When
it comes to rta kitchen cabinets, with rta standing
for ready to assemble, most professionals might start
to smile a little. With a perception of too much DIY
rta kitchen cabinets are better than one might expect.
Recent improvements on corner and heavy duty connectors
make them as strong as the glued traditional once, which
are usually fully installed by a cabinet maker. Most
often it is the way rta kitchen cabinets are assembled
which makes the difference between the two types.
Overview
on rta connectors
As
you might come across many ways to assemble rta cabinets
and rta furniture, it is most of the time the same
sort of connectors you might come accross. So have
a brief look:
The
rta universal connectorone of the most common
types of cabinet corner connections. With a cam-action
movement inside it not only holds the cabinet sides in
its position, it also forces them together. Just with
a simple screwdriver turning the wheel part the connector
is fixed.
 
The
cross dowel - solid connector is the second kind of
rta kitchen cabinets fittings you might find. Visible
from the rta furniture outside and covered with a cap
nut, it allows a very solid corner connection. Even when
it needs to be dismounted and reassembled it will still
be a strong fit.
 The
third typ of connectors you will find with rta cabinets
is a kitchen counter top connector. Depending
on the manufacturer they pull the two parts of a countertop
together and hold it firmly from below. The only thing
needed is to drill a hole in each part of the kitchen
counter top and cut a small grove to the edge.
Assemble RTA kitchen cabinets correctly
 Whenever
you assemble rta
kitchen cabinets or rta furniture make sure you are equiped
with proper tools. Not just a simple screwdriver, but
also a hammer and some clamps always help. There is
even special assembly equipment available which make
assembly of any rta kitchen very easy. And last but
not least, get yourself some help. An extra hand can
not just be very helpful, it can also help you see
more things whilst mounting your
rta kitchen cabinets.
