Instruction

First, examine the place where your cabinet will be placed. If the wall, floor or ceiling has some features, for example, a water pipe runs in this place, or there is a niche. Then you need how your closet will look like. Put on the diagram all the dimensions: height, width, depth of the cabinet. Do not forget that 10 cm must be added to the desired internal space, since the closet will “eat” this space. Draw all the shelves that you want to install in the closet, mark their dimensions too. It is best to plan the interior space of the closet as follows: the top shelf, the upper compartment, the underwear shelves for all family members, and the bottom shelf for shoes. So, the drawing in which you drew the diagrams of all the details of the cabinet is ready, it remains only to buy the material, mark it, saw it or cut it, buy the fittings and assemble it.

But before you go to the store, draw up assembly instructions. In it, step by step, write the process of assembling all the parts, all the necessary accessories that you will need and tools. After all, it will be a shame when, during assembly, it turns out that everything will have to be disassembled and reassembled.

The next stage is the purchase of materials, tools and accessories. In principle, for the assembly of the wardrobe are not needed special tools if you have a standard set (hammer, screwdrivers with different form sting), then it will be enough for you. From the fittings you will need metal corners, dowels, self-tapping screws, rollers and guides for sliding doors. The simplest material for a cabinet is laminated chipboard. You can also cut boards in the building supermarket itself, if it provides such a service. So there will be less dirt in your house and you will not need professional tools.

Now the most important thing is the assembly of the cabinet. Place a plank on the floor to form the base of your cabinet. Attach the side boards to it with dowels and corners - three on each side. In the same way, attach them to the wall, observing the horizontal and vertical fastenings. If your closet has 1 compartment for hangers, then next we fix a vertical board that will divide the cabinet space. It is better to make shelves fixed so that they do not constantly fall. Since we are building a closet, let everything in it be fixed. We fix the shelves on the same corners and screws.

The most difficult thing is to install the doors on the rails. First, screw the guides from below onto the screws. Do this strictly according to the level, otherwise the doors will slide down the slope. It is impossible to cope with the insertion of doors alone, so be sure to call assistants. You need to insert both doors together, putting the top guides on them. Be sure to hit the bottom guides. When the doors are inserted, move the doors one by one and screw the upper rail onto the screws.

As you can see, it is difficult to assemble a wardrobe on your own, but it is quite realistic.

Do-it-yourself wardrobe assembly scheme in 5 steps

Out of a desire to save money, people often buy disassembled cabinet furniture in the hope of assembling it themselves. Indeed, there are instructions in any kit, but in reality, the sliding wardrobe assembly scheme has many nuances, and so that at the end you don’t have “extra parts” and the cabinet turns out to be durable, we will analyze the whole process in detail and for convenience we will break it into 5 steps.

Tool and preparation for assembly

You won’t need too many tools, but you won’t be able to get by with one screwdriver either, manufacturers give out a kit with 90% readiness, the remaining 10% are written off for fitting furniture to a specific place.

• Confirmed key, manual hexagon (often included);
• Steel hammer;
• Rubber mallet;
• Screwdrivers - Phillips and straight;
• Roulette;
• Awl;
• Confirmed drill;
• Drills for metal - 4 mm and 6 mm;
• Screwdriver;
• Square;
• Pliers;
• Level (regular bubble).

Now we need to prepare workplace, on the assembly site, the cabinet should fit in any position - along, across, diagonally, and even lying down. All this is necessary in order for you to be able to fix the back shield from fiberboard, and then get out of there and slide the cabinet into its place.

Do not rely on the fact that the set is fully equipped, be sure to check the availability of all the details when buying, the furniture is assembled manually at the factory and the human factor must be taken into account.

Assembling a closet in 5 steps

Furniture in the public sector is made either from chipboard or laminated MDF, it is not difficult to assemble these cabinets by hand, but it is advisable to take care of an assistant, at least for support.

Step 1: Base Assembly

In this case, we need to install the legs on the base plate and fix the fittings for the subsequent installation of the vertical walls of the cabinet.

Illustrations	Recommendations
	Legs marked. In some models, legs are not provided at all, they are installed on stands made of the same chipboard boards, but more often there are adjustable legs in the kit. Here you need to look at whether holes are provided for these legs in the base plate, if they are there, then assemble them according to the diagram shown in the photo on the left.
	Legs not marked. This situation occurs in budget models. You need to mark the points for mounting and screw the legs with self-tapping screws to the base. According to the rules, on the front side the legs are installed at a distance of 70 mm from the edge, and from the back 50 mm from the edge.
	Mounting hardware. The vertical walls are fixed with pins for minifixes, the standard diameter is 4 mm, but there are other models.
	Pin mounting. There are pre-drilled holes in the base for these pins, you just need to take a tool and screw them in. The same pins are mounted in the top cover, in order not to waste time later, it is better to screw them into a rhinestone into both plates.

Step 2: assemble the body

If up to this point you could do everything yourself, now it's time to call an assistant. It is needed to maintain the walls in a vertical state. It is not worth fixing the cage to the base right away, first install the shelves so that the cage stays on its own.

Horizontal shelves are assembled using furniture confirmers, they are also called euroscrews. In ready-made sets, the holes for them are already drilled, you only need to insert the confirmant into these holes and screw tightly with a hex key, then cover the head with a plastic plug.

It is better to screw the confirmants manually with a key; when using a screwdriver, you can overtighten and strip the thread.

Now it's time to firmly attach the cage with shelves to the base and top cover. For these purposes, the so-called minifixes are used, they are something like a “pill” with an eccentric inside.

Furniture minifix diameter 16mm when you install vertical racks on the pins, the pin head will be visible in side hole racks. A minifix is ​​inserted into this hole and rotated clockwise.

Thus, the two elements are tightly pulled together. At the same time, the technology is the same, both for fixing the base and for fixing the top cover.

Step 3: back wall

The back wall in such cabinets is made of painted hardboard (dense fiberboard). Sheets are cut on machines, so there is no doubt about their forms, the problem is that the back wall is typesetting, that is, it is assembled from several sheets, so the assembly takes place in 3 stages:

1. First you need to check how smoothly you assembled the box. For this we use old-fashioned way- we measure the diagonals. The size of both diagonals must be the same. If something is wrong, we check the tightness of the minifixes, usually small deviations are caused by an uneven screed;
2. Now call an assistant and ask him to hold the box in the right position (so that it does not skew in any direction). At this time, you yourself apply the bottom panel of the hardboard to the back wall and nail it to the racks with studs or fasten it with small self-tapping screws;
3. Next, put on a plastic H-shaped connecting profile on installed panel and mount the next one in the same way. The minimum step for fixing panels on racks is 100 mm, well, this is already at your discretion, for example, in Soviet cabinets the back wall was fixed with self-tapping screws with a pitch of 30 mm.

Step number 4: installation of rails for doors

Before mounting guides for sliding doors, the base of the cabinet should be set clearly on the horizon, with level control. This can be done with adjustable legs.

Illustrations	Recommendations
	Equipment. In budget models, roller doors are used based on the lower rail, rollers drive along it. Above are W-shaped profiles that control the movement of the door leaf.
	Fixing top profiles. All profiles come without mounting holes, you will need to drill them with a drill with a diameter of 4 mm. Then screw the profile with self-tapping screws to the top cover of the cabinet.
	We put stoppers. Stoppers are needed so that the door rollers are fixed in them and the doors do not move apart spontaneously. You just need to take the pliers and insert the latch into the groove of the profile.
	Bottom profile fixing. The instruction is similar: drill holes with a diameter of 4 mm and fasten the profile to the base with self-tapping screws (the stoppers should already be in place).

To assemble any cabinet (ready-made serial, custom-made or built-in), there are two options: order assembly when buying a cabinet or assemble the cabinet yourself. The built-in closet fits into the size of the room, so it is quite difficult to assemble it. In this case, it is worth contacting a professional assembler so that the cabinet is assembled without defects, which means it lasts a long time. To assemble separately standing cabinet enough of your strength. Cabinet furniture is usually assembled without any problems, besides, finished furniture is always supplied with detailed instructions with a description of the number of parts and assembly order.

Before starting assembly, check for necessary tools. The main ones are a screwdriver, a hammer and a hex wrench. You may also need laser level to check the evenness of the floor, a square to check right angles and a tape measure. After unpacking the boxes with cabinet parts, check their conformity with the design and the number of fittings. You should also make sure that there are no chips, scratches or other defects on the panels. Pay attention to the instructions: in order to properly assemble the wardrobe, the diagram must be correct. Compliance with the instructions and model of the wardrobe is checked by short designation, based on the number of doors and the type of filling. For example, ShK-2.1 is a 2-door wardrobe with filling option No. 1.

How to assemble a closet mechanism

The finished serial wardrobe is assembled in the following order:

1. A separate plinth is mounted - immediately with the cabinet floor. After assembly, the plinth should be put aside far: it will be needed during further assembly.

2. The frame of the case is assembled, which consists of side towers, a ceiling and a floor (with a plinth). It is best to assemble the frame on the floor if the cabinet is small.

3. The cabinet body is installed in a vertical position. Rods for shelf holders-flippers are attached to the side walls and partitions of the cabinet, and then the shelves are installed.

4. Using a tape measure, the equality of the cabinet diagonals is checked - this way you can determine that there are no distortions.

5. The cabinet is placed on the floor again, after which the back wall is fixed, and the cabinet is installed in place.

6. Rod holders are attached to the side walls and partitions, then the rods are fixed.

7. If the filling of the wardrobe consists not only of rods and shelves, modules with drawers are assembled: first, the base and cover of the module and guides in the cabinet body are installed, then they are assembled themselves drawers and placed in a closet.

How to assemble a wardrobe more than 3 meters wide

A 2-door wardrobe is easier to assemble than a 3-door one: a wardrobe that is too wide is difficult to move during assembly and constantly move from a horizontal position to a vertical one. Wide cabinets in most cases are made built-in, which are assembled by a professional assembler. To assemble a wide wardrobe to order, it is also better to call an assembler: in fact, to assemble a wardrobe, the price is not high and mainly depends on the complexity of the design.

But if you ordered a free-standing wide cabinet and want to assemble it yourself, follow a few rules when assembling:

A wide cabinet is assembled in the same order as a regular-width cabinet;

To avoid damage to the panels, it is better to assemble a wide cabinet in an upright position;

It is necessary to check the absence of distortions more often.

How to assemble sliding doors for a wardrobe

After assembling the cabinet body, it remains only to install the system sliding doors: guides and the doors themselves. First, the guides are attached: upper and lower, and it must be ensured that there is no discrepancy between them and distortions, otherwise the doors will get stuck or at least creak.

The number of doors does not affect the assembly method. Instructions on how to assemble a 2-door and 3-door wardrobe are the same for the door system:

1. For the far door, the top edge of the door is inserted into the far upper track, and the rollers are installed into the far lower track.

2. To install the near door, the same process is repeated.

3. Using a hex wrench, the doors are adjusted so that they do not warp.

4. It is checked whether the doors move smoothly.

After that, you can put things in a new closet. Assembling the cabinet with your own hands or calling an assembler - this issue should be resolved when buying a cabinet in order to agree in advance with the assembler at a convenient time for you.

2. The lack of an assistant who will help you when necessary (hold the shelf, feed the screw).
3. Do-it-yourself assembly takes time, which will take you many times more than an experienced specialist.

If all of the above difficulties do not scare you away, and you are determined, let's take a closer look at how to assemble a sliding wardrobe yourself?

Site selection and sizing

Decide where you will install the future cabinet, and take measurements. To do this, you will need some set of accessories:

• roulette;
• paper;
• plumb;
• pencil.

First you need to measure the distance between the two walls where the cabinet will be installed. Measurements should be taken from below and from above, for greater accuracy. You should also determine the distance from the floor to the ceiling on the left and right, finding out the height of the furniture. This must be done on both sides, since the walls are not always quite even. It is necessary to approximately determine the depth of the cabinet. On paper, draw a rectangle and write down the dimensions of the future furniture. Exact dimensions will be required later.

wardrobe sketch

Visit several furniture stores, taking a measurement sheet with you. Look at different models cabinets and decide which one you want to make with your own hands. You can also see photos on our website. You can find out from sellers in stores the specifics of the materials used, fittings and components. If there is not enough time for this, invite a designer home. For a fee, you will be consulted on materials and a sketch of future furniture will be created.

Detail drawing

To create a detailed drawing, you will need a school drafting skill or some kind of computer program for designing furniture. Not everyone owns the necessary software, so you can always choose the first option.

On a sheet of A3 paper, you should make a drawing of the future cabinet, clearly drawing all the details and indicating their dimensions. At the same time, please note that about 1 cm should be indented from the walls, and at least 3 cm from the ceiling and at least 10 cm from the floor. This is required so that the assembled cabinet fits into the provided niche. It is necessary to retreat from the floor so that the cabinet stands on special legs with height adjustment. After applying all the shelves and drawers to the paper, all the details should be distributed in a table, indicating all sizes.

Manufacturing of cabinet elements

Having on hand detailed drawing future furniture, contact the company, whose specialists will cut out the details you need from chipboard, mirror or glass for you. You can also purchase all the spare parts, accessories and materials that you may need.

From additional materials to assemble a wardrobe with your own hands according to a photo or drawing, you will need the following:

• confirmations, called euroscrews;
• drill for euroscrews;
• universal countersunk head screw 2.5x12 mm;
• adjustable legs;
• furniture corners for shelves;
• door opening system.

V Lately popularity has increased for the top hanging system of doors, but it is better to choose the familiar aluminum mechanism that has become traditional.

Cabinet assembly

Of all the fittings and details that you receive, you will need to make a sliding wardrobe from the photo with your own hands. It is unlikely that everything will be done in a day, since the process is quite laborious. For assembly, you will need the following set of tools:

• building level;
• roulette;
• pencil;
• screwdriver

Bottom installation

The assembly always starts with the installation of the bottom. On the lower part facing the floor, you need to install the legs in two rows of 3 pieces. They should be securely fastened with screws. The middle row of legs must be placed along the axis of motion door panels. Turn the structure over and slide it into the prepared niche where you plan to install the cabinet. Using a building level and adjustable legs, align the structure in a horizontal plane. After that, the base should be pulled out for subsequent assembly.

Side wall fastening

The side walls should be attached to the ceiling of the cabinet with the help of confirmations. You should get a U-shaped design, which must be placed on a previously prepared base, and secured from below with confirmations. It is necessary to assemble the cabinet in the position in which it will stand in your niche.

Rear installation

Need to take back cabinet future wardrobe and attach it to general design screws. To increase the rigidity of the frame, you can fix several shelves with euro screws, and nail the back wall to them. The resulting frame can be carefully inserted into the niche.

Shelves

Using store-bought corners, secure the shelves. To do this, you need to attach the corners and install cut-out shelves on them, as well as install drawers of a retractable design.

Hanging doors

Sliding doors must be installed at the very end. It is necessary to align the outer edge of the aluminum rails and attach them from below and above to the base of the furniture. One at a time, you need to insert the doors: first, insert the upper part into the guide installed on top, and then put the lower roller on the lower guide.

So, your closet should now be completely ready, and you just have to fill it with useful things.

Today, you can easily use the services of professional furniture assembly. But some want to do everything themselves, and the point here is not even in costs, but in curiosity and interest. We will tell you how to assemble a wardrobe yourself in our article.

How to assemble a wardrobe with your own hands

Young families often have to deal with the problems associated with the situation of their "nest". Sometimes the situation is further complicated by the lack of funds to buy new furniture. Moreover, small size living space forces you to think in advance the location of all elements of the interior.

You can cope with this problem if you assemble a wardrobe with your own hands - this way you will get a place to store your existing things that will fit you in size.

If you prepare for the process (buy tools and materials in advance), you can easily assemble the cabinet yourself. To do this, you do not need professional skills.

It is easier to assemble a cabinet if you break down all production activities into several stages. The work consists of a set of successive activities:

Schema design.

Preparing the necessary tools.

Buying parts and giving them desired shape and sizes.

Construction assembly.

Before assembling the cabinet, you should prepare tools that may come in handy during the process:

electric drill- to tighten self-tapping screws and drill holes;

hammer - with its help you will hammer dowels;

• building level;

  a simple pencil - for taking measurements and making marks;

  glue - useful for gluing the pile;

  a hacksaw for wood, which will allow you to fit all the parts under the right dimensions;

  Lots of screws and dowels.

Initially, it is necessary to check the quality of each detail of the future design. Surfaces must be free of bulges, cracks, scratches and other defects. When transporting parts of the cabinet, try to observe safety precautions. All components must be securely fastened to the body of the vehicle.

Before assembling the cabinet, you need to draw up a sketch and determine the location of the structure. Here you need to focus on personal preferences and availability free space. In most cases, cabinets are located in the closet, in the corner of the room or near the wall.

The standard ratio of height and length is equal to 1.62. That is, if the ceiling height is 3 m, optimal length cabinet is 185 cm (300 / 1.62 = 185.1). Cabinet details can have a depth of 40, 50 or 60 cm. Of course, you can assemble a cabinet of completely different depths, but it is worth considering that the value is too large given parameter makes the operation of the furniture not very convenient.

Having chosen a suitable location, you can begin to draw up a sketch, which is detailed diagram with the image of all the elements of the future cabinet. It can be prepared manually on paper or using computer Excel programs and Basis. plus latest program is the ability to calculate the size and quantity of all parts that will need to be sawn.

Cabinet filling example

For the manufacture of shelves, chipboard is most often used. Shelves are fastened with self-tapping screws and corners.

Before starting the assembly process, you need to prepare necessary materials. Sawing and edge processing of parts can be ordered at the place where you will purchase them.

In order to assemble a structure measuring 1.5 × 2.4 m, you will need:

three horizontal parts 1.5 × 0.6 m;

two vertical parts 2 × 0.6 m (cabinet walls);

one partition 1.35 × 0.6 m;

three partitions for shelves measuring 0.325 × 0.6 m, which will be installed vertically;

one sheet for a shelf with dimensions of 1.5 × 0.3 m;

three partitions for a shelf 0.3 × 0.4 m.

The main task at this stage is to calculate the number of parts and their dimensions without errors. If the sketch is inaccurate, there is a risk of buying the wrong amount of materials that will be needed.

How to assemble a wardrobe: a sequence of actions

1. First you need to install a board 1.5 × 0.6 m on the floor and attach two side elements to it. If there is a skirting board on the floor, it is better to remove it so that the side parts do not need to be adjusted under it. For fixing parts, it is better to use dowels. They allow you to securely attach the elements to the cabinet wall.

To attach the remaining elements to the bottom board, self-tapping screws and metal corners are useful. In some cases, shelves are installed using plastic corners, but fasteners made of such material are less reliable.

1. The next step is to assemble the shelves inside the cabinet: two boards are attached to the vertical part and three transverse compartments, which are placed in a horizontal position.
2. The fastening of the compartments is carried out in a similar way - on self-tapping screws and metal corners. If it is possible to get close to the walls, which are located on the side, then euro screws can act as fasteners.
3. The upper outer shelves are attached. Three vertical partitions of the structure are attached to a horizontal board with dimensions of 1.5 × 3 m. The frequency of fastening partitions is 0.5 m.

If you want to assemble the floor-to-ceiling cabinet yourself, it may be difficult to secure the top cover.

It is necessary to leave a place on top to insert the hexagon. An alternative option is to attach the cabinet lid to the metal corners from the inside.

So you can get two compartments for hangers, in which you can put outerwear, dresses and shirts. On one side of the cabinet you will get a shelf, and the other side will be divided into three small compartments.

How to assemble a closet

Is it possible to assemble a sliding wardrobe by yourself? For this, it is necessary to define correct order actions. The first step is to check the integrity of the package - whether all the cabinet parts have been delivered. At your disposal should be several boxes of chipboard (at least two), doors and packaging with hardware.

Please note that hardware and other additional parts may be packed with chipboard. When receiving cabinet parts, carefully check the contents of the boxes and the inventory, as it is not uncommon for suppliers to “forget” to put some items.

In order to assemble a wardrobe, you will need a set of the following tools:

Phillips screwdriver PH2;

hex key with a width of edges 5 mm (L-shaped);

roulettes (or rulers);

level (optional)

drills and drills with a diameter of 5 mm.

A screwdriver with bits (hex and cross-shaped) will help to significantly speed up the work, but, of course, you can assemble the cabinet without it.

It is quite difficult to assemble the cabinet alone, so before starting work, we recommend finding an assistant for yourself so that you can ask someone to hold the part or give the tool. Before you start assembling the cabinet, you should free all parts from packaging material and arrange the boards according to size. So you can immediately determine the purpose of each element.

Each panel has characteristic holes, so it is almost impossible to assemble the parts incorrectly.

There are three chipboard connection schemes:

with the help of confirmed screws;

using eccentric couplers (minifixes);

with the addition of wooden dowels (chopiks) to one of the above methods.

The joints differ from each other by characteristic holes that can be found on the plane and at the ends of the boards. The use of confirmations provides for the presence of holes of two types:

In one part - through, in a plane with a diameter of 7 mm.

In the second part - deaf, with a diameter of 4.5 or 5 mm.

The same number of holes are made for eccentric ties:

In one part - deaf, in a plane with a diameter of 5 mm, where the minifix stem is screwed.

The second part has a hole at the end (8 mm), connected to a recess in the plane with a diameter of 15 mm for the clamping cylinder.

For dowels, blind holes are made both from the end and in the plane with the same diameter of 8–10 mm.

Pay attention to the set of hardware from your cabinet, by their presence you can determine the type of connections and the sequence of collecting parts.

Remember also that the front side (end) of the boards is glued with an edge, and the back (where the fiberboard is nailed) remains bare. This will help you properly assemble the cabinet, including the correct placement of shelves, lintels and sides.

Determine the purpose of the panels

Carefully inspect all parts so as not to miss blind holes and additional markings. Initially, you need to install the bottom - the bottom of the wardrobe.

There are two types of bottom: with adjustable legs and without them. If legs are attached to the bottom, then the bottom can be easily determined by the presence of deaf or through holes with a diameter of about 10 mm, where they are inserted. Sometimes the legs are not inserted into the holes, but are installed with screws (in this case, the bottom of the cabinet will have the appropriate markings).

The bottom of the cabinet without legs has a different design. It is based on side panels and special strips (plinths) 50-100 mm wide, which are located along the perimeter of the surface and do not allow it to fall under the weight of the cabinet elements. A feature of the design of such a bottom are additional holes for dowels for attaching the base.

By putting aside the bottom of the cabinet, you can also immediately select the roof (top panel). Its size will be similar to the parameters of the bottom, only with fewer holes.

The search for sidewalls is usually also not difficult - these are the longest parts with holes for attaching shelves on one side. The inner vertical lintels are shorter than the side walls and have characteristic holes at the ends, which are intended for confirmations or dowels.

In order to separate the shelves from the rest of the cabinet, you just need to choose the same (small) boards in size, which are glued on only one (front) side. Sliding wardrobes are almost never equipped with overhead shelves, so they must have at least two holes at the ends on both sides.

The design of the closet often provides for the presence of two additional large shelves. One is installed at the bottom as a stand for shoes, and the other at the top is used as a mezzanine. The dimensions of both elements are identical.

If there are drawers in the closet, then their components are quite easy to find - these are boards with the smallest dimensions (the width of the boards is about 120 mm).

Rules for installing various hardware

For those who want to assemble a cabinet with their own hands, the question often arises: is it necessary to glue wooden dowels? It should be understood that if they are glued, it will not work to disassemble the cabinet if necessary (when moving or repairing) without damaging the fasteners. The use of glue does not make the structure more rigid or durable, therefore gluing is advisable in cases where the connection is made only with the help of dowels, without the help of screws or minifixes.

How to install dowels correctly? They are hammered exclusively into holes on the plane and in no case into the end of the chipboard, since the board may crack when connected. It is recommended to insert dowels by hand or using a rubber mallet. It is also possible to use a metal hammer, but they need to work very carefully so as not to pierce the panel through with a dowel.

The minifix rods are screwed with a Phillips screwdriver. A screwdriver is not very suitable for these purposes, since you can easily turn it in the hole and fixing the connections will be unreliable. After the panels are connected and the rods have entered the holes, the eccentric discs can be inserted. This makes it easier to assemble the cabinet, because if the disk is not centered correctly in advance, the minifix rod will not go into the hole to the end.

When tightening a furniture screw (confirmation), do not make much effort so that it does not turn in the hole. But if this still happened, try sealing the hole with three ordinary matches.

How to assemble a closet: procedure

It is easier to assemble the cabinet if you lay it face down on the floor. At the beginning of the process, be sure to measure the diagonal of the side panel (not the length, but the diagonal). This parameter must be 5 cm less than the height of the ceiling in order to assembled cabinet then you could pick it up. Otherwise, you can assemble the cabinet while standing, but you will need help to hold the side panels.

If you want to assemble a wardrobe yourself, it is better to start from the bottom. Install the legs (or plinths) on the bottom of the cabinet and insert all fixed hardware into the holes: dowels and minifix rods. After that, you need to insert all the hardware into one of the sidewalls and connect to the bottom. If the wardrobe is wide with vertical lintels, you should install the closest panel to the already standing side part. Then you can install the shelves in order between them from the bottom up. Then, in a similar way, assemble the next jumper and fix it with shelves.

Before installing the second side piece, see how the top should be fixed. If the "roof" is installed on top of the entire structure, then you first need to fix the sidewall. And if the top panel should be located between the side panels, before attaching the last of them, then you must first fix the top.

We nail the back wall

After you managed to assemble the frame, you can proceed to fixing the fiberboard with back side. Most often, the back panel consists of several parts, so in order to avoid errors, you should determine the location of each of them before installation. Long-term storage of chipboard leads to slight deformation (especially for the side elements). An arc (“belly”) appears on the panel, which can be eliminated if the fiberboard is properly nailed.

That is, by attaching the board to the cabinet, you first need to find and nail the flat side. Then, aligning the curvature, you should nail the second side. Fiberboard is cut on sawing machines and has a rectangular shape that is close to ideal. The described method allows you to level the cabinet, correcting the diagonal curvature. You can check the quality of the work performed using a tape measure ( tolerance is 5 mm per 1 m).

Some cabinets are equipped with radius additions on the sides of the structure. These are independent elements that can be easily assembled and attached to the cabinet using special furniture ties. The same applies to the decorative figured roof (“visor”), in which the backlight is mounted.

Installing additional items

These include box blocks, trempel tube, hooks, pantograph, lights. These parts are standard commercial products, each of which has its own instructions with detailed description dimensions and installation work.

The exception is a pipe for hangers. In width, it is fixed exactly in the middle of the cabinet, and the height can be any. Most often, the pipe is installed below 50-100 mm from the top shelf.

Door system installation

If you yourself managed to assemble the wardrobe and install everything necessary elements, then you can begin the installation of its doors.

We offer to consider the most popular system, which is used most often due to its low cost. The kit consists of two rails: high (which is installed on top) and low (with slots for wheels) - mounted on the bottom panel of the cabinet. In most cases, there are no holes in the guides, therefore, before assembling the cabinet doors, you need to prepare a drill with a diameter of 5 mm. Recesses in the lower bar should be drilled between the grooves in one row: two along the edges and the rest between them with a frequency of 300 mm. Holes are drilled in the upper bar in the same way, only in two rows (separately for each groove). Fastening is carried out using furniture screws 12–16 mm long with a countersunk or flat head.

Important. Before installing the lower bar, do not forget to insert special stoppers for doors into the lower slots - each has a separate parking stopper, which is set after adjusting it.

Installing guides

The top guide is installed flush with the end of the roof. First you need to fix one side of the bar, then align it with the end, and then install the second. Next, you need to fasten the remaining intermediate screws. If you assemble the doors in the described sequence, then the skew of the bar can be eliminated.

Important. The bottom rail is fixed not flush, but indented from the end into the depth of the cabinet by 15 mm. This distance ensures that the doors will stand in a strictly vertical position without tilting.

Door installation

The next step is to install the doors, but first you need to deal with the pattern on them (if any). The first step is to install the door on the rear slots. To do this, carefully insert the upper part into the rear upper groove, squeeze the spring-loaded lower wheels and bring them to the lower rear slot. If the design of the cabinet provides for more than two doors, it is necessary to install the second door on the rear rails in the same way. outer door placed last.

Door adjustment

Now your task is to properly adjust the doors. For these purposes, at the bottom of the doors on both sides there are holes and adjusting screws for a hexagon by 5.

Using L-key turn the bolt clockwise or counterclockwise. Pay attention to how the gap between the door and the sidewall changes - the smaller its width, the better.

After adjusting the doors, you need to correctly adjust the stoppers. They are designed to keep the doors stationary in the closed position. Set them in such a way that the wheel exactly hits the stopper, and the end of the door does not reach the wall by about a millimeter. When there is more than one door, the extreme latches are first adjusted, and then the rest are adjusted relative to them.

On the side ends Adjusted doors (on both sides) must be affixed with buffer fleece tape. This tape helps prevent the doors from colliding with each other, as well as preventing damage to the chipboard. Sometimes, after filling the cabinet with things, the design is slightly deformed, after which the doors need to be re-adjusted.

First you need to make sure that all work on leveling the walls, floor, finishing (including the installation of an apron), wiring, connecting sockets and conducting water supply is completed. It will be very difficult to complete the listed types of work with an already installed kitchen cabinet.

Before collecting Kitchen Cabinet, take care of preparing the necessary tools:

perforator, drill with a diameter of 6 and 8 mm, a drill (and an adapter for it) and corresponding drills;

screwdriver (required!);

jigsaw or hacksaw for metal (to saw off the countertop);

hex key;

tools: square and level, tape measure, hammer, pliers and cutter.

Advice!You can borrow the missing positions from someone, but it is better to purchase these tools yourself in order to be able to use them if necessary. A screwdriver and a hammer drill will come in handy in every home.

In order to assemble a kitchen cabinet, you should also prepare various fasteners:

furniture nails;

euro screws;

mounting strip (rail) for hanging;

silicone-based sealant;

ties that fasten the sections together;

self-tapping screws: 15–16 mm for fittings and 70 mm for hanging cabinets;

corners, dowels, anchor bolts(usually included with the headset);

conductor for dowels (preferably).

If you have a manual that tells you how to assemble the cabinet, study it carefully. It should describe (or draw) and number the details of the headset, as well as determine the assembly sequence. Then you need to check the integrity of the package and decompose all the available elements. Since today almost all kitchen sets consist of modules, the process of assembling a cabinet resembles working with a designer.

Usually, they start to assemble a kitchen cabinet from the bottom: first, they install the lower cabinets, then the countertop, then they form and hang the upper modules, draw markings on the wall, and then the modules are installed and hung.

What is the algorithm for installing kitchen cabinet parts? Do you need to assemble the lower sections first or, conversely, the upper ones? You can install in these two ways. There are masters who start the installation process from the upper modules so that the lower cabinets do not interfere with work.

note that upper cabinets installed without facades, so their installation will be easier. Plus, in this way you can identify the gaps between the facades directly on the wall.

If you decide to assemble the kitchen yourself, it is better to start from the bottom tier. Standard cabinets are divided depending on the type of construction, each of which has its own characteristics.

So, it was decided to assemble the kitchen, starting with the lower modules.

First of all, we connect the bottom with the side walls using the euro screws that are included in the kit.

We carry out the installation of the upper strips, on which we will then lay the countertop. Then we measure the diagonals of the cabinet using a tape measure. If their length differs by no more than 1.5–3 mm, we continue the workflow.

We fix the back wall of a rather thin fiberboard with small nails or construction stapler. In order for the fastening to be reliable, follow the step frequency (it should not exceed 8–10 mm).

On the lower part pedestals install legs, fixing them with self-tapping screws.

We install hinges in pre-made nests and fix them with self-tapping screws, then we attach the lower facades to the hinges.

After the cabinet is in a vertical position, you need to align the doors using the adjusting screws on the hinges.

If you managed to assemble the headset, you need to install the handles at the end.

Drawers are easier to assemble using a slightly different technology.

First, on the side walls, you need to make markings for installing metal guides.

In accordance with the markings, we fix the guides, and then we connect the side walls with the bottom and upper slats.

We assemble retractable elements by installing mechanisms on their side surfaces.

Note! The bottom of such boxes is the weakest point. It is best to fasten it with a construction stapler with a step frequency of 5–8 mm.

We equip the front parts of the drawers with handles.

This item is the easiest to assemble.

First you need to assemble the "cabinet box" by connecting the bottom, top and side walls with euro screws.

We install the loops in the nests and fix them with self-tapping screws.

Advice! Do not rush to hang the doors, this will make it difficult to mount the cabinets on the wall.

The last step is attaching the hangers. If everything worked out, feel free to proceed with the installation of a kitchen cabinet.

We begin the installation process with the installation of the upper part of the structure, since the assembled lower cabinet is already installed worktop may complicate the installation of mounted modules.

We apply markings on the wall to fix wall cabinets.

We measure the height of the countertop and add 50 to 60 cm to the resulting value, depending on our height. Thus, we get the height of the lower edge of the wall cabinets.

From this line we measure the distance to the attachment point of the wall cabinet and draw another line. Here we will fix the fasteners.

Advice! If your headset has corner cupboard, you should start assembling the upper part from it, and after its installation, proceed with the installation of the remaining elements.

After marking, you can begin to install fasteners.

In the event that we hang cabinets on hinges, we need to drill recesses with a diameter of 8 mm in the wall and hammer plastic dowels into them.

Then we install locking screws with hooks at the ends in the dowels and then hang the cabinets.

Another way is to hang elements on a metal tire. To do this, fasteners are attached to the modules themselves. special form, which cling to a metal profile fixed to the wall (as in the photo).

This method is considered more reliable, so it is better to use it if possible, besides, the cost of the tire cannot be called high.

After installing the modules, you can hang the fronts and align them using the adjusting screws.

Assembling the floor part is a little easier than the rest.

First, with an electric jigsaw or a hacksaw with a thin blade, we cut holes in the back walls of the pedestals for communications. The edges of the cuts are treated with a silicone-based sealant to protect the cabinet from getting wet and deforming.

We fasten the cabinet to the place intended for it, set it according to the level, then connect it with furniture ties with neighboring cabinets.

After installing all the cabinets, we install the countertop.

If the countertop does not fit, cut its panel and install a protective end cap.

Note! The worktop must be installed in such a way that the gap between it and the kitchen wall is at least 5 mm (to avoid deformation).

How to assemble the tabletop:

We lower the countertop onto the cabinets and make markings on its lower surface at the installation site of the sink.

We remove the countertop and, placing it on a table or workbench, cut out a hole for the sink. This can be done by drilling several holes with a drill and connecting them with a jigsaw.

We install and fix the sink on the countertop, then we process the junction with silicone sealant.

We carry out the installation of the countertop with a fixed sink on the kitchen cabinets, after which we align it horizontally and plane, and then fix it on kitchen modules. For this you can take special fasteners or simply drive the spikes on the tabletop into the sockets drilled into the walls of the modules.

The junction of the tabletop and the wall can be masked with a special plinth.

Here's how to assemble the kitchen cabinet. Now you can connect the sink to the water supply and sewerage, place household appliances and use the kitchen as usual.
