Flipping the cabinet - finally done


Recommended Posts

A couple of months ago I posted about wanting to flip the cabinet door above where the coffee pot is. 

It's finally done (almost). Every step was a two person job. Three wonderful people helped me. I dragged my feet a bit because, honestly, I loved having it open. But it was a pain when moving.

Scrapped the old calking and glue off with plastic blades. Cleaned off lingering stuff with acetone.

Removed the door from the frame.

Flipped the frame upside down and glued it back on using 3M 4000 adhesive. Note, the frame is flexible and wanted to sag, getting it right was tough. The door fits tighter than I'd like but it closes.

Screwed the door back on. What a pain. Tiny little screws that aren't magnetic and there is nothing to brace the door on while trying to get the screws started.

Because of the curve of the ceiling, the hook had to be placed out aways. Right now it's just being kept open with a couple of bent paperclips until I figure out what's best to use.

Here's the finished product:
