We design our RTA kitchen cabinets to be easy and safe to assemble, with nothing more than a screwdriver\u2014and a little wood glue if you want, but you don\u2019t have to. Even so, there are some safety tips that can make sure both you, and your cabinets, make it through the project unscathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the most part, if you\u2019re like most of our customers, you\u2019ll be able to assemble<\/em> your new cabinets by yourself. Of course, having a partner or friend to help out and keep you company is never a bad thing, but they really are so easy to put together that you can do it alone if you have to. Installing<\/em> them, on the other hand, is a whole other matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s one inescapable truth: quality is heavy. Hardwood is heavy. RTA cabinets<\/a> are heavy<\/em>. Don\u2019t try to install them alone. Even if you can figure out some way to precariously balance your wall cabinets on something while you screw them in, it isn\u2019t safe, and you\u2019re likely to make mistakes. You need at least one other person to help you hang the wall cabinets, at the very least. Two wouldn\u2019t be a terrible idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have family, friends, or neighbors who can help you out, consider hiring a local handyman for an afternoon. You, your fingers, your back, and your RTA cabinets, will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re getting tired, especially if you\u2019re shaky or your judgement is starting to get impaired, stop and rest, and continue later. Similarly, if you get into your kitchen remodel, and find water damage to walls, or wiring that\u2019s exposed or damaged, stop; unless you\u2019re an electrician or a plumber, these are things you probably don\u2019t want to mess around with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That being said, most of our customers can assemble and install their cabinets in just a day or two, and according to our consumer reviews and customer testimonials, many have a great time doing it! Just one further caveat\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every great DIY home improvement expert has thought at some point that they could just wing it, and learn as they go. For this, trust us, reading and following the instructions is a good idea. We\u2019ve experimented and designed the perfect method for assembling our cabinets safely and efficiently, so our advice? Stick to what works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, remember, we\u2019re available to help if you need us. Our kitchen design experts<\/a> are experienced at designing kitchens, and familiar with all of our model lines. Call if you need advice or instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKnow Your Limits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
