Having step -by -step instructions for assembling the cabinet compartment and the scheme of its design, you can take up such a job yourself. Pre -watch the video on how to assemble the cabinet compartment.

Selection of a place and measured the room for installing a cabinet compartment

1. All furniture is made with perfectly straight corners, which can not be said about the floors and walls in our apartments. Therefore, armed with a plumb line, a square, a roulette and a waterpasis (water level), freeze, the estimated places of installation of the cabinet and select, if not perfect, then at least a place close to the ideal.
2. Apply measurements on paper, drawing up a small plan. Measure the distances between the walls both below and at the upper level. Visually invisible construction flaws can appear when installing the wardrobe and ruin all the work.

Step -by -step instructions for assembling the cabinet compartment

Installation of the base

1. Work on the assembly of the wardrobes with their own hands begin with the installation of the base. The wardrobe - on low adjustable legs, is convenient in that the perfect horizontal plane of the base can be obtained by calibrating screw regulators on the legs.
2. The through structure of the legs allows you to adjust the bottom without much effort. The disadvantage of such a bottom is a slot of about 25 mm, into which garbage and dust can fall.
3. Higher adjustable supports are covered by a decorative panel bar. It gives a more aesthetic appearance, but its installation makes sense with a perfectly flat floor surface.

Cabinet features and stiffener ribs

1. Having fixed the side walls with confirmation, pay attention to the ribs of stiffness. The stability of the entire structure depends on them. An important point - experienced craftsmen are attached to the back wall with screws, and not nailed with nails.
2. The reason for the swinging of the cabinet compartment, in the absence or incorrect installation of stiffness ribs. Their role is played by the transverse screeds in a conjunction with the posterior wall, sewn by sheets of fiberboard.
3. At the same time, vertical pieces and roof of the cabinet compartment are installed on the confirmation.
4. The diagram shows that when assembling the cabinets of the coupe, the transverse screeds are attached to confirmation in each section separately and at different levels. This is necessary to ensure appropriate stiffness throughout the height of the cabinet. In the central part there is one continuous combining screed.

Installation of shelves, taking into account the axial line of the frame

1. As a rule, the installation of shelves does not cause great difficulties during the independent assembly of the cabinet. Often they are located in separate sections at different levels.
2. With the axial location of the shelves, a corner furniture screed is placed. It connects the vertical intermediate wall and the horizontal plane of the shelf.
3. For symmetrical fixation, corner screeds are added on both sides of the central axis of the fastener.
4. There is a different method of fastening the shelves according to the central wall of the cabinet compartment - “helicopter”. This is not a completely standard mounting method, which consists in the attachment of one shelf on the confirmation in the center, checking the shelf along the axis at 90 °, the adjacent shelf is attached to two confirmation. Then the regiment returns to the starting position and is amplified by furniture tightening corners.

Assembly and installation of the cabinet doors

1. Installation and hanging of the cabinet doors are a final and most important stage of installation. The facade, front part sets the overall visual picture for the cabinets of the coupe.
2. Mirrors are glued on the front of the door leaf. For the sticker, a film of the “orakal” type adjacent along the entire plane of the mirror is used and if the mirror is broken, it will not allow the fragments to fly away.
3. Horizontal profiles are installed. In the case of a tight entry of the profile into the groove, you can carefully be knocked out with a mallet.
4. A similar process is done with vertical profiles, and handles are installed.
5. Next, the rollers are installed, and the entire structure is fastened with tight furniture screws.
6. In the upper part of the doors, using assembly screws, a horizontal and vertical door profile is collected and a video is set.
7. The lower part is even easier. The video is installed in the groove intended for it and is fixed with self -tapping screws.
8. A guide rail is installed in the upper part of the cabinet of the cabinet. It is attached strictly flush with bulkheads.
9. The lower rails are somewhat drowned in the back of the cabinet. Check the correct installation with control measurements vertically and horizontal with a waterpasis.
10. The last touch will be the installation of a stopper and fixing the cabinet for the walls. In the upper parts of the cabinet, metal mounts are attached with self -tapping with self -tapping screws and the structure on the wall is fixed.

The sequence of assembly of the wardrobes is approximately the same for all types of this type of furniture.  The assembly of the corner cabinet compartment is no different from the assembly of the built -in wardrobe compartment. Such cabinets are more stable due to the design of the base and additional supports on the walls. Instructions for their assembly are widely presented in the photo on the Internet.
