Kitchen Corner post balls up

[cox377]

Hello guys,

I've fitted the all the units and doors awaiting tops to be fitted saturday.

I've got to put the doors on the corner base unit, it's two units put together opposed to a special corner unit.

I need to move the cabinets to get the wall post in but havent yet got the post. Is this reading 52mmeach way, so set the left hand part of the L 52 away from the right unit, and the right unit 52 up?

Thanks in advance

James

The main image in your link is the post that should be attached to one of the doors on the 925mm corner unit. When you have 2 seperate units in a corner, it is often a fixed post that is required. For example, if you have 2 x 1000mm base units turning the corner then the corner post would be attached to the centre post of one cabinet and the edge of the second cabinet would be spaced 57mm (for the post in my link) from the face of the carcass not the door.
If you have cabinets that have had to be custom cut to fit into the corner or are unusually aligned then any centre post/cabinet edge may not be in the correct position to do it this way and the corner post in your link may be the correct one.

Hope that makes sense as it is a bit tricky to explain without being there and seeing the exact situation. It would be much easier to figure out if you had the corner post to hand and would also ensure you have the correct clearaces for the doors but you are basically right in your idea of the spacing - just remember that it is from the face of the carcass and not the face of the adjacent the door.

I think the carpentry section may be the best place if you need more accurate advice.

well I got done by 9, managed to get the cooker back in so I could at least have some dinner

Excellent job!

You do realise that there was no need to rush to get the the cooker in because it is the law that you must live off takeaways when fitting a kitchen!!

Thanks for the info that you got it done.
