Base Cabinets & Countertop

Episode 6 covers how to install the base cabinets from NewAge products. Additionally, this episode covers how to install a custom butcher block countertop over the cabinets.

Wall Mounted Based Cabinets

If you’re looking to install base cabinets off of the floor, you’ve come to the right place!

This episode covers installing the NewAge Pro 3.0 5-Drawer Tool Cabinet, 2-Door Base Cabinet, and Multifunction cabinet. All cabinets are wall mounted rather than floor mounted.

The video for the sink installation can be found here.

The steps for installing are:

  1. Mark your cabinet boundary locations with tape so you can then mark stud locations within those boundaries.
  2. 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.
  3. When installing the lockers, grab a helper. Furniture dollies come in very handy as do long posts for prying the cabinets up onto the wall brackets.
  4. Now install all cabinets before bolting them together with the supplies bolts from NewAge).
  5. Finish the cabinets by fastening the cabinets to the walls (into the studs) using the supplies lag screws.
  6. Finally add a counter top to finish it off!
