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

Despite this there must be 100,000s of cabinets fixed to the walls with
the supplied fixings and very little reported evidence that they are
falling off walls.

I have the loading figures stored somewhere but can't find them. We
often fitted bookshelves up on office walls and the biggest no no was
the dickheads who insisted on trying to store full boxes of colour
leaflets or A4 stationery on them despite being advised that the
shelving was not built for that as standard.


This is the problem with wall cabinets. Some might fill them with china.
Tinned food, etc. So decent ones would be made and fixed for the very
highest loading possible.

Basically, you try and make them fool and c**t proof.
