Default Trying to hang upper cabinets in 100+ yr old brick wall.

I would strongly recommend using the wall hanging bar, which means
you can put in multiple fixings along the row of cabinets, and also
ensures all the cabinets are level.

Yep, the B&Q cabinets come with two ****ing little 2" pieces of that bar
per cabinet, which inevitably need screws where screws don't want to go,
fitting a whole length of bar is much easier.


Yup. Not that impressed with any hanging methods given the weight of stuff
that can be stored in wall cupboards.

Since mine had to fit between a chimney breast and end wall, I ended up
making them using spur shelving uprights with brackets. Multiple fixings
and can take any practical load. And no sagging of the middle shelf.
