Naturally, it precedes assembly works Laying of all communication lines: sewage, water supply and wiring. After that, in the locations of communications in kitchen furniture, the openings of the appropriate size are made.
Next, go to the assembly headset:
- With the help of screws, the construction of cross-shaped mounts for doors to the side surface of the walls of the kitchen is made. In most cases, the screws are already made by the manufacturer.
- Rails intended for drawn furniture elements are attached to the inner side walls.
- There is an insert of wooden chops (waders) into all the holes for non-mediocre type. You can use glue. In fact, the wanking connects two holes of adjacent elements. Thanks to the waders, the maximum smooth frame is assembled, and the strength properties of furniture are improved.
- Screwing the furniture screw in the wanking. For this, the hexagon is used. Screw is closed with a plastic plug, which is identical to the head of the head.
- Adjustable legs are screwed. Furniture height is adjusted. Sometimes instead of the legs with adjustment, ordinary plastic nozzles are sold, which are called the spyers. They are screwed at the bottom of the headset.
- The side wall of one tube is covered with sheet material. Usually, the manufacturer is used for its manufacture.
- Hinged cabinets are equipped with adjustable canopies. Their mount is performed in the upper corner of the side walls.
Similarly, the side walls of drawers are assembled. After assembling 3 walls in the bottom of the box inserted out the fiberboard and the front side of the drawer is strengthened:
- in the facade of the box, screwed up screw;
- screed-eccentric is inserted into the opening of the side wall;
- the sleeve is placed in a large round hole (nest) and turns;
- the sleeve should grab the screw of the screw, which is a bit side;
- combining roller guides at the bottom of the box;

During the installation of the lower row, all cabinets are associated with each other. To do this, use self-strains of 3 cm long or intersective furniture screed. It is clear that it is better to use a screed. Self-tapping screws have too small hats, which can take out under load.
Installation of table top and sinks in the kitchen
It should be noted that wood or MDFs are used for the manufacture of tabletops. Moreover, products have certain standard dimensions. For this reason, the installation with their own hand-drawn countertops in the kitchen provides for cutting or cutting it (in the case of mounting washing in the worktop).
This stage includes performing such actions:
- after aligning the lower legs, the countertop is stacked on them;
- between the worktop and the wall should be a gap at the level of 5 mm;
- measurets are performed with a mark of places where it will be necessary to cut it;
- the sink is applied to the bottom side of the structure (it should be located so that the door of the floor cabinet closes without problems);
- using a pencil is applied to the surface of the tabletop of the sink circuit (it will be a cut line);
- according to the drawn line, there are several cross-cutting holes;
- in one of the holes, the canvas is inserted by an electrolybiz and the hole under the sink is healed;
- cropped part is processed with a file (so large irregularities are cleaned);
- the table top is finally laid on the cabinets and is fixed using fasteners;
- the size of the gaps between the worktop and the wall is necessarily observed, as well as with contacting elements of furniture;

Creating a carcass suggests:
- accurate calculation of the required number of regions;
- their cutting;
- impregnation of rails by antiseptic;
- mounting frame around the perimeter Apron;
- fastening the rest of the rivers;
- check the correctness of the placement of rails in the vertical plane by pulling the fishing line from opposite angles.
The sheath of the crates start with the angle. To attach the panel, use the inner corner of plastic and perforated angular profile. Panel assembly is carried out from below.
The first panel is placed in the groove of the angle and using the bracket is fixed to the slats. Next, the following panels are attached - in the grooves of previous and rake.
