Pick Up
- Make sure that the vehicle is large enough to fit the cabinets without damaging
- Bring lots of blankets! We only wrap our cabinets with shrink wrap when it is a local delivery or a pick up. We also use blankets to transport them when we do our deliveries.
- Give us 1 hour's heads up before you come to pick up your cabinets. We are happy to provide a helping hand.
- Please inspect the cabinets before loading. Any damage reported afterwards will not be covered under warranty.
Installation
We highly recommend hiring a professional installer as that will ensure that the cabinets are properly secured. This is an investment that will expand the lifetime of your cabinets.
A few recommendations on how to install MKE Cabinets are:
- Always make sure there is no plumbing or electrical in the area that you will screw your cabinets.
- Because all our backs are thick, you can screw them directly into studs with the proper length of cabinet screws (with a large head). A common length is 2.5"-3”, but this depends on your specific case.
- Sometimes it is a good idea to screw the cabinets together before screwing them into the walls. We recommend using 1.25" cabinet screws for this purpose.
- Do not forget to level your cabinets!
- Follow our instructions to install fillers, crown carriers and toe kicks.
- Follow our instructions to install floating shelves.
How to Take Care of Your New MKE Cabinets
- Constant light cleanup is the best approach.
- Use a microfiber cloth with a small amount of warm water to wipe out any stains.
- Do not use any harsh chemicals on your cabinets.
- We recommend paying special attention to cleaning trash pullouts, sink cabinets and hood cabinets for water damage or grease marks.
