How to Hang a Dartboard Cabinet
Dart cabinets provide the ideal place to display and protect your dartboard in your home. By shielding the wall and keeping your dartboard secure and safe inside its housing unit.
As soon as you open the door of your cabinet, there will be a scoreboard on the other side for easily keeping track of your score when playing cricket with friends or playing solo.
If you’re ready to play darts, simply close the doors of your cabinet to protect the dartboard and show its unique design. Or you could add your favorite soccer team or NFL club’s name as an expression of support on its front.
Create an eye-catching addition to your home by installing one of Darts Corner’s darts cabinets, with our wide range featuring licensed soccer and NFL teams as well as dartboards from football clubs or NFL cabinets for darts – or look at our Jack Daniels cabinet if you have a bar at home!
Before installing your darts cabinet in the wall, determine an area large enough for it. Take measurements between ceiling and walls using Oche (throw line) measures to find 5 feet 8 inches (1.73m) as this should correspond with where you think the center of your dartboard may lie.
Position the cabinet against the wall that it will move against and make sure that both doors are completely opened without obstructions.
There must be at least an 8ft gap between the floor and wall where the darts cabinet is placed and your seating position. This ensures enough room to throw your line (oche) accurately from an optimal distance and play safely.
Keep the surrounding environment of the room where you are hanging your cabinet in mind when placing it. Avoid placing it near anything valuable or delicate that might cause accidental darts or bounce-outs to damage it; similarly, avoid putting the cabinet where people could walk through while passing to another room.
Step One of Mounting Your Dart Cabinet
Step 1: Mark out an area measuring 5ft 8in (1.73m). This measurement will serve to establish the dartboard’s center-of-bullseye position on its surface. This measurement can also help with regulation compliance.
Step 2 – Most dart cabinets already include holes pre-drilled for installation of dartboard brackets, but if yours doesn’t simply position the bracket at the center and make holes yourself. Otherwise you might consider drilling four additional holes – one at each corner of your cabinet’s perimeter that are no more than sixteen inches (41cm) apart from each other – before beginning assembly.
Step 3: Secure it to the wall, marking all holes to mark each of four cabinet corners and making sure its center matches exactly with what was measured in Step 1.
Step 4 – Make use of a drill to secure the cabinet to the wall using the screws provided at each corner, checking to make sure it is level before installing the dartboard bracket into its appropriate spot in the cabinet.
Step 5: Once the cabinet has been assembled, add your dartboard into its bracket and verify measurements from floor level to bullseye height of 5 feet 8 inches (1.73m). Adjust as necessary if necessary.
