Kitchen Assembly Instructions

Kitchen furniture from a workshop or factory comes in a disassembled state. You can entrust the assembly to specialists, but it is better to make the owner of few people. Only those who work "as for themselves", and such are extremely rare. Therefore, many prefer to assemble the kitchen set on their own. It will take a decent amount of time, but the quality will be at the height.

Instruments

Before collecting a kitchen set, you need to collect a tool for work. Simple tools are required, but they significantly accelerate and simplify work.

Screwdriver or screwdriver set.
Drill with drills of different diameter.
If concrete or brick walls need a perforator - drill holes for fastening upper cabinets.
It may be necessary to have a hacksaw or an electrolovka.
Hex key - under fasteners (can go in the set).
Hammer, line, carbon, bubble level.

Kitchen assembly with their own hands can take a day or even more

It is not bad to have a plane builder or a laser level. With it, setting cabinets in one plane is much easier.

Build lockers kitchen headset

The kitchen headset in a disassembled state is a set of solid dimensions, a certain amount of accessories and a set of fasteners. Of all this it is necessary to collect cabinets. Usually there are hinged and outdoor. How to assemble a kitchen set, in what order - the choice is yours. Some craftsmen are more convenient to collect them with pairs - top, then lower and so install. But there are two other ways: first collect all the top, hang them on the wall, then - all the lower. Make and on the contrary - collect and install the lower, then the upper one. In general, any way is right, do as convenient for you.

Correct confirmation setting - in the middle of LDSP

Assembling hinged cabinets

In any case, we start collecting cabinets. The usual mounted cabinet consists of two side panels, tops, bottom, rear walls from LDVP and two doors - facade. The order of assembly is:

Installation of loops

Finally hollow facades (doors) after they gather and put everything in place, but they put the loops from the very beginning. They are mortised (considered more reliable) and overhead.

Types of loops - mortise overhead

Fastening sites are marked on the sidewall and door holes. We fold the sidewall and the door on the smooth surface (table or floor) close to each other, aligning the mark. Apply the loop into place (come in the kit). Finish first to the sidewall, then - to the facade. The door is fine below the level than the sidewall. Under it put the bar of the appropriate size or rolled rag so that it is on the same level, then screw the loop.

I disassemble the loop itself (it consists of two detachable loops, which are connected by a screw. This screw is unscrewed, the doors lay down, and working on the sidewines.

We collect housing

To the sidewalls are dripping top and bottom. They are attached to confirmates - special furniture fasteners, which comes in a set, with a head under the hexagon. If there is a corresponding bit, we put it on the screwdriver, if not, working with a manual key.

How to assemble a kitchen set: assembly of cabinet cases

Places of installation of confirmates are outlined on the outer part of the sidewall. We fold the sidewall and the upper part, install fasteners, then the bottom, and after - the second sidewall.

I turn down the "face" down, lay and align the leaf of laminated fiberboard, which serves as the rear wall. It is nailed with small carnations or brackets from the construction stapler. First, they are nourished in the corners, thoroughly leveling the edges, then in the middle of each of the parties and further, sharing each site in half. As a result, the installation frequency is 1 nail / bracket by about 10 cm.

Installation of corners or loops, shelves holders

The loops, which are hung wall kitchen cabinets are different, they are installed in different ways. We will talk more about them below. The holders of the shelves are also different and according to the material and form, but they are mostly attached equally - in the hole in the wall. Under them in the sidewalls drilled holes. Sometimes they install plastic chips (small hollow plastic cylinders), score them slightly knocking up with a furniture hammer, then the stops for the shelves are put. But most of the metal stops (namely, it is probably needed in kitchen cabinets) simply put in the hole.

Holders for the shelves

Actually, everything, how to assemble the mounted kitchen cabinet you know. For a visual demonstration, look at the video. Outdoor cabinets with shelves without boxes are also collected, only the legs and the upper part are installed on the bottom - it's a tabletop, and it is common to all cabinets and put after all floor cabinets are installed and fastened.

Cabinet assembly with drawers

We continue to assemble the kitchen headset with your own hands. Now the most difficult moment is the cabinets with drawers. The general order of work is this: we install the loop, the bottom and the rear wall. The top countertop is put after all the cabinets are collected and bonded between themselves with screeds. There are still features - on the sidewalls it is necessary to attach guides for boxes. Go.

Setting legs

Before collecting a kitchen set on the bottom, the legs are installed on the bottom. You can install legs and after the frame is assembled, but it is not very easy to twist the heavy bedside table. In any case, it is best if they are adjustable - not always the floor is perfectly smooth. With adjustable legs, it is possible to set them so that the load is redistributed to all legs. For small cabinets - up to 80 cm long - put 4 stops, more than 80 cm need 6 reference points.

Installation of legs on the bottom kitchen headset

If there is a partition in the closet, we have legs under it. If there are no partitions - in the middle. 5-8 cm are retreating from the edges, they are screwed onto a screw of 15 mm long (with a thickness of LDSP 18 mm). In most finished furniture under the legs, there is also a zenkovka - holes of a small diameter. We combine the slots in the legs with holes, install the screws.

Installation of guides and assembly for drawers

On the sidewalls of the lower cabinets there is a markup for the installation of the guides (they are included). For their attachment, Evrovint M6 * 13 is used. We establish the right number of guides on both sidewalls.

Installation of guides in the cabinet with drawers

Boxes are collected using screws 4 * 45. First set guides. Depending on the design, they can be mounted on the walls of the box or on the bottom line of the sidewall. If there is marking (holes) on the wall, then they are put on the sidewalls. If not - on the end. To be sure, look in the assembly instructions. There in the pictures should be the installation process.

How to assemble a kitchen headset: drawer assembly scheme

After the guides are connected, the sidewalls are connected to the rear wall, then the front wall is installed, after - the bottom. Before installing the bottoms, check diagonally. They must coincide to the millimeter. The bottom is attached to nails or brackets.

We collect housing

The build of the body is already familiar: to the sidewalls secure the lid, then the lower part with the legs. We put the cabinet to the place, screw the legs so that the upper cover is at the desired height and was horizontal. The horizon is tested using a bubble or laser level. After installing the lid.

Features of assembling corner cabinet

The main feature is that in budget kitchen headsets, the bottom consists of two parts (to reduce cost). If this cabinet provides for the installation of the sink, the rear wall is almost absent, but there are several tie-cols, which give the stiffness of the structure. Otherwise, it's all as well as when assembling a regular locker with doors.

How to hang cabinets in the kitchen

Even before assembled kitchen sets, it is necessary to purchase for attachment of mounted cabinets canopies and intersection furniture ties. Let's start with the canopies they are of different species, that's what we'll talk about them.

How to assemble the kitchen set you already know, you need to figure it out how to install it in place. Hinged cabinets kitchen headset are mounted on the wall. They are attached with furniture canopies. They are in the form of metal plates with holes under fastening, but there are more complex structures. Cheaper - conventional metal plates. They can be of different shapes, are performed from ordinary or galvanized steel.

Simple canopies

The most familiar option (at the top of the left) is a plate with two small holes for fasteners and one large (a hook or head of the screw installed in the wall is inserted into it). It is installed on the end of the sidewall - on the right and left. With a large load, this type of canopy may snap, as the fastener is at a short distance from each other and the LDSP can fall apart. More reliable option below is more fasteners, but the risk is still there.

Furniture canopies -Vida

Two other types of furniture canopies are more reliable, since one of the screws will be installed also in the cover of the locker, that is, the load will be distributed at a larger area.

Well showed the corners. One edge of this canopy is fastened through the lid. Make a pass-through hole, at the bottom install a bolt with a washer, tightened with a nut (too with a washer). Set them at a distance of 5-10 cm from the edge, if a large load is assumed to put three or four pieces, which is impossible with previous models.

Kitchen cabinets are hung on corners with lining - to compensate the difference in the thickness of the apron

The general lack of all these fasteners - they are unregulated. As they hung, so it will be. To move from the wall or to the wall there is no possibility. If the kitchen apron appears above the plane. Walls, it is necessary to mount the bar or under each fastener to pick up the lining (piece of plywood, wood, etc.). The second drawback - for each canopy, it is necessary to install a separate hook or dowel. Not very comfortable.

More modern furniture canopies for kitchen cabinets

Adjustable

A more complex and expensive canopy consists of a plastic housing, a metal canopy and the adjustment system that allows you to move forward / backward and up / down. These canopies are attached to the lateral walls of the locker from the inside, a small hole is cut in the back wall. A pair with these canopies is a mounting rail or plank. It is attached to the wall, the hooks of canopies are cling to the top of her protrusion. Installing and removing mounted cabinets with this fastening system is very simple, and "loading capacity" they have enough 20-50 kg per canopy (depends on the model and manufacturer).

How to install a kitchen set

As already spoke, the installation of lockers arbitrary. You can first hang up the lower or vice versa. It does not matter. The installation procedure is important: they always start from the corner. From how smooth, this first cabinet will be exposed to depend on how easy it will go to the further installation.

The mounting height of mounted cabinets depends on the growth of "users", but not lower than 45 cm from the level of the table top. When hanging cabinets on the wall marked the horizontal line. It can be drawn with a bubble or water level, but the easiest way is to deploy a plane at the required height with a level or plane builder. On this line, the upper edge of the mounting plate is installed or the cabinets are aligned when mounting on ordinary canopies.

The task and simple and difficult at the same time - to set the cabinets so that they are on the same level, and their walls were vertical and horizontal. In this case, there will be no problems during operation.

Furniture intersection ties

Since the kitchen furniture consists of separate cabinets, they are fastened with each other. There are two options - install, then bore, or first copold, then hang out. The second option is possible in the presence of helpers - even two bonded cabinets hang alone in a single task.

Build lockers with each other with intercreecable screeds. They have different diameters and different lengths - under the LDSP of different thickness. At least two screeds are needed per wall. They are put in the loop area - just below or slightly higher. The two cabinets are exhibited in one plane, fasten the clamps of their walls, make through the hole - on the diameter of the screed, in which the fasteners are installed, is dragged with a screwdriver or a screwdriver.

How to install a countertop on the kitchen set

To assemble the kitchen set finally, you must install the worktop. It is fixed after the cabinets are tight. On the walls, steel corners are installed, which fixes the worktop. Subtleties in the processing of ends and cutouts under the sink, see the video.
