FAQs
How long does assembly typically take?
With the cam and dowel system, assembly can often be completed in under an hour for a single cabinet, significantly faster than traditional methods.
What tools are required for assembly?
Basic DIY tools are generally needed, including a screwdriver (likely Phillips head), a rubber mallet or hammer (for dowels), and potentially wood glue.
Are the doors handed (left or right opening)?
No, the doors are reversible, meaning you can choose to hinge them on either the left or right side during installation to suit your specific kitchen layout.
What is the purpose of the rear service void?
The 49mm rear service void is designed to provide space for concealing plumbing pipes and electrical wiring behind the cabinet, creating a cleaner look.
Can I attach custom door handles?
Yes, this cabinet is designed to accept standard door handles, which are sold separately. You will need to drill pilot holes if necessary.
How do I clean the cabinet finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
What is the warranty period for this cabinet?
Warranty information is typically detailed by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the retailer's website for specifics on warranty coverage.
Troubleshooting
Cabinet door does not align correctly.
Adjust the screws on the soft-close hinges to fine-tune the door's position. Ensure the cabinet itself is level using the adjustable legs.
Cam locks are difficult to tighten or do not secure properly.
Ensure the cam dowels are fully inserted and the glue has dried. Check that the panels are correctly seated before attempting to tighten the cam locks. Do not overtighten.
Cabinet wobbles or feels unstable.
Fully extend and adjust the four 150mm legs to the floor. Ensure all cam locks are securely tightened and the back panel is fitted correctly.
Soft-close mechanism is not working.
Check that the hinges are correctly installed and engaged with the cabinet frame. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing fully.
