end panels to units securing issue

Post by bgatty68 »

Are end panels screwed to a unit from inside the unit so nothing is showing on the outside :oops: also I have a dishwasher next to my Rangecooker and the plans that have been done for the kitchen show an end panel in between them, can anyone tell me how I attach an end panel to the side of the dishwasher as it doesnt have any way that I can see to attach anything to it. It is a buil;t in dishwasher and I have attached the door to it but a end panel I am lost on please :help:

Yes end panels are screwed on from inside the unit.

To attach the end panel there are various ways but the easiest is to use some small angle brackets fixed to the worktop, wall & floor.

Thanks Darren for that, cant believe I didnt even think of that. So i measure the gap for the dishwasher, remove dishwasher, then fit end panel in using the brackets then the dishwasher is put back in :wink:

integrated dishwasher come with the brackets to secure it to adjacent panels or cabinets! some dishwashers even have holes through the sides in line with the door closing!
