Way ot metal kitchen cabinets

Kansas4010 · Mar 27, 2019

I'm refurbishing a metal kitchen cabinet I picked up the other day. It only came with one clip to hold the sink top on. It is a Sears brand cabinet. Does anyone know where I can get more clips? Thank you.

Check out salvaged washers and dryers. They use a similar clip to hold the top down.

Same here. I kept looking at that clip thinking I know I've seen them before. I just couldn't place them. I'll have to see where I can find some junk dryers. Thank you.

Wow, that's a nice-sized cabinet!

We have a much smaller one. Has a deep utility sink made of fiberglass, and the front door of cabinet is spring-loaded, but only takes a second or two to remove completely. Tool-less door removal. Haven't seen one that size before. Nice!

No help with the clips but those might be Youngstown Kitchen Cabinets ..... as in Youngstown, Ohio. They were quite popular even up here in the 50's and maybe into the 60's as well. A lot in homes as well as in schools and government facilities. My old school chum from up here married a girl from Youngstown in the late 60's, they met at a college south of the border, Ohio University I think it was. The name Mullins also comes into the mix ..... some history here below in the link.

If you can't find any clips, could probably use some stainless fender washers, or cut some squares, bend them up in the middle a little. Then drill a hole in the top of the frame, bolt the washer/bracket down with the edge hooked over the inside lip of the top.

Those make some nice shop sinks! Or fish cleaning station!

Soon as i saw it. Scott is on the trail. The clips have gotten cheaper but the best place is where they sell used washers. Probably have junk boxes full of stuff. Happy hunting.

Our local Ace Hardware franchise has sink clips in one of the specialty drawers in the hardware aisle. I think they even have two or three styles, if I recall right. I would try a good hardware store or a big-box store.

I'm planning on fixing the cabinet up and installing it in a utility room.

The old farmhouse I grew up in had Youngstown kitchen cabinets. They were white but I understand they came in colors too!

I have that exact sink in my house. The cabinet is a but different, brand says "signature". I love it, wish modern sinks had the large drain areas!

Just a warning. Be very carfull if you have anything electrical to be setting on it. Years ago a local family had one and baby was setting on it as mother was working. Turned on electric mixer and the baby was DEAD, killed by electrical shock from that mixer. Mother never did feel the shock from that mixer but Baby sure did. So just be carefull with anything electrical around it.
