Details on how to build a closet with your own hands

Often when buying furniture and walls, many companies offer services for assembling this product. Of course, this solution is very convenient from the point of view of saving time. However, do not forget that such a service entails additional embezzlement. As a rule, the company charges 15 to 20 percent of its total cost for the assembly of furniture. Therefore, if you know how to handle a screwdriver and want to save an extra couple of thousand rubles, you just need to know how to build a closet with your own hands.

Installation location

First of all, it should be noted that the installation of this furniture is best done in the room where it will stand. If this is an installation of a built-in cabinet, then, in addition, you should determine where it will be located. After finding out all these nuances, you can start working.

Stages of installation

Whatever material it may be: chipboard, plastic or plywood, in any of these cases, the installation of the cabinet at the first stage is accompanied by the assembly of metal profiles. For this you can use dowels and 12-centimeter screws. It is necessary to find out the slope of the floor with the help of the building level. If it is even, remove the plinth and secure the case of the cabinet. Next, you need to deal with all the wooden parts. First, the lateral parts are mounted horizontally, then the back cover.

After that you can go to the shelves. To do this, attach the L-shaped metal profile to the wall using a special mounting plate. After that, the adjustable foot is mounted to the lower part. All the brackets, and hence the height of the shelf can be made arbitrary. However, if in the design of the cabinet the manufacturer has already provided holes for fixing the screws, mount them exactly where indicated in the instruction. Do not forget to also install the bottom shelf holders. They are usually made of transparent or colored plastic.

An important aspect in the matter of how to build a closet with your own hands is the installation of rollers. To do this, it is necessary to unscrew the set screws and fix on the bottom of the door large, and on the top small devices.

How to build a wardrobe yourself? Working with fragile details

If the design of your cabinet assumes the presence of any glass mirrors and other details, please refer to their installation with special care. Such built-in closets with their own hands (the photo of their installation is shown in the previous image) must be installed very carefully. While you will be installing profiles, shelves and sliding doors (and fragile materials like glass, should be installed at the very last stage), put them away from the workplace and, if possible, cover with a piece of cardboard. This is done in order to:

• Firstly, do not damage their design by accident, if a screwdriver, a hammer or something else falls;
• Secondly, during the drilling and installation of dowels there is a lot of cement dust, and scratching the surface of the glass during wiping with rags is very easy.

As you can see, it's not so difficult to build a closet with your own hands, as it seems at first glance.
