Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
Mont Albert property context
Mont Albert sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For flatpack cabinet assembly, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Mont Albert sits near Surrey Hills, Mont Albert North, Box Hill and Balwyn. 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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
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.
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.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
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.

Confirm the Mont Albert 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.
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.
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.
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.
The agreed service covers panel assembly, runners, hinges, alignment and suitable restraint review. Exclusions: Fitted kitchen installation, service connections, bespoke cabinets, wardrobe/desk duplication.
FAQ

Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
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.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access.
