Expert Council. Very often in the manufacture of closets with their own hands, doors are made to order. The rollers are already mounted on them, as well as a strip of soft material. Install the door at the end of all work.
Putting the frame
Stages of self-assembly standard wardrobe
How to assemble a wardrobe. You must first install the base.
The basis of the wardrobe
Typically, such a plate is attached to the stands, which are located along the long side, with the help of confirmats (these are euroscales, which have a recess in the cap for a special hex key).
Special drill for confirmatics, confirmatories with plugs and hexagonal key for confirmats
Next you need to arrange the internal partitions. On their bottom face there are holes where it is necessary to mount shkanty before installation. What is shkant? This is a small part of the rod of circular cross section, which serves to secure the wood connections.
Wooden dowel for furniture assembly
In the bottom plate there are non-through openings, they are provided for such shkanty. Having connected shkanty and apertures, we make installation of vertical partitions in the right place (here not to do without the assistant). To make the construction sustainable, we fix the shelves, which in this case serve as stiffeners. We fix them with confirmats. Fasteners in this step must be tightened completely.
Wall fastening with euro screws
We make the final assembly of the frame - we install the sidewalls and the top cover. All these elements must be installed immediately. Let's say right away, this stage of work is affected by the design features and the location of the fasteners on them.
Installation of the side and inner walls of the cabinet
At first we fix it with the base of the sidewall, fastening them to the lower confirmatics. Then we put the top part and, having combined all the holes, fasten with fasteners. Here it is necessary to provide a free course, due to the fact that it is necessary to level the whole base.
The base connects to the hull using corners confirmats
Align the structure
Checking the cabinet diagonals for self-assembly
To perform the alignment, you must perform the following steps. Using a roulette, we measure at first one diagonal, then the other, and from the difference in values we determine where to move the upper part of the cabinet so that its corners are completely straight. Having made alignment in a similar way, we completely twist confirmatics.
We nail the chipboard sheets
Fastening the rear wall of the wardrobe
The next step of the assembly is nailing the hardboard to the back side of the structure. These sheets will not only form the back wall, but will also securely hold the structure, preventing its loosening during the entire time of use. Usually, the paintings on the right side have a decorative treatment; it looks like a laminated colored surface. Sheets are fixed with the help of small nails, they are hammered into the ends of each piece of furniture.
Here, in principle, it is necessary to determine the place where the nails should be hammered, because on the back side, the furniture elements are not visible, and the defects that result from the wrong choice negatively affect the appearance of the cabinet.
Place the rails - guides
Installing a positioner or stopper in the lower guide of the wardrobe
We proceed to the important point - the mounting of rails for doors. The bottom rail has two grooves for sliding the rollers. The top is divided into two sections. In both, you first need to drill the holes, so that using screws to fix them to the base and top, there must be a chamfer at the holes.
Drilling the top rail for the doors of the closet
Four holes on each plate is enough. First, fix the bottom rail, making the markup in the right places. The interval from the edge of the base to the front edge should be 2.5 cm.
Installing the top rail when assembling the wardrobe
To make the doors move freely, the cabinet should be installed horizontally, using a level for this. It is desirable that he was longer. The top rail is fixed like the bottom rail only with the difference that the holes are drilled in a staggered pattern in all branches. Attach them to the screws. From the front end of the upper part to the beginning of the rail base, the interval should be 2 mm.
The lower guide profile is set indented 15 mm from the edge of the chipboard
We install bars and accessories
Installation of a bar in a sliding wardrobe
In conclusion, you must install the rod for the location of outerwear. At first, it is necessary to make a markup where the first holder will be fixed (3 screws are necessary for it), we drill and tighten the screws. Then we install the second holder on the rod and press it with a screw. At first it is necessary to try on the resulting structure, if necessary, align it horizontally, and then mark and fix it as the first one.

Door Layout (Top View)
After all the work done, you can install the door. But first, you need to check the gutter in the bottom plate for the presence of debris - it will prevent the free movement of rollers. Again we check the horizontal position of the planes, and also that all the connections are well fixed.
