Despite
careful measuring, from corners of cabinet exterior, in relation to
the other 3, and from the wall to one side, once drilled, the screw
sites were not entirely accurate. However, I began with the upper
holes and continued to the lower pair.
All
seemed to go well at this stage and so I inserted the wall plugs - or
tried to. The lower righthand corner one did not go in properly, and I had to drill the hole deeper. I also had to hammer them in
gently...
I
then had the task of balancing the hefty cabinet in one hand while
inserting screws with the other. I managed - just. I fixed one screw
in position and wound it in a little way by hand, then screwdriver,
before inserting the other top screw and doing likewise. I then
screwed these in about halfway, or a little further before doing
likewise with the bottom two.
I
did encounter a small problem or two - but once all four had been
screwed in as far as was possible, the closet held firm and secure to
the wall when nudged. The first problem was the upper righthand screw
being at an angle and the second being the lower righthand screw not
meeting the wallplug at all, but it fixed itself into the wall anyways.
The
cabinet was up - and felt secure! It was then time for me to hop off
to the funeral of a neighbor...
