Cabinet installation Gurus needed
I completely remodeled the kitchen in one of my condos and I have drawn a blank. How do you install the toe kick on the bottom of the cabinets without showing any screws? Only thing I can think is to glue it. Help me.

I use a brad nailer then a touch of color matched wood putty or a color stick. Actually with the brad nailer the holes are so small you really don't even need to fill them.

I would also use a brad nailer.
However, good old Elmer's wood glue does an awesome job itself.

Terry,
You can probably find hardware for this application at a cabinet builders supply house. Hafele makes at least one design of snap-on connectors that would work. Ed |
