I had 6 No. M12 x 200mm bolts and resin anchor to secure it to a 9” high density blockwork wall. This was installed by the main contractor to my template whilst my house was being built, it was very over engineered so it was more likely the floor would collapse in my instance, but it is a risk worth considering. I think having both cabinets cantilevered off the wall fixings in this instance would not be a good idea for strain onto the blockwork/brickwork if only a single skin leaf. Generally having the cabinet fully into a corner fixed on two or three sides makes it very difficult to break off. A battery powered Stihl saw will go though any cabinet like buttery so in this day and age it is all academic really. https://m.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-products-for-every-requirement/Construction-machinery/Cordless-Li-Ion-cut-off-machine/240781-43597/tsa-230-cut-off-machine.aspx This is the skeleton key that will open any cabinet. Keep your cabinet out of sight! Not any cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
