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!

Good advice - assuming the units have a bottom rail - cheaper ones dont.
