Description

In the hall, between the meter cupboard and toilet, a built-in cupboard instead of the coat rack and shoe bench. (now a flat coat rack opposite). This allows us to store many more shoes, bags, scarves and mittens! :-)

Custom built-in cupboard

It will be a cupboard between two existing walls, from floor to ceiling 1: Measure how big your cupboard can be LxWxH. Measure the skirting board for the neat passage of lines. My skirting board is 7cm, which I use at the top and bottom. 2: Determine number of shelves; order size 5mm smaller than the hole. 3: Determine the number of doors and height in combination with shelf height. With 2 doors I take (cabinet width -16mm) / 2. Two 5mm clearance on the outside of the door. and 6mm gap between the doors. 4: Determine the length of required shelf supports (w: 5.0cm) and door hinge supports (w: 7.0cm) (NB: with narrow pieces like this, you cut them yourself at home, a piece of 25.0cm is the same 165,0cm! And I limited myself to 165,0cm because of the shipping costs!) 5: Order wood! Order 2 hinges per door (longer doors 3 or 4), and tools, screws, sealant, paint, etc. 6: Start building with the bottom and top plinth. In between, cut the 7cm door hinge supports to length. (This instead of a real cupboard wall, since there is already a wall!) Preferably perpendicular one above the other, a string with a weight or spirit level will help you here! 7: Saw the corner where the hinge supports are from the boards, saw the shelf supports to length. 8: Using the drilling template and appropriate drills (5mm, 35mm), make the hinge holes for the bottom door; this at the same height as the hinge support. Align the top door with a 6mm gap. Use something 6mm thick for this, for example a dowel (I used curtain rings from ikea in the photo) 9: The hinge supports can now be attached to the wall, then the shelf supports and the shelves. NB: Make sure that the hinges and shelves do not overlap !!! 10: Now it is ready for finishing to taste. Edge sealer on the edges. Kitten, paints etc, holes for the doorknobs 11: Everything in color and dry? Then the hinges can be in place and you can hang the doors !! (use 4x16mm screws for door hinge!)
