FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the cabinet?
The dimensions vary based on the width chosen (300mm, 500mm, or 600mm). Please refer to the product specifications for exact height and depth, which are consistent across widths.
Do I need to purchase handles separately?
Yes, door handles, plinths, and other decorative accessories are sold separately and are not included with the cabinet.
How long does assembly typically take?
Thanks to the cam and dowel quick-build system, assembly is very fast, often taking less than an hour for most users.
Can I attach the doors to either the left or right side?
Yes, the doors are reversible and can be hinged on either the left or right side to suit your specific kitchen layout.
What is the purpose of the 49mm rear service void?
The rear service void is designed to discreetly conceal pipes, cables, and wiring, contributing to a tidier kitchen appearance.
Are the soft-close hinges included?
Yes, the cabinet comes equipped with fully integrated soft-close hinges to prevent doors from slamming.
Can this cabinet be used in a damp environment like a utility room?
While the cabinet is durable, it is primarily designed for kitchen use. Prolonged exposure to high moisture levels may affect the material. Ensure it is kept dry.
Troubleshooting
Cabinet doors do not close properly
Ensure the cabinet is level using the adjustable legs. Check that the soft-close hinges are correctly installed and aligned. Verify that no items inside are obstructing the door closure.
Cam locks will not tighten
Make sure the dowels are fully seated in their corresponding holes. Ensure the cam lock is correctly oriented before attempting to tighten it. Check for any debris preventing a flush fit.
Cabinet is wobbly or unstable
Adjust the 150mm legs to achieve a stable, level position on the floor. Ensure the cabinet is securely fixed to the wall using appropriate fixings.
Hinge squeaks or binds
Lubricate the hinge mechanism with a small amount of silicone spray or graphite powder. Ensure the hinge is not misaligned.
