So are there any similar devices that work in the siuation I have
described? The adjustability is so nice! The load is nowhere near the
same as a laden kitchen cupboard so a light device would probably be fine.


One non-adjustable but nonetheless convenient method: fix a L-shaped aluminum
strip to the wall, level, width of the cabinet, where the bottom of the cabinet
will be. With a helper, lift the cabinet onto the strip, adjust sideways
position. Drill through the back into the wall in the top inside, screw to wall.
Add two small screws from the bottom through the aluminum strip into body for a
bit of belts-and-braces.

This is similar to what I do.

Essentially use a level to fix a strip of thin wood to support the
cabinet top.

Then as long as the cabinet is screwed to the wall, it won't fall down.
