

In order to prevent the movement between the cabinets, it is also necessary to connect them. The connection method is to drill nails into the corresponding mounting holes. When fixed, attention should be paid to prevent the board from collapsing.

Fifth, cabinet door and countertop installation process

After the cabinets, cabinet cabinets, and hoods are installed, the cabinets, cabinet partitions, and door panels of the cabinets are installed. Take a look below.

Countertop installation

Before being shipped from the factory, the countertops have been cut according to the shapes of the cabinets, so when installing, simply place them on the corresponding cabinets. The interface between the two countertops needs to be ground with an angle grinder until the joints are completely in line. Then use glue to pour into the joints. After the glue is cured, polish the excess glue with a sander.

Cabinet partition installation

If cabinet cabinets are not designed with push-pull cabinets, only the installation partitions separate the cabinet space, and only the cabinets of the cabinets are fitted with partitions. It can be seen from the figure that a lot of mounting holes are pre-printed on the two vertical plates of the cabinet cabinet. When installing, only two corresponding holes are needed, and the mounting holes are selected according to the proportion of the required space. For other mounting holes, to prevent the cabinet from getting wet, use a hole cap to plug it.

After the mounting hole is selected, one of the split connectors is fixed to the corresponding mounting hole, and then the split connector 2 is installed at the corresponding position on the partition. Then, the partition member is installed with the connecting member facing the separate connector on the cabinet body, and the knocker closes and fixes it.

Slot installation

There is still a gap between the wall of the cabinet and the wall of the wall cabinet, which has been equipped with slats and needs to be installed. Before installation, first fix the slats and plates with glue and then apply a sealant. Then insert it into the corresponding gap, and then use tools to fix the slats on the other side of the cabinet.

Cabinet door installation

1, the last remaining cabinet opening and closing door panel installation. A hinge is used between the cabinet door and the cabinet body. Before the installation, the hinge is first fixed to the corresponding mounting hole of the door panel.

2. Then, the door panel is corresponding to the cabinet body. The height of all the door panels keeps the lower edge of the door panel and the lower edge of the box flat. Then use the tool to fix the door hinge to the cabinet. After the door is leveled, all hinges are hinged.

3. In order to reduce the vibration and noise generated when opening and closing the door panels of the cabinet, in the end, sound-absorbing plastic parts were installed on the door panel and the cabinet body.

Door handle installation

The handle of the hanging cabinet door is horizontal, while the cabinet is vertical. This is also for convenience of opening and closing. After the handles are fastened and installed, cabinet installation is complete.
