they are the standard ones with a plastic thing that screws into the
top corners from the inside, and has 2 screws for adjustment. the
sticking out bit is right next to the side panels of the cabinet. my
question is, do you have to position the wall brackets exactly, so
that they will not get in the way when you adjust the cabinet position
back against the wall. ie level it up, bring the top into the wall
instead of sticking out. this seems strange to me as it would be
hanging the cabinets on the outside edge of the brackets.

if anyone know what im talking about please reply!

These are standard with most kitchen units, the plasitc fitting has a two
pronged 'claw' that hooks over the brackets. All the units I've fitted
had instructions with the right measurements & offsets. You have about
6mm sideways play each side and about the same up & down.

Essentially they need to go just inside the side panels. Turn the
adjusting screws so that the claws protrude as much as possible, hook the
cabinet over the brackets, then turn the screws so its pulled back almost
flush with the wall. Use the other adjusting screw to level it, then
finally pull it right back to the wall.


Not quite "finally" (at least on my MFI Schreiber ones) - after you have
sorted out the brackets and adjustment, don't forget to whack some sturdy
screws through the bottom "rail" into the wall as well!
