Need help fixing pantry cabinets!

3 years ago

I’m having trouble fixing a bowing side panel and front panel of my pantry cabinets. I’ve thought about clamping together and adhering the pieces together but I’m not sure what kind of clamp to get. Images of the inside of the cabinet and the other image is of the side.

Would you be able to move the cabinet out from the wall?

It’s secured pretty tightly around the refrigerator and part of a bigger piece. I don’t believe it would be possible.

Reid:

That looks like classic racking to me. That's when the cabinet is pulled out of square by being screwed to an out-of-plumb wall. The cabinet must be removed, squared up, glued, and clamped, then reinstalled properly with shims.

It's possible, may be a good bit of work, but it needs to be removed for a proper fix.
