Thread: He designing a hanging wall cabinet.

The cleat morticed in to the sides will be strong enough just leave 100/200 mm siting above.
And sit back admiring your handy work
If unsure over engineer is my motto
A little more on timber a little less anxiety.

Just to clarify ae you saying to make the cleat 100-200mm high or locate it 100-200mm down from the top?

Sorry Dale
I would make the cleat say 120mm that's a standard off the shelf pine from Bunnings I think.
And set them down from the top by say 200mm
So infect u have 200mm of the cupboard side bearing( pushing down) on the cleat.
Or the other option is contact me through my email and book me for the job
Rate would be say 100 hand made saws (my design)plus a life time supply of saw stuff I need
If that seems fair lol

My main concern is the cleat and back sitting on the wall and the rest of the cabinet smashed on the floor. I want to be confident the back is firmly attached and won't flex or bow and pull out.

I take it you mean the groove in the left hand side into which the boards are captive in, it's one way to go and as far as I can see would be OK, as long as there's room for each board to move width ways.

From looking at BP's cab the cleat is hard up against the top so as long as it is fixed to stop it from coming out (screws) for the cleat to fail it would have to shear off the tails/pins in the top/side joint.
