Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today
i'm just going to explain how the bracket works on a Howdens kitchen wall
cabinet this is so you can adjust the cabinet up and down
and in and out against the wall just so you can tighten it up after you've fitted it,
right let's get cracking, this is the Howdens kitchen wall cabinet here and
what i'll do is i'll show you how the bracket actually works so that we can
undo it and remove the cabinet from the wall very easily,
once it's off the wall i'll show you how to do all the adjustments and how they
actually work and then we'll hang the cabinet back on
the wall and do all the adjustments so it's nice and level and tight against
the wall. I am inside the kitchen cabinet here and
what you've got in each corner is you've got these adjustment brackets, now the
top screw here the one at the front if you turn that anti-clockwise it moves
the cabinet further away from the wall if you turn it clockwise it tightens it
up against the wall and that is how you do the adjustments, and the one
underneath if you turn that clockwise it makes the cabinet higher on this side
if you turn it anti-clockwise it makes the cabinet lower on this side,
we want to move the cabinet further away from the wall so that we can
actually remove it so do that by turning this screw
anti-clockwise and also do the same on the other side
obviously, so turn that anti-clockwise and this is basically moving the cabinet
further away from the wall so that you can lift it up and lift it
down now these Howdens kitchen cabinets hang
like a picture frame so it literally just hangs on a bracket
so what you're doing is you're just lifting it upwards and outwards,
now this would obviously be a lot easier with two people one on either end but
i'm just doing this by myself and there we go it's down
on the kitchen surface, and it's pretty heavy so just be very
careful, these are the claws which just sit at the back of the cabinet and these
are what are adjustable so these literally
just hang on the brackets that you've got on the wall, now the good thing about
this is when you're hanging the brackets obviously you want those
virtually level but if they're not exactly level which is really tricky
when you're drilling into a concrete wall
that is why you can make the adjustments on the actual cabinet,
let's just open the doors again to get to the adjustment brackets
and i'll show you how these work,
so this one underneath here is how you adjust the kitchen cabinet up and down
so you can get it level on either end now while i'm doing this if i
just go around the other side and show you how that works, you're
basically turning this bolt and that moves that claw
up and down so that it adjusts the height when it's sitting on the bracket
on the wall, and there's a link above now about how
to fix your sticking curtains on your curtain rails if they're really sticky and
it's really hard to close and open them,
now this one here at the front as i explained earlier
by tightening this you're moving it closer to the wall and by
undoing it turning it anti-clockwise you're
moving it further away from the wall so that you can then remove it from the
wall, so if i turn that whilst filming the
actual claws you'll be able to see it moving
just so it explains how it works,
so i'm tightening this up turning it clockwise
and it's bringing that claw in which is obviously
bringing the cabinet closer to the wall so when you're going to be hanging it
back up on the wall what you need to do is turn these
front screws on either side anti-clockwise quite a long way
this will make sure the claw is sticking out quite a long way
and that way when you're lifting up against the wall it can
easily hang on the brackets, it's much easier to do that when they're sticking
out further, you can see on that one it's now
sticking out much further now it's time to bust some blood vessels
again, again if you've got two people it'll be a lot
easier but i'm just here on my own
i'm just lifting it up and trying to get it on those brackets,
it just hangs like a picture frame once they're actually hung on those brackets
then we'll do the adjustments to make sure
that it's level, we'll use a spirit level and then we'll tighten it closer to the
wall, whilst i'm doing this there's a link
above now about how to clean your uPVC window frames
so they stay clean.
Fabulous that is now on but it's quite a long way away from the wall
and this is now when we do our adjustments
so it's sitting on the bracket okay but it's quite away from the wall
i'll just get my spirit level and you need to put the spirit level
on either end and in the middle, obviously cabinets do twist
so you're never going to get it completely level all the way across
but as good as you can get it,
let's put it on this end as well see that ends looking pretty good but
the other end is a bit skew-whiff
so we need to make some adjustments on the height on the right hand side
right let's get back inside the cabinet
and i'm turning this screw anti-clockwise which means this
side of the cabinet is going to be lower it's going to bring the level down lower
which is what we want, just keep the spirit level
on the top while you're turning that anti-clockwise and that bubble
should gradually move to the centre,
now this is on the other side i'm just making a quick adjustment to this side
now we're back on the right hand side again
still needs to go down a little bit,
so a few more turns anti-clockwise just to lower the cabinet on the right hand
side and once we've done that level we can
then tighten it up against the wall, what we can do now is we can tighten it
up against the wall so this front screw here
we're turning clockwise and that is pulling the cabinet up against the wall,
now i suggest you do it slowly on either side don't tighten one end really tight
and then go and do the other end just do them gradually
so that you're pulling the whole cabinet parallel against the wall,
so on the left hand side here we're just turning this one clockwise
it's bringing that closer to the wall, there's a link above now about how to
check your car fuses without having to pull them out
using a multimeter really handy tip. Right it's bringing that closer to the
wall
a few more turns and there we go look nice and tight flush up against the wall,
just need to do a bit of touching up with the white paint there and that is
the Howdens kitchen cabinet and how the adjustment brackets work,
i hope that was useful to you and after all that hard work it is definitely time
for a lovely cup of tea!
