Attaching Ikea Cabinets To Each Other

I put a minimum of two screws in each one about 1 5 inches from the top and bottom of the face frame opening.

Attaching ikea cabinets to each other.

If you have limited wall space you could instead build the besta cabinets vertically. When attaching them to each other though should i be using construction adhesive as well or just screws. Ikea forums warn not to use drills when attaching screws but unless you want to spend months on just the cabinet assembly i say use the drill. What about spacing of the screws or does that matter.

It s stupid and it s pointless and anyone with common sense knows to distribute the nails throughout so that the back of the cabinet is attached evenly. Cabinets 24 inches or taller always get three screws connecting the face frames. But i didn t like the attachment kit that came with the cabinets. Just don t screw it in too.

Stacking bestå cabinets an alternative sturdier method. To attach them you use the double sided pads and metal clips provided in the besta package. And are there any particular screws i should be using. I use two clamps to squeeze the cabinet frames together.

Attaching besta cabinets vertically. I ll see if i can dig up some photos of that part of the process but any ikea kitchen specialist should be able to explain it and point you to the right parts. This blue floating wall unit in the picture was made by attaching two three door cabinets in 15 and 25 1 4 on top of each other. I wanted to stack 4 bestå cabinets on top of each other and attach them together to make them very stable.

I then drill the screw pilot holes. I have some 1 1 4 deck screws on hand.
