Attaching End Panels to kitchen units

[Adrian80]

Hi,
got band Shed flat pack kitchen, it has end panels with no obvious or prescribed way of attaching them to the carcass.

does anyone have any tips.

I was thinking glue and clamps?
i thought screwing them on frrom the inside out might be a bit dangerous if it goes through the carcass, and it will only be the tapered bit of the screw in the panel.

cheers for the input.

Adrian

Adrian - use screws, you can hide the heads of the front 2 by positioning them under the hinge position and at the back the top one high-up and the lower one below a shelf position. As to the length of screw - hold the decor panel against the carcase then compare the longest length of screw that will not pierce the outer laminate ... don't forget to account for the screw head. If you apply any glue you'll not be able to de-mount the decor panel in the future (say to pull a unit for new flooring or pipe repair, etc) without damaging it and of course will that style of panel might not be available in a few years time?
