Even it is impossible to call empty hinged cabinets lungs, and filled with contents – ware, books and so forth – they become very heavy. Therefore it is necessary to treat their fastening responsibly. It is better to spend several excess hours for reliable fastening, than to collect then the broken ware and the broken regiments.
It is required to you
- – electric drill;
- – pobeditovy drill;
- – epoxy resin;
- – dowel, screws or nails;
- – ruler;
- – hammer;
- – screw-driver;
- – plumb.
Instruction
1. Set hinged cabinet to that position in which it has to be, being fixed. Substitute under it table, chairs, various linings (books, boards and so forth). Check vertical position of sidewalls on plumb.
2. Plan marker or center punch on opening wall for drilling – on openings in cabinet brackets. Sometimes the last have the form of skittle. It is necessary to plan places for drilling in this case on the center of semi-circle of upper part of openings. If openings have the form of horizontal groove, openings are outlined on its center. Having finished marking, remove cabinet from wall.
3. Sometimes brackets do not act over the top wall of cabinet that deprives of opportunity to plan on them openings. In this case note marker on wall two corners of cabinet – two-shaped contours. Then measure distance from cabinet corners (two sizes on axes X and U) to openings in brackets and transfer these sizes to wall. Thus, at you the marking of two openings on wall has to turn out. Surely measure distance between these marks and compare it to distance between openings on cabinet. If they do not coincide, bring the first into accord with the second. The size between openings has to be observed surely.
4. Pick up fixing anchors on which the cabinet will be hung. Purchased dowels, screws or nails can act as them. Diameter of anchors (screws, nails) has to be 1-1.5 mm less, than bracket groove width. Length of part which will be deepened in wall has to be not less than 40 mm for stone wall and not less than 50-60 mm for wooden. Check whether there passes the hat of anchors in bracket opening. If is not present, grind it file or on the sharpening machine.
5. It is the simplest to hang up cabinet on wooden wall. Nails it is hammered into it without any preparation. Under screws openings are drilled by drill which diameter is 1.5-2 mm less, than diameter of screw. Openings under dowels are drilled on diameter of plastic plug.
6. Most often it is necessary to hang up cabinet on stone wall. In this case drill in it openings electric drill with pobeditovy drill on depth not less than 40 mm diameter equal to diameter of plastic plug – when using dowels. If you use nail or screw as anchor, the diameter of bore has to be 2-3 mm more than their diameter. Openings with a diameter of 10 mm are usually drilled.
7. After drilling blow openings pear or the pump – to clean them from dust and crumb. When using purchased dowels, hammer into openings of stopper and wrap in them metal rod – screw or the screw. When using nails or screws apply glue (chemical) way of seal – by means of epoxy resin.
8. Mix epoxy resin with hardener in the ratio, specified in the instruction, and fill with it openings on 2/3. Rotational motion and easy percussion insert into openings anchors on necessary depth. Cover the place of entrance of anchor to wall with pitch and remove its drips from wall. Before hanging up cabinet, give time to pitch to harden – about one day.
