I just dismantled a kitchen for a deep clean....
Currently putting it back together.
Question: The cupboards all hang on hooks that are well secured to the wall. But, I noticed that the stand alone wall cupboards have two further screws near the bottom that screw straight through the back into the wall. I assume as further anchor points.
However, on the run of wall cupboards where multiple carcasses are screwed together, only the central one has the two further anchor screws. The smaller cupboards either side, don't. They just have the top wall hooks.
Is this acceptable/normal?
Edit:
The run of cupboards is 2.4m
The central unit with the extra screws is 1m long.
It has two further units to it's left, one is 0.5m the other is 0.6m.
It has one unit to it's right which is 0.3m long.
As I said, all of these are fixed together to make one long run.
