Where To Mount:
Towel Bars are mounted at
the approximate height of 52 inches above finished floor. Towel
bars over the toilet are elevated to accommodate the towel lengths.
A towel bar or towel
ring is mounted approximately 16 to 18 inches above the
countertop.
A toilet paper holder is
mounted at the approximate height of 27 inches above finished floor.
A grab bar is mounted
approximately 33 to 36 inches above finished floor. Wood backing
is imperative for a secure mount to support the weight
specifications. Never attempt to install a grab bar where no
backing exists, such as directly to drywall.
A cabinet pull or knob
is generally put where the customer requests, however the most common
location is 4 inches from the bottom or top of the cabinet door.
A cabinet pull or knob is centered in the drawer front. If the
drawer is 24 inches or 30 inches in width, it is recommended that two
knobs or pulls be located on these drawers. If the drawer is 10
inches to 12 inches in depth, two knobs or pulls are recommended due
to the weight generally put in these drawers.
A door knob or lever
is mounted at 36 inches above finished floor.
A deadbolt is 4 inches or
6 inches above the latchset or the lockset.
What to Mount
With:
Cabinet hardware is generally
supplied with 8/32 size screws if it is American made. A
standard 1 inch screw is supplied which is perfect for cabinet doors
only.
Cabinet drawers come in various
depths. The average drawer depth measurement is 3/4 inch for the
drawer box and 3/4 inch for the door front. This indicates the
screw length needs to be longer to accommodate the difference. A
measurement of the drawer box and front is needed to provide the
correct screws.
Cabinet hardware that is made in
Europe is metric. The (M4) size screw is provided at a 1 3/16
inch length. Again, this will work for cabinet doors but not
drawers.
Bath accessories generally are
sent with poor hollow wall anchors. We suggest the "zip
it" type in zinc, plastic or poly toggle. Sometimes if the
drywall or plaster is in bad shape, we will consider a regular spring
toggle as a last resort.
