Cabinet Problems

[sgf]

Has anybody ever had the whole front of your cabinets fall off in the main slide? Ours did this weekend, entire trip was 12 miles and no potholes, half of the of the upper cabinet fronts just fell off, breaking the glass out of two doors, total of four fell,looked over and just staples pulled out of the frames, oh well, one more thing for our dealer to replace, at least it did not damage anything else.

Crikey, sgf!! You sure have had a bunch of problems from what I have just been reading. What the heck model are you running anyway? The doors must have fallen onto a couch--otherwise they sure would have busted up the table! They STAPLED your doors up? Or do you mean that the frames holding in the glass were stapled in? Our fronted cabinets seem to have a heavy duty plastic insert. HMMM. Did they save yours up and work on it only on Fridays for a month?? Hard to believe that one guy could have so much bad luck. Sure sorry to hear about it!

Got to admitt, in all the time we have been on this forum (a while, over a year and a half), this is the first we remember hearing this one!

What year unit do you have???

More info, the doors did not fall off, the entire frame that was stapled to the base wall cabinet fell, four doors are attached to this frame, the doors were screwed and stayed intact when the entire frame fell, during transit of course, yes, the frame did fall onto the coach so the only damage was two glass inserts broke,what we were saying was it seems keystone stapled the frame to the cabinets and the staples were not long enough and pulled out of the hanging brace, the bases are screwed to the walls of the fiver, just looks like somebody went crazy with there stapler and missed most staples from going into the brace, this is just a minor setback compared to our other problems, no other glass came loose or broke, should have caught this as we checked to be sure all the glass was caulked in as posted before, it was.Now to the black tank problem.

Whoops, forgot, this is a 2004 2955 RL model.

I wonder if Keystone makes there own cabinets or do they buy them out from a cabinet shop. It sounds like someone used the wrong staple gun.

Never heard that one before. I think a little call to Keystone might be in order! That is NOT acceptable.

In reference to who makes Montana cabinets, last time Al and I were at the plant (May 2004) we understood that they made their cabinets right there on the premises. Kitchen table and chairs, I believe they purchase from outside vendor.

Note, we can stand corrected if we misunderstood these facts.
