Any furniture should combine the beauty of design and ease of use. In small apartments, where every square centimeter is worth its weight in gold, the compactness of furniture plays a huge role. In that case, ideal solution There will be a corner cabinet installed, which, despite its large capacity, will not take up much space. Having ordered the furniture he likes, the buyer is faced with the issue of installation. There are two options for getting out of the situation - entrust the assembly to strangers and overpay an impressive amount of money for it, or solve this problem yourself.
The advantage of corner cabinets is that they take up little space, but they can accommodate a lot of things.
Try to accurately align all the holes, do not force them together by inserting a tie when the holes do not yet line up completely.
Specialists know exactly how to assemble the product correctly and quickly.
DIY assembly
Assembling a corner cabinet with your own hands has a number of advantages.
- Firstly, it saves money.
- Secondly, by assembling furniture yourself, you will be able to do everything efficiently, because you cannot always rely on the integrity of hired workers.
Also, despite the fact that this activity is labor-intensive and painstaking, it is also interesting and useful, because after completing this work, you gain new experience. It is important to understand that this process does not have significant difficulties and does not require special professional skills; the buyer receives a kind of large construction set with assembly instructions. Even if the parts kit does not contain instructions, you can always turn to the Internet for help.
This is an ideal option for people living in small apartments oh, where every centimeter is precious.
At least two workers go to assemble furniture and can competently help each other.
Depending on the taste and imagination of the client, as well as on the required functionality of the furniture, the following variations can be distinguished. First of all, such cabinets are divided into built-in and free-standing (cabinet). Cases can be made either as a one-piece structure or as a combination of two direct components. According to their form, they are divided into the following groups:
- triangular;
- trapezoidal;
- L-shaped;
- five-walled;
- rounded execution.
However, each product comes with detailed instructions for assembling a corner cabinet.
When installing the door, the latch must be in the open position. Then it must be closed.
When a corner wardrobe is installed in combination with a compartment model, it is possible that the door of the former will hit the compartment.
The choice of shape depends on the wishes of the customer, as well as on the characteristics of the room. According to the type of opening of the doors, they are divided into swing, sliding (compartment) and combined.
The assembly diagram for the corner wardrobe is also included with the product.
The design of the selected product should be combined with the style of the rest of the room. This applies to both execution style and color scheme.
When looking for professionals, focus not on their price, but on their skill.
Corner cabinets look small, but in fact they are quite spacious due to their depth.
Selection of materials and tools
The material from which your cabinet will be made is important aspect, on which the beauty and durability of the furniture will depend. Pricing policy The market is divided into two groups.
- The first, more expensive, includes products made from natural wood. They are different at a high price, heavy weight and high maintenance requirements.
- Products made from chipboard are cheaper and easier to install and operate ( particle board) and MDF (fine fraction). However, one of the disadvantages is their lower durability.
A corner cabinet allows you to effectively use non-working areas adjacent to cabinet furniture, as well as space in the corners of rooms.
Assembly is quite simple and can easily be done on your own.
Self-assembly of a corner cabinet will require a certain set of tools. Basically these are:
- hammer drill for drilling holes in the wall;
- screwdriver;
- set of hex keys;
- hammer;
- screwdriver;
- hacksaw.
Schematic diagrams of the location of parts and the order of their assembly into the finished product are indicated in the drawings in the installation instructions.
If a store-bought assembly does not include additional assembly fittings (screws, plugs, hinges, confirmation, etc.), you must take care of purchasing them yourself. This process does not require any special carpentry tools.
Schematic diagrams of the location of parts and the order of their assembly into the finished product are indicated in the drawings in the installation instructions.
Before installing the strike plate under the hinges, you need to clearly know which way the door will open.
Assembly of a corner cabinet and its features
- If an ordinary cabinet can simply be securely placed on flat surface, then the main feature of such headsets is their installation with fasteners directly to the wall. Therefore, at the first stage of work it is necessary to prepare holes for fasteners. Then the installation of monolithic load-bearing walls, to which the remaining parts will be completed.
- You must immediately compare the number of parts available with what the instructions for assembling a corner cabinet suggest. In case of shortage, it is better to contact the store immediately. It is important to familiarize yourself in detail with the type of parts, as well as their connections.
- After marking is applied, holes are drilled and the cabinet is assembled from large parts to smaller ones.
- 4. At the end of the work, hinges are attached to the walls, and doors are hung on them. This point must be taken into account at the calculation stage, clearly understanding in which direction the sash will open.
- All work on the doors is carried out only with the latch in the open position, which is closed after installation. If the design includes a combination with a sliding wardrobe, you need to make sure that the sliding door does not interfere with other elements of the furniture.
- After completing the work, you can take care of the appearance of the finished product. All connections are closed with plugs matching the color of the surface; if there is no end decorative strip, you can stick it on yourself, then use a utility knife to remove the excess.
After drilling each hole, immediately insert the intersection ties and secure them.
When a corner wardrobe is installed in combination with a compartment model, it is possible that the door of the former will hit the compartment.
Separately, it is worth noting the installation of retractable cabinets, since this is the most critical moment in assembling such headsets. Pull-out shelves and the cabinets move inside the structure on wheels along special guides. There are options with wooden and metal guides, but if we are talking about a truly high-quality assembly, then wooden version should be dismissed outright. Fastening the guides to the inner walls must be done strictly opposite each other, being sure to adhere to the level. Even the slightest misalignment will lead to difficulty in operating moving furniture parts. If a lot of things will be stored in a cabinet or drawer, or they will be heavy, you can attach two guides on each side. This solution gives the design increased reliability.
In the case where the corner cabinet project was developed by the customer independently, it is recommended to invite company specialists for assembly.
Assembling such a product is a feasible task, especially with the help of instructions.
All modules are attached to each other using an intersection tie.
At the end, go over the ties again.
VIDEO: Corner wardrobe in the hallway!
The sliding wardrobe, invented in the USA, has become widely used as the main type of storage for household items and clothing. In our country, this type of furniture appeared only in the middle of the last century. This is surprising because many of us have lived in small apartments, in which its advantages are obvious.
Domestic craftsmen were in no hurry to make a wardrobe with their own hands. The reason is that the case version, except sliding doors instead of doors, it no longer has any advantages over the usual wardrobe.
It is much easier to make a built-in wardrobe with your own hands. Its manufacture will require significant less material, and even an inexperienced carpenter can make such a compartment on his own. With a smaller footprint, this storage option will have a larger volume than a cabinet storage option.
Sliding wardrobe design: distinctive features
The sliding doors of the first wardrobes produced by our industry did not have rollers for movement. At the bottom there was a longitudinal tenon along which the door moved, which had a groove along the lower end.
Such simplest design was quite reliable. Its disadvantage was that moving the doors required great effort, because the cabinet itself and the doors were made of heavy material, which was chipboard at that time.
You can make a sliding wardrobe with your own hands, built-in or in a regular mobile version. You can also make a corner cabinet yourself, either built-in or cabinet-mounted.
A corner wardrobe with your own hands must be made in relation to a specific place.
In plan, it can have the shape of a triangle, trapezoid, L or U-shape. Among other types, five-walled can be distinguished. This design has the shape of a pentagon with 3 right and 2 obtuse angles.
This diversity is the versatility of a corner wardrobe. If everything is clear with other forms, then the five-wall requires clarity. This version of the sliding wardrobe, occupying a slightly larger area, is much more spacious than, for example, a triangular analogue.
Stages of preparation for making a five-wall
When making a wardrobe with your own hands, do not try to saw it at home sheet material, from which the side walls and doors will be made. It is almost impossible to manually achieve the required dimensional accuracy, especially for a corner wardrobe. Having decided on the dimensions of its sides and doors, it is advisable to use the services of a workshop where it is possible to ensure the required cutting accuracy. It is also advisable to process the ends that will be visible from the outside. The elements located inside the cabinet can be made independently.
Before you do corner compartment do it yourself, check the installation location. This is especially important for the built-in option. Any unevenness in the floor or ceiling where the doors will move must be corrected. Otherwise, there will be problems with installing guides for moving doors.
Make sure not electrical outlets and other elements that may affect the installation of a wardrobe with your own hands. Consider the size of the baseboards and, if any, moldings on the walls under the ceiling.
It is not advisable to save on a sliding door system. More expensive Italian or German designs will pay for themselves due to reliability and long-term operation.
There is no point in showing the specific design of the carriages. There are quite a lot of them, and each of them has its own installation characteristics. First you need to figure out how to install: the dimensions of the cabinet elements will depend on this. A more reliable option is for doors with an upper running carriage. At the bottom of the door there will be a roller moving along a guide.
Before you start making a sliding wardrobe with your own hands, you should have the appropriate tools. When making a built-in version, a hammer drill is required. You will need a power tool to screw in the screws. It is advisable to have a manual circular saw with a guide ruler. A hand saw will also work.
You will need an angle clamp, a tape measure, a stapler, a soft and hard hammer, a drill with a set of drills, and a hex key for screwing in confirmations. To drill confirmation holes to a given depth, you will need confirmation drills. For simple drills, a stopper can be used.
It is necessary to purchase dowels, supports for shelves and screws.
Drilling holes in chipboard is the main operation when assembling furniture
To fasten panels made for furniture from chipboard, confirmats are used. Typically, confirmats with dimensions D×L = 6.4×50 mm are used for furniture. This mount has d=4.4 mm. The hole diameter for it should be in the range of 4.5-5 mm. With a larger diameter, the fastening will not be reliable; with a smaller diameter, the confirmat can destroy the fiberboard material.
To drill holes, special drills are used, which drill to a depth L and provide the appropriate dimensions in the upper part of the confirmat (H and h). Then the surface of the slab is countersunk to fit the cap. Screw in the confirmation without putting much effort, using a special hex key.
3 drilling options:
- drilling through the entire thickness;
- drilling in the end;
- drilling in 2 parts at the same time.
Another, most difficult option is drilling for dowels. General condition For all types of drilling, the position of the drill is perpendicular to the surface.
Let's consider the option of drilling in 2 parts. The parts are placed next to each other and secured using an angle clamp or other device. After this, marking and drilling are performed. This option is the fastest and most accurate. To determine the mark by the thickness of the chipboard, it is advisable to make it from wood or aluminum corner sample. If the chipboard thickness is 16 mm, then the center of the hole in the template should be exactly in the middle.
If the parts are connected in such a way that the holes are drilled separately, then the strength of the fastening depends on the accuracy of the markings. This is how you have to drill when connecting parts to dowels. For example, to install a cabinet lid on dowels, holes are first made in it using a drill with a diameter of 8 mm with a limiter that does not allow drilling through it. Holes from the edge of the cover are drilled taking into account the indentation of the sidewalls, if provided. Using the same drill, holes are made in the sidewalls to a depth of 20 mm. The accuracy of the marking determines whether the dowels will fit into the holes. The ends of the dowels are placed on glue. When assembling, craftsmen do not recommend pouring glue into the holes on the lid; you may have to disassemble the cabinet.
It is especially easy to assemble a built-in wardrobe, which will have only 2 sides, fixed perpendicular to the wall. These parts are securely attached to the ceiling, floor and wall using corners. The corner is secured to the base using plastic dowels and self-tapping screws. The sidewall is secured to the corners with self-tapping screws. It is between these elements that the door movement system must be secured.
With proper preparation, there should be no problems with assembling the cabinet.
Instead of struggling with choosing furniture for a small apartment, it’s better to learn how to make a corner wardrobe with your own hands. After all, no matter how little space there is, the corners in the hallway, kitchen, and rooms remain empty. A hand-made cabinet will not only solve the problem of placing things, it will elegantly decorate the interior.
Design
There is no exemplary standard design that a corner wardrobe must comply with. It can be built-in (when you only need to install doors) or framed, have various sizes, different number of sides (triangular, trapezoidal, L- or U-shaped).
IN recent years The radius sliding wardrobe has become popular, which is a furniture structure devoid of sharp corners. Lovers of beauty will undoubtedly appreciate the curved doors that slide along the corresponding profiles. This layout allows you to save space and elegantly solve the problem of storing a large number of things.
In Fig.2. angular are scheme No. 1 (concave), No. 2 (convex), No. 5 (convex massive column furniture design or a separate small wardrobe). All other options for radius sliding wardrobes can be obtained by combining the 6 initial types listed above.
Radius is beautiful and functional
The movement of the radius cabinet doors is smooth and almost silent. Similar characteristics are provided by the profile included in the sliding mechanism. Manufacturers offer it in steel or aluminum. We recommend choosing the second option for the following reasons:
- increased resistance to damage;
- minimizing noise when the door slides.
Price aluminum profile higher than steel. However, over the course of long-term use, you will appreciate your choice.
The wall thickness must be at least 0.12 cm. A thicker profile increases the reliability of fastening. High-quality components are produced by Komandor, Absolut, Raumplus, Aristo, and others. If the height of the radius cabinet is above 3 m, we recommend taking the Raumplus profile.
The doors of a radius sliding wardrobe can be with an upper sliding system or with a lower one. In the first case, the doors hang on rollers. Movement is carried out along the upper guide. The initial impression of the suspension system is excellent. However, the large load on the upper horizon causes its gradual sagging. The suspension system wears out quickly without regular maintenance can suddenly lock the door at the most inopportune moment.
The second sliding system looks preferable for daily household use. The sash slides along the lower guide, the door is attached and fixed along the upper one. Load distribution evenly, assembled structure will last longer.
Door elements
Assembling corner wardrobes with your own hands without a diagram showing the exact dimensions is impossible. Particular attention must be paid to the moving part of the structure - the doors. You cannot miss anything or take the wrong size; in such a case, the doors will not be able to be used normally.
Before assembling your closet, let's take a closer look at the elements of doors with a bottom sliding system:
- Vertical side profiles can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. During operation they are used as handles. Symmetrical profiles look the same on both sides, asymmetrical ones create a difference between the outer and external parties.
- The asymmetrical rollers located at the top are designed to fix the sashes in the opening.
- The upper door frame is necessary for attaching wheels to it, as well as for subsequent fixation of the structure.
- The lower door frame is used to install the lower wheels and ensure proper sliding of the doors.
- The internal door filler (wood, glass, mirror) performs a decorative function and gives the entire interior a personality trait.
- The seal attached to the vertical side profiles, in addition to softening the impact of the door on the cabinet wall, protects the moving structure from dust.
- The door plug is used to secure the side vertical profiles.
- The assembly and adjustment screws allow you to change the sliding speed of the sashes.
- The stopper makes it possible to fix the door and avoid unintended opening of the doors.
Calculation of cabinet capacity
Any step by step instructions gives confidence in the work started, however, without a preliminary assessment of capacity, the result will be disappointing. Before drawing drawings and studying the assembly manual, decide what you will put on the shelves or hang. Then it will be difficult to move the functional sections; a beautiful-looking cabinet can become a source of bad mood.
- to arrange things according to the season, provide at least 2 sections for outerwear;
- when installing recessed lamps, the upper horizon of the cabinet is moved forward by 12-17 cm;
- not only convenient, but also functional when the depth of the shelves is at least 60 cm;
- shelf widths of more than 65 cm increase the risk of them sagging;
- the intershelf distance should be no more than 35 cm;
- accept a door width of 50 cm; smaller sizes may cause the guides to fall out;
- the number of functional compartments should be proportional to the number of sashes;
- designing dimensions drawers, please note special attention on the location of the door frames, too wide it will be impossible to reach;
- doors must be the same width;
- depends on the thickness of the chipboard appearance and cabinet strength;
- The material for the roof, side walls, and doors will be chipboard; the back wall can be made of fiberboard 3 mm thick.
The most practical option is the production of a built-in radius wardrobe. This design will easily blend with the walls, hide possible defects, and require less material consumption and time. Housewives will appreciate the absence of gaps between the wall and the cabinet, where dust constantly accumulates
Assembling the closet
To install the designed cabinet you will definitely need:
- screwdriver;
- hammer;
- square;
- drill;
- pencil.
Before you begin assembling the structure, also make sure you have:
- drawings;
- furniture board in 18 mm;
- doors and guides;
- “insides” of the cabinet (drawers, hangers, handles);
- door hardware, screws, dowels;
- side, bottom and top false panels.
Step-by-step assembly order:
- Taking measurements and drawing “on the ground” where the cabinet will be installed (you will need a pencil and a level). Marked on the wall vertical racks, on the floor and ceiling - profiles.
- Determining the location for the shelves, drilling holes for dowels, hammering them in with a hammer.
- Fastening profiles for shelves to the wall, installing their lower holders.
- Marking the mezzanine shelf and fastening it with self-tapping screws.
- Adjusting the side wall to size and installing it.
- Installation of internal “filling” (shelves, drawers, etc.).
- Installation of pre-prepared false panels, attaching them with a screwdriver to the floor, ceiling, side wall.
- Cutting and bending the upper and lower profiles (don’t forget to insert 1 stopper per door), attaching them with screws to the false panel.
- Installation assembled door. The description of the actions is as follows:
- decorating with self-adhesive film (if necessary),
- installation of vertical profiles with screws,
- installing a door seal,
- fixing the top and bottom door frames,
- attaching the bottom and top of the rollers,
- inserting the top guide, then the bottom,
- checking the correct sliding, adjusting it (if required) with a hexagon.
Corner kitchen cabinets are quite popular furnishing items. They do not take up too much space due to the unique location. Corner cabinets can be made at home from various materials. Of course, you can cope with the task by doing as indicated in the instructions below.
The positive aspects that distinguish a corner wall cabinet for the kitchen include:
- increase usable area premises due to proper placement of furniture. Installation is carried out in places where it is difficult to install other options;
- high capacity and functionality. At first glance, it may seem that the corner floor cabinets are not so large, however, inside them you can install a variety of shelves and arrange compartments for organized storage food and utensils;
- the ability to choose optimal sizes, since floor-standing cabinets are varied in size. Almost every person is able to understand how to collect convenient cabinets to the kitchen, giving them the necessary parameters;
- variety of methods that can be used to decorate front panels. If desired, the kitchen floor cabinet can be decorated glass inserts or patterns. This will make the finished product more attractive. However, Leroy Merlin kitchens already look aesthetically pleasing and do not require any additions;
- Possibility of combination with other items in the kitchen.
Main features of corner models
The list of the most important differences includes:
- doors are not required. Upper cabinet open type Great for storing beautiful dinnerware sets;
- variety of forms. The design can be triangular, L-shaped, or even trapezoidal (by the way, triangular variations have become very widespread in our time). Choosing the right varieties depends on the people who will be using the cabinets and their preferences;
- the lower part of the structure, located on the floor, is often used to create sinks. The sink placed on top will be convenient to use;
- possibility of embedding large species household appliances for its more efficient operation;
- used for facade decoration different methods. The most common options are applying a pattern to wall cabinets or upholstering them with some material;
- the lower cabinet under the sink is often equipped with legs, which makes cleaning the room easier;
- The upper corner cabinet can be equipped with carousel shelves to store dishes and other accessories.
Corner kitchen cabinet dimensions
The dimensions of kitchen furniture can vary widely. If they are included in kitchen set, then they have optimal sizes to combine with other set components. If the cabinet is selected separately or designed independently, then it must match the other elements.
To the person who is going to create a corner kitchen cabinet with your own hands, it is very important to determine the size of the future product. They are poured depending on whether the new piece of furniture will be located on the floor or on the wall.
The corner-type hanging cabinet has standard dimensions. The width is 15-80 cm, and this parameter must correspond to the shape of the cabinet and its width. The standard depth is 35 cm, however, the calculation must take into account the depth of the drawers that will be located below. It is recommended to install the finished product at a distance of 50 cm from the cabinets located below. This - standard sizes any wall cabinet. This is necessary for those people who are interested in how to calculate corner option without making a mistake.
If we are talking about creating floor furniture, then it will have other standard sizes. They need to be taken into account when planning to make a kitchen drawing. For a compact room would be better suited a cabinet 50 cm deep, no more. The typical height is 85 cm (however, this can be varied in individual cases). The width can be 15-80 cm, and optimal indicator– 60 cm.
As a rule, the lower element is installed after the installation of the upper one has been completely completed. The owner has the right to choose furniture with or without legs.
Corner cabinet for sink
A cabinet under the sink is a very common option. Its dimensions can vary widely, as they depend on the washing parameters. You also need to take into account the method by which the structure will be secured. For such cabinets, standard sizes are calculated individually. The width can be more than 60 cm, and the depth can reach 80 cm (the downside is that such an interior element will be very difficult to use). As a rule, for large products a pair of facades is chosen. However, if necessary, assemble models with one door.
Taking measurements and drawings
The assembly of a corner cabinet cannot begin without creating a diagram. In turn, to carry out drawing work, you need to take measurements, and then create a kitchen diagram so as not to make a mistake. When performing this work, you need to take into account some nuances:
- The thickness of the walls should be chosen taking into account what objects will be placed on them. It is important to show on the diagram whether the finished structure will accommodate household appliances or not. The thickness of typical shelves is 18 mm. If you plan to store something heavy on them, it is better to choose blanks with a thickness of 21 mm or more;
- the depth of the finished products should not be more than 40 cm;
- You should not place the hanging cabinet too low if there is a stove directly underneath it, as the material will deteriorate under the influence of elevated temperatures.
According to the standards, the size of the corner cabinet is 60x60 cm, while the width of the front panel is 42 cm and the depth is 30 cm. Corner kitchen- This great option for small apartments where it is difficult to implement another arrangement option. Look at the photos presented on our website to find the perfect option.

Classmates
Peculiarities
A sliding wardrobe is the same wardrobe with hinged doors, but they are sliding. This saves up to 600 mm. space in front of him. By design they can be:
- Built-in.
At the same time structural elements Such furniture is the ceiling, floor, as well as the walls of the room. The most economical in terms of using living space.
Labor-intensive to manufacture with poor quality construction work. Device fastening elements causes defects on walls and ceilings. It is no longer possible to move it.
- Hull.
They differ from built-in cabinets in their mobility and installation time. Protect the wall decoration from contact with the internal contents and doors.
Depending on where they are located inside the home, they can be straight, angular or radial. In turn, corner structures can be created:
- with a beveled corner facade with a hinged door;
- with elements located at an angle relative to each other;
- like two independent pieces of furniture installed in the corner.
- Radial.
Only a real idea of technical advantages and the functionality of the chosen design will give a tangible economic and aesthetic effect.
Creativity
The issue of coordinating and budgeting an event with stakeholders is not idle. Not only the technical and economic indicators of the designed furniture, but also the social aspects of family life directly depend on its solution.
Preparing a preliminary design is not as labor-intensive as the main process of creating cabinet or built-in furniture. But it is the accuracy of the developed drawings and diagrams that will be the fundamental stone of the entire event.
- roulette;
- plumb line, levels (not bad if laser);
- squares of various sizes;
- flat wooden slats or metal profile for drywall.
First of all, we decide on the depth of the furniture. In practice, this size is taken to be 50 cm. Taking into account that 8-12 cm of them will be occupied by doors.
We carefully check the geometry of the location of the future furniture. We especially accurately measure:
- the size of the angle between the walls;
- curvilinearity and defects of walls;
- distance and parallelism of floor and ceiling;
- we take into account the minimum distance between them;
- horizontality, evenness, rigidity of the floor.
Please note: to eliminate unnecessary material costs and increased labor intensity, even without taking into account moral damage, it is necessary to once again check the accuracy of all measurements and the functionality of all accessories.
Based on the existing preliminary design and the obtained dimensions, we prepare the project itself, taking into account:
- Assembly sequences carried out on site.
- Ensuring the greatest strength and reliability of the structure.
- In terms of its internal content it must be functional.
- Ensure ease of installation and further use of built-in fittings.
- Between the shelves, a distance of no more than 40 cm will be rational.
- The height of the outerwear compartment is equal to the length of the clothing itself + 10 cm.
- The practical height for attaching the hanger rod is at shoulder level.
- The maximum height of the mezzanine shelf is 50cm.
- The layout of the racks of the lower compartment is carried out depending on the position of the doors, for ease of use.
- The same applies to drawers and baskets.
Material
Here, both decorative and technological aspects of the aspect should be taken into account. The financial side of the issue is also important. What to choose:
- Tree.
Traditional, and now even prestigious material. Its disadvantage is the possibility of warping when humidity changes. Alternatively, it may have a right to exist.
- Drywall.
It is difficult to classify it as a furniture material, but it can still be done. Can only be used in combination with a metal frame, this way you can build. The doors will be made of a different material. It's more likely building structure than furniture.
- Chipboard laminated or cached with decorative film;
- particle board of various densities and moisture resistance.
Children's furniture is made from grade E-1 boards.
- MDF (fine fraction) made of wood impregnated with a binder. It has found its greatest application in furniture making.
- Fiberboard (fibreboard), the same hardboard.
MDF boards and high-density laminated chipboard are the most suitable materials for furniture construction. The most responsible approach should be taken when calculating the width of the sashes.
Expert advice: The calculation is as follows: choose the largest door width. Determine the number of overlaps (1 less than the number of doors). Check the resulting width. If it doesn’t converge, we increase the number of doors. It is possible to change the internal layout.
- You can't make too many of them. It will just be inconvenient.
- You can't make it too wide - it will jam if it moves poorly. The most practical width is no more than 700 mm.
- The overlap of doors must be done within 50-70 millimeters. If there is more, it will be inconvenient to use the internal shelves. If it is less, cracks will appear and you will need to use the sashes with caution.
- The most narrow shelf must be wider than the door, otherwise it will be inaccessible.
The eyes are afraid
Each of its technological transitions demonstrates real results of work. Of course, we check the availability of the required tool:
- - with drills (for confirmation - 4.5 mm);
- screwdriver;
- circular saw with ruler;
- hand saw;
- corner clamp;
- roulette;
- stapler;
- regular and soft hammer;
- hex key for confirmat (furniture screw).
You will also need confirmations D×L = 6.4×50 mm, self-tapping screws, furniture corners for shelves and wooden dowels. Technological points:
- Pre-cut and edged sheets of MDF or chipboard are marked for drilling holes for dowels and confirmats. The quality of assembly and general view products.
- Clamping and drilling of mutually perpendicular parts is carried out using an angle clamp.
- Drilling for confirmation is performed with a special confirmation drill. It is possible to drill with two drills of different diameters followed by countersinking.
- The confirmations are tightened with a little force using a hex wrench.
Take note: It is convenient to assemble and fasten the cabinet to the wall using a U-shaped profile.
- The choice of hangers for sashes is quite large, but the most practical among them are double-rail systems with a bottom support. The best is imported.
