FAQs
What is included in the flatpack?
The flatpack typically includes the cabinet panels, cam locks, dowels, screws for assembly, and soft-close hinges. Door handles, plinths, and decorative panels are sold separately.
How long does assembly typically take?
With the quick-build cam and dowel system, assembly can be significantly faster than traditional cabinets, often achievable within an hour for experienced DIYers. Novices might take slightly longer.
Can I change the door hinges to the other side after assembly?
Yes, the doors are reversible and can be hinged on the left or right side to suit your kitchen configuration. You may need to re-drill for handles if they are not symmetrical.
What is the thickness of the cabinet construction?
The cabinet is constructed from robust 18mm thick panels, ensuring durability and a solid feel.
How much space is available at the back for pipes?
There is a 49mm rear service void, providing space to conceal standard plumbing and wiring.
Can this cabinet be used for something other than a sink or hob?
While designed for sinks and hobs, its standard cabinet dimensions (600mm wide) make it adaptable for other storage needs, provided the internal space is suitable.
Troubleshooting
Cabinet door not closing properly
Check hinge alignment and ensure the cabinet is level using the adjustable legs. Make sure there are no obstructions in the door's path.
Cabinet is wobbly or unstable
Adjust the 150mm legs to ensure all points are firmly on the floor. Tighten any cam locks if they feel loose.
Difficulty assembling cam locks
Ensure the dowels are fully inserted into their respective holes before attempting to lock the cam. Do not overtighten cams, as this can strip the mechanism.
Hinges not aligned
Loosen the hinge screws slightly, adjust the door to the correct position, and then retighten the screws. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions for fine-tuning if available.
