FAQs

How long does assembly typically take?

With the 'glue and click' system, cabinets can be assembled in as little as 30 seconds. Actual assembly time may vary slightly depending on your familiarity with the process and the specific tools used for adhesive application.

Are the doors pre-drilled for handles?

No, this is a handleless J-Pull design. If you wish to add separate handles, you would need to drill the doors yourself. However, the design is optimized for the integrated J-Pull opening.

What type of adhesive should I use?

The product is designed to work with a specific type of adhesive that creates the 'glue and click' bond. Please refer to the product manual or packaging for the recommended adhesive type. Typically, a strong wood glue or a specific flatpack assembly adhesive is suitable.

Can I change the direction the drawers open?

This unit is a base cabinet with drawers. The drawers themselves do not 'open' in a hinged direction; they slide out. The unit itself is a floor-standing cabinet.

What is the warranty on this product?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information. Kitchen Kit products often come with a manufacturer's warranty, and FIRA Gold certification indicates a high standard of build quality.

Are wall mounting brackets included?

Wall mounting brackets are typically included with wall units, not base units. This is a base cabinet designed to sit on adjustable legs.

What is the thickness of the cabinet material?

The cabinet is constructed from 18mm thick material with an 8mm back panel, providing a sturdy and durable structure.

Troubleshooting

Cabinet panels do not click together securely.

Ensure you are using the correct adhesive and applying it evenly to all connection points. Check for any debris or obstructions preventing a clean fit. Ensure panels are aligned correctly before applying pressure.

Drawers are sticking or not closing smoothly.

Verify that the drawers are installed correctly within their runners. Check for any obstructions inside the drawer runners or on the drawer itself. Ensure the cabinet is perfectly level using the adjustable legs.

Unit is unstable or wobbly.

Adjust the legs to ensure they are firmly on the floor and properly tightened. Check that the cabinet is on a level surface; if not, adjust the legs accordingly.

Service void is too small for pipes/wiring.

The 49mm void is designed for standard pipework and wiring. For larger installations, consider alternative routing methods or ensure components used are sufficiently compact. Plan your routing carefully before final assembly.

Care:
