Installation is easy to do yourself, even without prior knowledge, if you follow a few tips and tricks. There are two main steps in total.
1.) First, use a tape measure and pencil to determine the handle positions and mark the drill holes. A small tip: A drilling template covers most handle positions and distances, making positioning easier.
2.) To protect the decor or lacquered surface, it's a good idea to secure a clean piece of wood to this side with a clamp. The wood should be positioned so that it is also drilled through when the holes are made. This prevents the decor from chipping.
3.) The approximate drilling depth should now be marked on the drill bit. A rubber band or a small piece of tape works well for this.
4.) Now drill the hole. It's important to keep the cordless screwdriver straight. To further minimize the risk of decor chipping, reduce the drill speed slightly towards the end. Afterward, you can remove the clamp and wood piece and clean the drill hole.
5.) Finally, attach the furniture handles using the corresponding screws.
Second step: Installing the hinges (cup hinges) and attaching the wardrobe doors
1.) Use a pencil, tape measure, and optionally a drilling template to mark the drill holes for the cup hinges on the wardrobe door and the cabinet body.
2.) Next, use the Forstner bit to cut a circular recess for the hinge in the wardrobe door. Then, drill the pre-marked holes in the cabinet side walls using the cordless screwdriver.
3.) Now, attach the hinge mounting plate to the cabinet body. Afterward, press the hinge into the prepared recess on the wardrobe door. Some hinges need to be screwed in, while others are simply clamped in place using a clip mechanism.
4.) In the next step, place the hinge arm (wardrobe door) onto the mounting plate (cabinet body). You'll hear a loud click when the hinge locks into place.
5.) Finally, adjust the custom-made wardrobe door. All you need is a screwdriver and a keen eye. A small turn of the hinge screws is usually enough to bring everything into alignment. However, a bit of patience may be required, as this small adjustment often needs to be made to several hinge screws.
