Beyond Bending Tell You How
Are you tired of reaching into the back of your cabinets for that one elusive spice jar or pan? A lazy susan can be a great solution to this problem, providing easy access to all your kitchen essentials. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of installing a lazy susan in your cabinets.
Step 1: Measure Your Cabinet
The first step in installing a lazy susan is to measure your cabinet. Measure the height and width of the cabinet, as well as the distance from the back of the cabinet to the front edge of the face frame. This will help you determine the size of the lazy susan you need to purchase.
Step 2: Purchase Your Lazy Susan
Once you have your measurements, it’s time to purchase your lazy susan. You can find these at most hardware or home improvement stores, or you can order them online. Make sure to choose a lazy susan that is the appropriate size for your cabinet.
Step 3: Remove the Cabinet Shelves
Before installing the lazy susan, you’ll need to remove the existing shelves from your cabinet. This can usually be done by unscrewing any brackets or supports that are holding the shelves in place.
Step 4: Install the Lazy Susan Base
Next, you’ll need to install the lazy susan base. This will typically involve attaching a mounting plate to the bottom of the cabinet, and then attaching the base to the mounting plate. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific lazy susan.
Step 5: Install the Lazy Susan Shelves
Once the base is in place, it’s time to install the lazy susan shelves. These will typically come with brackets or supports that attach to the base. Again, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific lazy susan.
Step 6: Adjust the Shelves
After the shelves are installed, you may need to adjust them to ensure they rotate smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 7: Test the Lazy Susan
Once everything is installed, give your lazy susan a test spin to make sure it’s working properly. It should rotate smoothly and easily, and there should be no wobbling or shaking.
Step 8: Reinstall the Cabinet Doors
If you removed your cabinet doors, now is the time to reinstall them. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific cabinet doors.
Step 9: Enjoy Your New Lazy Susan
Congratulations, you’ve successfully installed a lazy susan in your cabinet! Enjoy the convenience of easy access to all your kitchen essentials.
