re longer process, it has to be longer than L brackets as you have to drill through the back brace to allow you to drill the wall.
there are a few kitchens that it won't work on properly i.e. hardback board kitchens, cheep ones.
I myself would buy them to have it the van for the stud wall fixings.
can they extend to bring the units off the wall say 20mm, thinking for my granite jobs i like to have a wider top if possible.
Thanks Prem can I answer one at a time.
How many? Couldn't agree more - these are ideal for bolting your run together level and just pin where you feel appropriate - 8 base units on average - 12/14? Makes it less than 50p difference.
Longer? Although you have to drill the cab - you dont have to attach the brackets - so whilst most of us carry a quality screw box for decent size stuff we all end up trying to attach the brackets with crappy single thread 12mm screws that come in the bag and dont want to bite in melamine! Also more often than not you'll chuck one in the middle over one on each ear. So reducing the number of cycles too.
Stud walls? Not getting this bit mate! why more appropriate for stud walls? I'm desperate to know!!!
Off wall adjustment? You can over adjust, so if you were to need to shim a cab off the wall you can do away with the shims with these - not sure you'd want to bring them off 20mm though - but could be possible.
Most important - thanks for your support mate - I am just an ordinary fitter trying to make something happen - so cheers very much indeed!
