Height Of Garage Cabinet Mounting

Since both base cabinets and wall-mounted storage units must meet these requirements, ordinary garage cabinets are often built using kitchen cabinet dimensions.

If you purchase new or secondhand storage cabinets, you will very certainly get the standard kitchen cabinet sizes, even if the cabinets are for your garage. Consider where and how you'll connect cabinet units if you want to install them in your garage.

 

Dimensions Of Mounting

96 inches from the floor's surface to the top of the cabinets is the standard mounting height for cabinets, including kitchen and garage cabinets. Because of the height, you may use a chair or stool or stand on tiptoes to reach the top of the cabinets, just as you would with regular kitchen cabinets. Additionally, at this height, there is ample space for proper ventilation between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling.

 

Size Of The Cabinet

The size of a garage cabinet affects its mounting height. If the cabinet is 12 inches deep and around 30 inches tall, the 96-inch installation height is suitable. A taller cabinet could need a higher mounting height if the bottom of the cabinet interferes with your parking space. For single doors, a garage cabinet's width ranges from 15 inches to 48 inches.

 

Taking Garage Cabinets Into Account

Before you begin drilling, check the area where you want to install the object. Make sure your car can enter and exit the garage without crashing into or damaging the cabinets. In addition, be sure that wide cabinet units placed above car height do not contact any ski or kayak storage racks that you may have mounted to the roof of your car.

 

Mount Garage Cabinets

Wooden garage cabinets must be firmly fastened in order to prevent their separation and subsequent fall, which might harm your car or other items in your garage. Find the wooden timbers that span the garage, if necessary. Use a wall stud to locate the studs if your walls are finished. Install your cabinets using these studs and beams because they provide the cabinet greater strength and enable it to support more weight. Without installing wall studs, you run the danger of breaking the wall and having cabinets fall off.
