Re: Yet another TK pantry build Reply #25 – April 22, 2024, 05:15:00 am Quote from: Dave Katleman link=msg=255612 date=1713751640} What are you securing the door shut with? Arriving in Chicagoland on Tuesday for a few days. [/quotea few days.Dave - The closures are harvested from the Habitat for Humanity cabinet as well but essentially are these - see attached picture. They are quite secure and no accidental openings on our way to Kentucky from Wisconsin. There is enough of a lip on the edge of the cabinet to pull it open so I haven't installed any door pulls yet - contemplating leaving it this way or installing the simple low profile pulls I've already purchased. To be determined after a bit of use. I also have some strong magnets suggested prior in the thread on standby in case we need them.Have fun in Chicago!Andy - Yes!! the "threaded rod + turnbuckles + clear tubing as retainers" was all my Dad's genius - you should have seen the confusion on my face as he was trying to explain the concept without a visual aid. LOL! I didn't even know what a turnbuckle was! I also like that I can space the retainer higher / lower to accommodate different height items. Also, want to note - no squeaks or rattles coming from this addition. So thankful for that - any extra noises drive me crazy. Final picture is my Dad - hard at work - always willing to entertain my next crazy idea. Love him! 2 Likes

Kreg makes great stuff, and that jig would have made a tedious job easy. Thanks for the tip!When I built the bunk cabinet assembly for Don Malpas, using Factory matching doors and drawers, the framework was complicated and needed building in modular pieces as the whole frame would not fit through the coach door.The Kreg jig allowed building the cabinet completely in the garage, on stands, and then taking it apart for final assembly in the LD. Kreg makes very useful tools.This was my most involved cabinetry project in a Lasy Daze.
