Install Kitchen Cabinets On The Level

You will want to check your four foot level for accuracy before you begin to install kitchen cabinets. By doing this, you will be sure of a quality and accurate installation.

So, the best way to insure that your cabinet installation will be started off on the right foot, I suggest that you visit your local rental store and rent a laser level. You will be assured of the most accurate level line possible. You can set up the laser level in a matter of a few minutes, and once you have determined the high point of your kitchen floor, you can shoot the laser line at that height. This is when you can go around the corners of the walls and mark the level line locations. You can then go around and connect all of the laser marks that you transferred with a chalk line. However, you will want to be sure of one thing here. Pull the chalk line as tight as possible to make sure that the line is not sagging in the middle. This will ensure that the line is not sagging in the center. Once you have snapped the chalk lines, you can go back with the laser level and double check the chalk lines. Now, if you do not have a rental store nearby, then you can use a four foot level to get the same results. But, you will need to be extra careful here and pay close attention to detail to ensure that the lines that you draw are accurate. So, once you have determined the high point of the floor, you can measure up thirty four and a half inches at the high point and use your level to draw the lines around the kitchen. If at all possible, have someone else help you with holding the other end of the level while you level it up and draw the level lines along the walls. After you have finished drawing the lines around the kitchen, flip the level end for end and reverse what you have just done. This is where you are going to find out for sure if the level is accurate and calibrated correctly. Only if the lines match up when you go back around the kitchen in reverse will the line be perfectly level. If the lines do not match up, your level is not accurate, and you will have to purchase a new one or have it recalibrated. This is the reason why I suggest that if at all possible you rent a laser level, or borrow one from a neighbor. It will save you some time at the beginning stages of the installation, but it will be the very best way to give you level lines to start with. Just remember that this step is like the foundation of a house. The entire process will be compromised if this step is not done correctly.
