Arc cabinet installation steps
Arc cabinets are difficult to install, so you need to prepare well before installation and pay attention to installation details. The following are some general installation steps. Remember to adjust them according to the site conditions during construction.
1. Tools and materials preparation
◆Essential tools: electric drill, screwdriver, level, tape measure, pencil, rubber hammer. If glass or metal parts are involved, special protective pads are also required.
◆Material inspection: Carefully check the side panels, back panels, partitions, hardware and other components to confirm that there are no scratches or deformations and that all accessories are complete.
2. Accurate measurement and positioning
◆Use a tape measure and level to measure the wall surface and ensure the flatness error is ≤3mm.
◆Mark the cabinet position and fixing points with a pencil according to the design drawings, and use a laser marker to assist if necessary.
3. Cabinet assembly
◆Fix the side panels, back panels, and partitions with screws or connectors according to the instructions to ensure that the structure is stable and not loose.
◆For special arc parts, attention should be paid to the splicing angle, which can be adjusted during trial assembly in advance.
4. Backboard reinforcement
◆After placing the back panel close to the cabinet body, fix it with screws or nails to enhance the overall stability.
◆Pay attention to aligning the back panel with the edge of the cabinet to avoid misalignment.
5. Cabinet fixing
◆Drill holes at the marked points and use expansion screws to fix the cabinet to the wall.
◆Repeatedly check the cabinet's horizontality and verticality to ensure the error is less than 2mm.
6. Cabinet door/drawer installation
◆Install the hinges or slides and adjust them until they open and close smoothly and the gap is even (about 2-3mm).
◆Test the opening and closing feel and fine-tune the position of hardware if necessary.
7. Detail adjustments
◆Recalibrate the cabinet horizontally and vertically and check whether the connections between components are firm.
◆Clean away excess glue marks and wood chips to keep the installation surface clean.
