Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
Service overview
Use the supports and permitted positions supplied for the cabinet. Include additional shelves in the product list before the quote. A shelf that looks similar may have different dimensions or a different supported load, so compatibility needs to be established.
Door clearances are checked after the cabinet body is assembled and positioned. The supplied hinge adjustments have limits. If the frame is twisted or a panel has been fitted incorrectly, adjusting the hinge alone will not resolve the underlying problem.
Back panels and fixed shelves can establish the cabinet shape before doors are attached. Following the specified order helps keep the body square. Installing visible fittings too early can make later steps inaccessible or conceal a misassembled joint.
The agreed service covers panel assembly, runners, hinges, alignment and suitable restraint review. Exclusions: Fitted kitchen installation, service connections, bespoke cabinets, wardrobe/desk duplication.
Common situations
Chipped edges, split fixing holes or a bent runner should be photographed with the part label visible. Keep the packaging and contact the supplier about replacements. A damaged structural panel should not be disguised with a cosmetic patch to finish assembly.
Tall or drawer-heavy storage may have restraint requirements even when marketed as freestanding. Review the instructions and intended wall before assembly. Suitable fixing, permission and safe access must be established; the finished unit should not conceal an unresolved stability issue.
A boxed freestanding storage cabinet is different from fitting a kitchen. Describe how the unit will be used and positioned. Plumbing connections, worktop cutting, fitted kitchen installation and bespoke cabinet manufacture are outside this small furniture assembly service.
Kensington property context
Planning flatpack cabinet assembly in Kensington starts with the actual item and its setting. Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. Kensington sits near North Melbourne, Travancore, Flemington and Parkville. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
How it works
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint.
Confirm the Kensington address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete.
Planning the work
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
FAQ
Compact drawer units can include several runner and front adjustments. Provide the exact configuration and number of drawers. This assembly scope concerns new supplied components; a damaged existing drawer mechanism should be described as a separate repair request.
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Mention stairs, restricted entry, furniture obstructions and the person arranging access. Any unusual handling or equipment requirement should be reviewed before a date is agreed rather than assumed from the suburb.

Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. Arrange the required owner or manager permission and identify the access contact. Include restrictions affecting drilling, finishes or room use where relevant; the property address alone does not establish authority to carry out work.

Describe where the cartons are stored and the final room. Working space is needed to protect finished panels while parts are organised. Moving other furniture, stairs and heavy items should be discussed beforehand rather than assumed to be included.
Door clearances are checked after the cabinet body is assembled and positioned. The supplied hinge adjustments have limits. If the frame is twisted or a panel has been fitted incorrectly, adjusting the hinge alone will not resolve the underlying problem.
