When it comes to fixing kitchen wall cabinets securely, it’s important to ensure you’re using components that stand the test of time. There are a variety of options available when it comes to assembling and fixing a cabinet.

Here are some of the ways you can ensure a safe and effective assembly and installation of kitchen wall cabinets. 

The best fixings for kitchen wall cabinet assembly

When assembling kitchen cabinets, safety and effectiveness should always be prioritised. Kitchen cabinets are designed to store potentially heavy items like dishes, pans, and small appliances, and are generally subject to frequent use. Long-lasting and secure components are important, as an improperly assembled cabinet can lead to misalignment or even collapse. This is particularly true in the case of a wall cabinet, which could present a safety risk to the homeowner if it were to collapse and fall from a height.

Effective cabinet assembly saves money and time in the long run; using poor-quality components means that future repairs or replacements may be required. The right components ensure cabinets are built to last and require minimal maintenance and upkeep.

At Titus, we manufacture components that ensure kitchen cabinets are stable and safe to use. Here are two of our best-selling components that make kitchen wall cabinet assembly straightforward and effective.

Quickfit TL5 Dowel

Our Quickfit TL5 Dowel is designed with strength and performance in mind and is another great option for fixing a kitchen wall cabinet. It delivers consistently reliable connections in all common wood-based materials, including MDF, chipboard and solid wood, all without the need for additional wooden dowels.

We have precision-engineered the Quickfit TL5 Dowel to make sure it is highly tolerant to misalignment. When using it to assemble kitchen cabinets, simply insert, without tools, into a 5mm dowel hole and the expanding sleeve will grip the material, providing a reliable and tight joint even with drilling inaccuracies.
