Question Re: AKURUM Wall or Upper cabinet assembly/installation instructions

Thanks for uploading the instructions.
I was wondering on which height the rail has to be mounted on the wall?

Is there a preferred height?, and how far from the top of the cabinet should this be?

Re: AKURUM Wall or Upper cabinet assembly/installation instructions

IIRC the bottom of the rail should be 2 1/2" below where you want the top of the cabinet to be. This article walks you though most of the details: Suspension Rail Installation

Preferred height kinda depends on your particular layout and how high you want the cabinets to be?

Re: AKURUM Wall or Upper cabinet assembly/installation instructions

Thanks for the quick reply. This should get me going.

One more question; what is the max weight the suspension rail can hold? Or more in general, how much weight is a kitchen cabinet suppose to hold? My Gold plated plates can become heavy.

Re: AKURUM Wall or Upper cabinet assembly/installation instructions

Here's a picture of one of the posters about weight limits.

Just about nobody puts anywhere *near* that much in a cabinet.
Run some searches on wall cabinet weight limit and you'll find lots of discussions. Basically use strong ( NOT drywall ) screws to support the suspension rail and you'll be fine.
