It\u2019s essential that you get the size of both the cabinet and bin right before attempting to fit them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measuring accurately can be tricky, but there are some tips that can help make sure you get it right. Firstly, use a tape measure or ruler for accuracy &#8211; don\u2019t just guess. Make sure you double check your measurements, too \u2013 once is never enough when it comes to this kind of job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-near-the-cabinets.png\" alt=\"Kitchen bin near the cabinets\" class=\"wp-image-24269\" width=\"330\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-near-the-cabinets.png 512w, https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-near-the-cabinets-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-near-the-cabinets-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to remember that different bins come in different sizes, so make sure you have the correct measurements for whichever one you choose. You should also consider any additional space needed around the edges of your bin if necessary \u2013 this will ensure a snug fit with no gaps between the cabinet and bin when they are put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, always allow yourself extra time to measure up, as getting it wrong could cause problems later on down the line, which may require costly repairs or replacements. Taking care at this stage will save time and money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have determined the size of your cabinet and the size of your bin, you can move on to preparing for installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #03a9f4; margin: 0 auto; display: table; cursor: pointer; font-size: 20px; padding: 0px; border-radius: 6px; margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; max-width: 720px; background: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; padding: 20px; display: block; cursor: pointer; color: #03a9f4;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Measuring+up+for+a+new+kitchen+bin%3F+Don%27t+guess+-+get+it+right+the+first+time%21+Take+your+time+and+double+check+those+measurements+to+ensure+a+snug+fit+with+no+gaps.+%23kitchenhacks+%23measurementmatters&amp;via=&amp;related=&amp;url=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Measuring up for a new kitchen bin?

This will help ensure that your new bin fits properly and looks its best. Be sure to clean the surface thoroughly with a damp cloth or mild detergent before beginning installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"measuretwicecutonce\">Measure Twice, Cut Once<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential to measure twice and cut once when installing a bin in order to get an accurate fit. Take measurements of both the opening where you plan on placing your bin as well as the size of your new bin itself. Make sure there is enough room for it to fit comfortably without being too tight or too loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checkforlevelground\">Check for Level Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have measured out where you want your bin placed, check that the ground is level by using a spirit level or other measuring tool if necessary. Uneven surfaces can cause problems during installation, so make sure everything is even before continuing on with the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cleanampdrysurfaces\">Clean &amp; Dry Surfaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting the installation, be sure all surfaces are completely dry and free from dirt or dust particles which could interfere with adhesion later on down the line. If needed, use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment to remove any excess dirt from hard-to-reach areas such as corners and crevices in order to guarantee optimal results after the installation has been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"clearthearea\">Clear the Area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you begin installing your new bin, it is important to make sure that the area is clear of any existing bins or debris. Remove any old bins and clean up any dirt or dust in the area. Make sure that all surfaces are dry before beginning installation. This will help ensure a successful installation process and prevent potential damage to your bin from moisture or dirt particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"measureup1\">Measure Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have cleared the area, measure out where you want to install your bin. It\u2019s important to get accurate measurements so that your bin fits properly and looks great when installed. Take into account any surrounding objects, such as walls, cabinets, shelves, etc., so that there is enough space for easy access and manoeuvrability around the bin once it has been installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gathersupplies\">Gather Supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have the necessary tools and supplies, it&#8217;s time to begin the installation process.

Installing your bin correctly is important for both safety and convenience. Here are some tips on how to install your bin the right way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"measureup1\">Measure Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before installing, make sure that you have enough space in the cabinet or area where you plan to put the bin. Measure twice before drilling any holes so that everything fits perfectly when it comes time to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preparingforinstallation1\">Preparing for Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve measured and know exactly where your bin will go, start prepping by gathering all of the necessary tools and supplies, such as screws, brackets, drill bits, screwdriver etc. Make sure that all of these items are readily available before starting installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"installingyourbin1\">Installing Your Bin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-inside-a-cabinet.png\" alt=\"Kitchen bin inside a cabinet\" class=\"wp-image-24270\" width=\"351\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-inside-a-cabinet.png 512w, https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-inside-a-cabinet-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kitchen-bin-inside-a-cabinet-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, adjust the height if necessary by loosening or tightening the hinge pins until you reach your desired height. Be careful not to overtighten them as this can cause damage over time due to constant use and wear-and-tear on the product itself. Once you are done, check for levelness one more time before finishing up the installation process completely; make sure everything looks good aesthetically speaking too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"key-takeaway\" style=\"background: #baf5b8; margin: 0 auto; display: table; padding: 30px; margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; border-radius: 4px; max-width: 720px;\">\n<div class=\"takeaway-body\" style=\"display: flex; font-size: 18px;\">\n<div class=\"key-icon\" style=\"margin-right: 5px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"key-content\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Key Takeaway: <\/strong>When installing a kitchen bin, it is important to measure the space and gather the necessary tools before beginning.
