Cabinet assembly

Takes about 1 hr 20 min

A free-standing cabinet looks simple until the shutters do not meet in the middle. The carpenter builds the carcass, fits the back panel so the unit stays square, sets the shelf pins at the heights you want, and hangs the shutters. The hinges are adjusted until the doors close in line, and a tall unit is anchored to the wall with the tie in the kit.

Allow about 80 minutes, from the price shown on this page.

Keep the boxes where the cabinet will stand, check for skirting or a socket behind that may stop it sitting flat, and decide your shelf heights in advance.

Questions about this service

Why do my cabinet doors not line up?

Usually the carcass is slightly out of square or the hinges need adjusting. The carpenter fixes the back panel first, then tunes the hinges.

Is wall anchoring included?

Yes, using the tie supplied with the kit, once you agree to the drilling.

Can you build a custom cabinet?

This service is for flat-pack kits. For made-to-measure work, book a Carpenter consultation for a written quote.
