attaching legs for shallow base cab
Hi -
I'm using wall cabinets as shallow base cabinets (BS2430 x 2 of them.) How do you attach the akurum legs, seeing as there are no holes...Just drill and screw?

Thanks...

It is easier to cut the tabs off the legs and then screw them to the cabinet.

Re: attaching legs for shallow base cab
That's exactly what I did too; I just installed some "shallow base cabinets" and had the same conundrum. I'm not that suprised that they haven't included a template/jig for drilling the holes yet, but it was easy enough to cut off the tabs, measure a regular base cabinet for spacing, and screw them in place.
