Lazy susan install

I have a job that requires a 32" kidney shape lazy susan. I have never installed one of these. The problem lies in that the hardware is supposed to be supplied by the homeowner, who lives in Canada, and the job is in Mexico. He wants to bring it with him in December but he also wants his kitchen including granite counter top installed when he arrives. I am thinking it is very hard if not impossible to install the LS after the cabinets and counter top are in place. Also he increased the height of his base cabinets by 2". I'm pretty sure they also need special face frame hinges. Any ideas or opinions? Thanks

If you are talking about the 2 trays and a pole lazy susan,then yes it can be install after the fact.Done it many times.
As far as "special"hinges because of the height of the cabinet,i am a little lost of what you thinking.

Concerning the hinges. Not because the height of the door, I guess I expressed my idea poorly. the owner is supplying an off brand 35 cup hinge for face frames. They open to 105°, 1/2" overlay. The doors for the LS need a hinge that opens 180° and what about the hinge that connects the 2 doors ?

This home is in a place where none of this type of hardware is available so I can't run over to a supplier and get what I need.

I don't doubt your word but how do you get the 32" trays over the pole and through the opening in the face of the cabinet?

Kriss, we have put kidney susan after the fact, place both trays inside cabinet than insert pole thru each shelf and place pole in socket on floor and ceiling. Lift center shelf to correct height and secure hub bearing. In regards to hinges, I would take extra pair of 170' hinges with plates and a pair of pie cut hinges along. Cheaper to put back in stock than not finish the job. Good luck, Scott

Thanks Scott, I am in Mexico so acquiring the hinges is part of the problem. I'd sure like to be able to do all boring and fit the doors before installing. I'll be making a trip to Guadalajara (500 miles r/t) so I'll see what I can find.

Go to www.richelieu.com and see if you can open an account from the nearest warehouse. They will have whatever you need. Is the kitchen a faceframe or frameless? You will need 2 170 degree hinges plus 2 corner bifold hinges for the second door as well as hinge plates, harold. If you cant find them, let me know and i can send them to you from my stock. My shop is in Ft. Lauderdale and shipping cant be that much. Harold.

Why not just install super susans and put the center one an adjustable shelf?...

No service calls, easy to install, looks better than plastic, no pole and they rotate independently...

    FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards.
