Garage Cabinet Installation
Time to install the garage cabinets. Episode 4 covers how to install the locker and wall cabinets from NewAge Products. There are good tips here for installing multiple adjacent cabinets. And don’t miss the little trick that makes moving the locker cabinets a breeze!
Cabinet Installation Instructions
Things really get rolling once the garage cabinets arrive. I start by installing all the wall cabinets. Base cabinets will be done later so I have room to maneuver when installing the Wall Control Pegboard under the wall cabinets.
This episode covers installing the NewAge Pro 3.0 Multi-use Lockers (on the wall) and Wall Cabinets.
The steps for installing are:
- Mark your cabinet boundary locations with tape so you can then mark stud locations within those boundaries.
- Next, install the wall brackets using a drill, driver, and torpedo level. HINT: When installing multiple cabinets in a row, install all brackets first using a long level to keep them the same height.
- Grab a helper when installing the wall lockers. Furniture dollies come in very handy as do long posts for prying the cabinets up onto the wall brackets.
- Be sure to install all cabinets before bolting them together with the supplied bolts from NewAge.
- Finally, fasten the cabinets to the walls (into the studs) using the supplies lag screws.
Grab an assistant because these garage cabinets are bulky and heavy!
