  Homemade closet in the hallway

Most responsibly need to approach the removal of sizes. Assuming miscalculation, all subsequent work will be difficult or nothing at all. There are various ready-made options with suitable sizes.If the finished drawings are not suitable, and drawing skills are weak, you need to involve a specialist for this stage, who will design the project with the required dimensions. Cut the materials and make the edging of the end parts better in a store that sells construction material. The services of the store are inexpensive, but the time for this is significant.

Assembling the wardrobe

This model belongs to the built-in, it is easier to produce, since the parts do not need to be calculated and cut out. The complexity of this option is that it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the walls and floors.

An ideal solution for such furniture would be a niche with a sliding system, equipped with several shelves, a crossbar for hangers. The installation of the casements in this case is the same as that of interior doors (wall and floor are involved).

Very often, a wardrobe is made in the corner of the room. This model does not have one side and rear wall (and in some cases there is no floor and ceiling).

The base consists of a wooden frame, which consists of a pair of frames (front and side), assembled on screws or nails. If the project provides for the arrangement of shelves and partitions, in the designated places on the frame you need to fix the cross rails.

Instruction

To mark the walls, floor, ceiling in places where the frame will be installed, drill out holes for fasteners. It is recommended to mark the place of the clip.

Making a layout under the shelves, set the corners

Fasten the front frame to the wall and ceiling with dowels. Check its verticality by applying a level.

We put and fasten the shelves to the corners, install the vertical panel to the shelves inside the cabinet

Install side frame.

In the resulting niche on the walls fix the slats made of wood, intended for shelves (cut the shelves from plywood or chipboard). You can not fix the shelves, putting them on the slats or fix with nails.

On top of our design level horizontal shelf is laid

The side is sheathed with drywall or laminated chipboard. Drywall paste over or paint. The side part in which there will be a crossbeam with shoulders should be strong (chipboard, plywood, but not drywall).

Preparing panels for the front of the cabinet

Fix the bottom and top panels

The final stage is the installation of sliding doors. The upper and lower guides are mounted respectively on the ceiling and on the floor.

Install guides for doors

It is very important to observe the exact dimensions. First try to install the layout of the future door. Take any part, the height of which is the same as that of the door, and set inside the upper tire. Check the value of verticality and mark the area where the lower guide will be mounted. The door must first be inserted, slightly pressing on the upper rollers, and then into the lower tire. To adjust the position of the door leaf adjusting screws are used. Properly installed door moves smoothly, unhindered.

We insert the doors into the guides, snap the latches and adjust the mechanisms in the roller systems

The above example is suitable for a simple construction of small dimensions, consisting of two halves. With a good hallway area, there is the possibility of making a more roomy model. Then the frame of the bars will not work. It is better to make the basis of chipboard, and its elements "fasten" with the help of a common floor and ceiling. This method will allow to place in a niche except shelves and a bar for hangers also drawers for small things and other details.

Such a product will be assembled as a designer on dowels and confirmatics. For this hardware, you must first drill holes. All this needs to be done especially carefully and patiently. All fixtures for the corners of the day are kept in the clamp.
