Making Adjustment on frameless cabinets!

While we take great care to ensure that your cabinetry arrives in excellent condition, normal shipping and handling can sometimes result in the need for adjustments after installation. Most often, you will find that you (or your contractor) will need to fine-tune your cabinetry after the installation. After all the cabinets have been installed plumb and level, place doors and drawers back on the cabinets. Install doors and make hinge adjustments so reveals between doors and drawers are equal. Make these adjustments before installing pulls or knobs.
INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CABINET DOORS
Your cabinet doors come with easy-release hinges that allow for easy removal and re-attachment without the need for tools.
Detach doors by depressing the release tab shown in the diagrams blow.
Reattach doors by lining the hinge to the mounting plate and applying pressure to the back of the hinge near the release tab. You will hear a click once the latch is re-engaged.
　

ADJUSTING
DOORS
Your Demetra Cabinetry comes with 6-way adjustable hinges. These adjustable hinges allow you to shift the doors left to right, up or down, and in and out as shown in the diagrams below. This allows you to dial in the proper alignment with only a screw driver.

　

ADJUSTING
DRAWER
FRONTS
Drawer fronts can be adjusted for proper alignment. If you are installing handles that will require you to drill through the drawer box, be sure to align the drawer fronts first.
Adjustments are made by loosing the two screws securing the drawer front to the drawer box. Once the screws are loosened, you will be able to move the drawer front up and down, right or left and a few degrees clockwise or counter clockwise. Once you have achieved the desired positioning, tighten the adjustment screws to lock the drawer front into position. To avoid cracking the drawer front or stripping the screws, be careful not to over tighten the screws.

How to Measure Your Kitchen

Many customers have come to us with questions on how to measure a kitchen. It’s quite easy: we basically need the size of your walls. We don’t need sizes or measurements of your existing cabinets; give us your walls and we are good.

To get started, you will need the following:

• measuring tape
• graph paper
• a pencil
• and maybe an extra person to help you out

Step 1

To begin measuring, start at a corner. When you draw your layout, draw it as if you are a fly on the ceiling looking down. (See example above.) Make sure to account for measurements of any obstacles such as soffits or beams that could impede cabinet space as well.

Measure horizontally.

1. Measure the length of the wall from one end to the other.
2. Measure from the wall to the window jamb.
3. Measure the window or opening with the jamb.
4. Mark location of your center lines for water, drain, gas, and exhaust.

Measure vertically.

1. Measure the height from floor to window sill.
2. Measure the height of your window or opening.
3. Measure from window jamb to ceiling.
4. Measure from floor to ceiling and calculate to make sure all the numbers total the same amount.

Step 2

Take note of the location of your appliances and provide us with basic dimensions:

1. Is it a cooktop or a free standing range? How wide is it?
2. Fridge height and width
3. Wine fridge width
4. Dishwasher width
5. Trash compactor width
6. Etc.

Step 3

Bring your layout and measurements to our showroom for a free consultation and a free quote. We can discuss layout options that will best maximize your space and meet your specific needs.
