Send photographs and access details so the materials, preparation and next step can be discussed.
Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
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.
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.
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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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 Portsea 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.
Portsea property context
Portsea 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. For a Portsea quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Planning 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.
Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
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.
FAQ
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Use the quote form with the property address and a short list of requirements. Identify the quantities and any deadline so Fix Nik can review the scope and clarify the next practical step.
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Keep the immediate work area accessible and remove ordinary belongings where safe. Discuss heavy furniture, fragile items and access restrictions before the appointment so the required preparation is clear.
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.
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.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Share the exact product or part specification before purchasing. Appearance alone does not establish compatibility, and missing or damaged supplied components may change the work or require a later visit.
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Include a wide view as well as close details, keeping product labels readable. Do not dismantle a difficult or unsafe item just to take photographs; explain the access limitation instead.
