How to assemble a corner kitchen cabinet. Features of the assembly and installation of the corner kitchen. Kitchen assembly process

After a kitchen renovation, you will surely decide to update your old one. kitchen set. As a rule, most stores selling kitchens provide an assembly service, and many are not yet manufacturers of this kitchen, but simply order it from the factory and are intermediaries. In any case, we overpay, although the assembly and self-design of the kitchen is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. In this article, I will tell you how to independently make a design with exact dimensions, non-standard elements, and how to assemble a kitchen into a single composition.

Finished kitchen assembly process

All elements of the kitchen set are in fact wooden boxes different sizes and shapes, and in order to collect them all, it will be enough to learn how to assemble one and all the rest will be assembled using the same technology. If you have not dealt with assembling furniture before, then before assembling the kitchen, be sure to study the standard instructions. It schematically shows which parts are used for what, and also indicates the order of work.

Standard assembly scheme kitchen table

If you screw the part in the wrong place, you will have to disassemble it, and this will reduce the strength of the connection. This is especially true for cheap chipboard cabinets.

Stages of assembling a kitchen table (cabinet) or cabinet:

  • A cross-shaped mount for doors is attached to the side walls. They are screwed with two self-tapping screws, into pre-prepared holes;
  • The rails for drawer cabinets are also attached to the already prepared holes, if you do not screw it right away, then it will be inconvenient to do it later;
  • Then, wooden chopsticks are inserted into all non-through holes (they are also called dowels or wooden dowels). Chopics help to assemble an even frame and significantly increase the strength of the entire structure.
  • After making sure that the table is level, a furniture screw is screwed in with a hexagon, it will pull the two parts together. A cap is put on top to match the color of the furniture.
  • If legs are provided, screw them into place and set the desired height.
  • After assembling the cabinet, a sheet of fiberboard is nailed to the side wall, usually this is done with small carnations that come with the kit.
  • On wall cabinets, you need to fix the fittings for mounting on the wall. For this, adjustable awnings are used. They are attached inside to the side walls of the cabinet close to the top corners.

Assembly of drawers

  • First, we assemble a frame of three panels according to the same principle as the cabinets themselves. We insert the chopsticks into the holes, press the boards against each other, and then tighten them together with screws.
  • Next, you need to insert a sheet of fiberboard into the grooves, which will serve as the bottom of the box.
  • Now you can fix the facade with special ties. The screws for them are screwed into the front panel, and their opposite ends are inserted into the holes of the side boards. They are fixed with the help of round eccentric bushings, which should be inserted into the seats prepared by the manufacturer and rotated, securely fastening the parts of the box to each other.
  • We fasten guides with rollers to the bottom of the drawers, which must be located at the back.
  • We insert the drawers into the cabinet rails at an angle and check if they move easily.

Kitchen installation sequence

After assembling all the tables, drawers and wall cabinets, you need to put it all in place

  • First of all, a side cabinet is installed, most often it is a sink. All pipes will come to the side cabinet, make holes for pipes in the wall in advance;
  • Installing floor cabinets. Cabinets immediately need to be adjusted in height and, if necessary, cuts are made in them.
  • After installing all the cabinets, you can link them together. For this, 30 mm self-tapping screws or inter-sectional furniture screed are used. A coupler is a more reliable option, it will be enough for 3-4 couplers for floor cabinets and 2 pieces for wall cabinets.

Tabletop fixing

  • Mark the table top by adding 1 mm from the edges, or mount it close to the wall. If there is a gap near the wall, then you will then hide it with a plinth.
  • Using a fine-toothed jigsaw, cut the table top to size.
  • In the corner kitchen, the worktops are joined using a special metal bar that closes the gap between the two tables. It is screwed to the end of the tabletop.
  • Be sure to close the ends of the plate with a final metal bar. In places where there is no effect of heat, you can use a furniture edge for this. It is glued with a hair dryer on a flat and clean cut surface.
  • When fixing the tabletop, set it with an allowance in front of about 3 cm so that the edges are even. Fastening takes place from below with self-tapping screws.

sink mount

To install the sink, we need to make a hole in the countertop, usually the sink comes with a sheet for marking the desired hole.

  • We make markings for the future sink and, according to the markings, we saw off the countertop with a jigsaw;
  • We fasten the sink to the special fasteners that come with the kit;
  • The joint along the edge must be treated with sealant or sanitary silicone;

You definitely need an assistant who can support the countertop while cutting, otherwise the piece will fall off and tear off part of the coating.

Fixing wall cabinets

For this, the height of the kitchen furniture is first determined - as already mentioned, it depends on the dimensions of the drawers and the level of the ceilings. The standard height between the table top and the bottom of the top drawer is 50-60 mm.

Advice! If the growth of the hostess of the kitchen is low or the upper cabinets of the headset open with closers upwards, then it is better to install the upper shelves 45 cm from the level of the countertop (but not less).

There are two ways to hang kitchen drawers with your own hands:

  1. A mounting rail is used - one part of it is attached to the wall cabinet, and the second to the wall. This results in a hook-and-groove system that is easy to use and provides a secure fit. One person can hang a cabinet with such fasteners.
  2. Upper cabinets can be placed on the wall and, by means of standard fastening, on furniture hinges. They are hung so that there are no gaps between the back wall and the wall. To hang the cabinet on the hinges, it is worth working together, because for one the structure will be too heavy. Since modern mounting strips are quite expensive, budget hinges are used in traditional furniture sets.

Mounting rail or rail

Fastening sequence:

  • Step back from the countertop and make a mark on the walls. Step back from it to the height of the cabinets, and draw a line for their fastening;
  • Drill holes and secure the tire. On it you hang adjustable suspensions. Fastening to the wall with anchors is more reliable than with dowel-nails;
  • Hang the cabinet on the rail by hooking it to the hooks. In order for the cabinet to hang evenly and close to the wall, adjust the 2 bolts on the hangers by tightening or loosening;
  • Start installation from a corner. If the wall is uneven or has an angle of less than 90 degrees, then you will need to fix the bezel to hide the gap;
  • After installation, if necessary, fasten the cabinets with ties;

Door fixing

And now, the assembly of the kitchen set is almost completed. It remains to hang the doors:

  • Now you can hang the doors on the cabinets. To do this, fix the hinges with self-tapping screws into the round recesses on the facade.
  • Put the door on the cross plates that you screwed in at the very beginning and tighten the bolts.
  • Then close the door and check its position. Adjust it horizontally and vertically with two bolts on the mechanism

Skirting board installation

We close the gap between the table and the wall using the installation plastic plinth. Its first part is fastened with screws to the wall, and a decorative nozzle is snapped on top. To decorate the corners, special plugs are used. Usually hidden wiring can be placed inside the baseboard.

Well, now you have learned how to assemble a ready-made kitchen set as a designer, it is not so difficult and it does not take much time. The most important thing is not to rush and think through every action in advance. The result of your work will be no worse than the fruits of the work of a team of professionals!

The question of self-manufacturing a kitchen set often arises after repairs have been carried out in this room. It often happens that a kit that seems to be suitable in terms of cost and design does not fit into the actual dimensions of the kitchen. There are a lot of proposals for the manufacture of headsets to order in our time, but the cost is very considerable. After evaluating the prices of furniture, as well as their financial capabilities, some owners come to the conclusion that they can save a decent amount if they build a kitchen (hereinafter, we mean its furniture content) on their own.

If you have at least minimal experience in working with carpentry tools, in processing wood-based materials, then mounting the desired structure yourself according to a personal project drawn up is a completely realistic task. with your own hands it can be assembled from finished parts made by the workshop according to a specific drawing, or made from scratch from natural wood and furniture panels of various types.

Why is it better to make your own kitchen?

The objective reasons to independently make a kitchen according to your own sketches and drawings are as follows:

  • It is possible to create furniture cabinets and shelves that are ideal for a particular room in terms of its parameters and configuration. In addition, by creating a kitchen sketch, you can immediately determine the convenient location of all kitchen accessories, the number and shape of furniture.

  • Considerable cost savings are achieved, since the finished headset will cost significantly more, although it can be made from the same material that you can choose yourself. Everything is understandable - in addition to the material, you have to pay for the work of craftsmen, transportation costs, whole list any other taxes and deductions known only to accountants. All this is included in one way or another in the selling price of the kit.
  • The exclusivity of the design of the furniture set is ensured.
  • It would probably not be an exaggeration to say that for most real owners (we will not take into account pathological lazy people), such independent furniture making becomes a very exciting activity, an opportunity to show their skills and creativity. Well, the finished kitchen environment, made by hand, is an indispensable source of pride.

As you can see, the reasons for making a kitchen set with your own hands are quite enough. Well, their totality should generally dispel all doubts. Naturally, if the owner is not a perfect layman in these matters.

Creating a project for a future kitchen

The first step is a sketch

You should start creating a kitchen set with a project, which is best done in the form of a sketch, and then an exact drawing. The sketch will help to visualize how the kitchen will look like, and the drawing with the dimensions taken for it from the location of the headset will become a guide both when ordering material for further work, and for assembling parts into a single structure.


The sketch takes into account the features of the kitchen and the possibility of placing furniture in it. If a project is being developed for a standard kitchen high-rise building, then the most popular options are either a kitchen wall installed in one line.

Taking measurements and taking into account design features

In order to meet all the necessary requirements when creating a project, careful measurements of the kitchen installation area should be made. When conducting them, the following parameters of the room are taken into account:


  • The length and height of the walls along which it is planned to install a kitchen set.
  • Wall length from front door to the corner of the room.
  • The distance from the window opening to the wall.
  • When taking measurements, it is necessary to separately indicate at what distance from adjacent walls there are communications - sewer and water pipes, as well as a gas main.

Knowing these parameters, you can move on to determining the dimensions of furniture cabinets, which should both fit into the designated area and be comfortable to use.


Sketch Project Example corner kitchen with marked dimensions

The following parameters are standard for a kitchen set:

  • For floor cabinets:

- height - 850 mm;

– depth can vary from 500 to 600 mm;

- width - from 300 to 800 mm.

  • Wall cabinets may vary slightly in size, as their parameters depend on the height of the ceiling and the preferences of the kitchen owners:

- their standard height is 850 mm, but it can be increased to 900 mm if you plan to raise them to the ceiling, or reduced to 800 ÷ 700 mm;

- depth of cabinets - 300 mm;

- the width, as a rule, corresponds to the width of the floor cabinets planned under the wall cabinets - this way they look more beautiful in one "ensemble". Although this requirement is optional.

In addition, when drawing up a drawing, the following factors must be taken into account:

  • The location and size of the sink, as well as the fact that under it you will have to provide a separate cabinet or section of the countertop.
  • On both sides of the sink there should be cabinets (free areas of the countertop) with a width of at least 300 mm. Their surface will add comfort during the operation of the sink, and the cabinets themselves will serve to store kitchen utensils. In addition, one of the cabinets can be used for the installation of a washing machine or dishwasher.
  • The top of the headset must include at least two sections.
  • Above the hob, it is necessary to provide a place for.
  • When drawing up a plan, you should also immediately indicate the location of the refrigerator if it is installed in one of the lines of the headset.

Optimum distance between sink and stove
  • It is very important to observe the distance between the sink and the hob, since according to the standards it should be at least 450 ÷ 500 mm.

  • The distance between the hob and the hood should be 750 mm for a gas stove and 650 mm for an electric stove. This will ensure both a good removal of rising vapors and proper operation safety.

A sketch of the kitchen can be drawn by hand on a sheet in a cage, which will help to maintain the proportions of the actual dimensions of the headset placement area. A more "advanced" option is to use one of the 3D modeling computer programs, for example, "PRO 100". In the latter case, it will be possible to take into account every millimeter of the allotted area.


On the network you can find a lot of interesting applications that allow you to plan the placement of furniture and get ready-made drawings of each of the details.

If the sketch is drawn up manually, then it is additionally necessary to make furniture drawings. In these graphic documents, the exact dimensions of the structure are affixed, since all its components will be made according to them.


If drawing up a drawing seems to be an impossible task due to inexperience, then you can use one of the options presented on the Internet. Surely, if you wish, you can find options for both typical kitchens of the main series of high-rise buildings, and for non-standard kitchen premises.


When choosing a specific project, you must immediately take into account your ability to manufacture individual structural elements. For example, shelves that have curvilinear shapes, since this will require not only a special tool, but also sufficient skills to work with it.

Chipboard cutting map

Based on the drawn up drawing, it is necessary to draw up a chipboard cutting map. It will help determine the amount required material, will reflect the distribution on the sheets of all the blanks necessary for the headset.

To create this graphic document, you need to know the standard parameters of chipboard boards on which the details of the kitchen set will be projected.

Going on sale today chipboard with a polished and laminated surface, having different thicknesses and linear dimensions.

An example of a map for cutting a chipboard sheet to the dimensions of furniture blanks

Chipboard boards can have a standard thickness of 8,10,12,16, 18, 22, 25, 28, 32 and 38 mm. For the walls and shelves of the floor part of the headset, most often material is chosen with a thickness of 16 ÷ 20 mm, and for wall cabinets, chipboard of 16 mm is suitable. If desired, you can choose a greater thickness of the sheets.


Chipboard sheets of various thicknesses

The linear dimensions of sanded boards are usually 2440×1830 or 2750×1830 mm, and the laminated material - 2800×2070 and 2620×1830 mm. The parameters of the plates are designed for standard blanks for furniture, so you can choose options from them that will be cut with a minimum amount of waste.


An example of laminated chipboard worktops for a desktop

Worktop for the working area of ​​the kitchen is purchased separately. The choice of the consumer is provided different models according to the options for external design and thickness. The recommended thickness is 38 mm, especially in the area where it is planned to insert the hob or sink. However, judging by the reviews of both the craftsmen and the owners of the kitchens, even cheaper high-quality countertops with a thickness of 28 mm serve quite successfully for years without requiring any replacement.

But to make a decision (in a fit of unbridled savings) to make a countertop simply from an ordinary chipboard sheet, even if a large load is not planned on it, is unacceptable. Features of operation of this section require a special wear-resistant coating and a special configuration of the front edge, which does not allow the accumulation of moisture from drops flowing from the table. A well-made one is completely closed on all sides, and only the end sections remain unprotected, which should also receive the necessary processing, but already when assembling the furniture.

You can draw up a drawing of a slab cutting map yourself or use a computer program for this purpose. Many companies involved in the sale of furniture chipboard (MDF) provide a free service for compiling such maps, on the basis of which cutting is then carried out.

Both wall and floor cabinets can have separate or common walls, depending on how they are located in the headset.

The lower, floor-mounted part of the headset is most often used by common walls that divide the cabinets into departments. Thus, after fastening the blanks, this part becomes non-separable. However, if you plan to retain the ability to rearrange kitchen furniture, then each cabinet should be assembled separately. But in this case, of course, the cost of material for blanks will increase.

So, in the chipboard or MDF cutting map, according to the developed drawing and the dimensions of the structural parts, the following parts of the structure should be placed:

  • Side walls headset.
  • Dividing walls that delimit the common floor and hinged structure for individual cabinets.
  • Shelf preparations.
  • Back walls. They are best made from a lighter material - it can be fiberboard or thin 3-4 mm plywood.
  • front doors.

On the cutting map, it is best to put down, in addition to the dimensions of the parts, their numbering or names. So it will be easier to navigate when cutting plates and during assembly.


The tabletop is selected separately. Its length should correspond to the length of the floor part of the headset, since the hob and sink, as a rule, cut into its surface, and the washing machine and dishwasher are installed under it.

In addition to furniture blanks, you must purchase the following parts to assemble the structure:

  • An edge of the corresponding color chipboard, which is used to form the front ends of the walls and shelves of the headset before assembling it.
  • Fittings: hinges and handles.
  • Camouflage strip for the gap between two parts of the table top and end caps.
  • Drawers will require skids (sliding mechanisms).

  • Furniture metal fasteners and wooden dowels.
  • metal or plastic corners for fixing perpendicular parts.
  • Adjustable legs, with which it will be possible to set the floor part of the headset strictly horizontally.

If you plan to make doors that open in a special way, for example, by lifting up or folding, they will require special mechanisms - there is no shortage of such products in our time.

Now, knowing what parts and materials will be needed for the manufacture and assembly of a kitchen set, you can go to a specialized furniture materials store, where you can usually immediately order a cut of slabs according to the presented cutting map. If desired, and the presence of a special tool, cutting and processing edges can be done independently. But you also need to be able to do this, to have the appropriate quality tool. That is, it is better not to take risks and entrust this process to professionals working on high-precision equipment.

Carrying out installation and assembly operations

Tools for the job

To assemble the blanks into a single structure, you will need tools, some of them are in every house, others will have to be bought. But they will definitely come in handy later on for other repair or construction work.


So, from the tools you need to prepare:

  • An electric drill and a set of drill bits for wood, including those confirmed for furniture screws.
  • Bits of different sizes for a screwdriver, including hex.
  • Construction square.
  • Level.
  • Clamps, at least 4 pieces.
  • Pliers and hammer.
  • Scissors.
  • Syringe gun for applying liquid nails and sealant.
  • Iron for gluing the edge.

Assembling a kitchen set

The most difficult thing is to start the assembly process, because the craftsmen who do not have experience in this work do not know where to start. When the first steps are done, then the process will go faster. In fact, the blanks are a kind of "constructor", from which it is necessary to assemble the kitchen.

IllustrationBrief description of the operations performed
The first thing to be done is to understand the blanks, breaking them down by size, guided by the project drawing, which also contains all the parameters of the headset.
After the parts are distributed into piles, it is recommended to sign them, indicating their belonging - walls, shelves, etc.
Such preparatory measures will greatly simplify the work.
After cutting, the ends of the panels facing the facade, as well as intended for cabinet doors, must be pasted over with a special edge tape that has a color that is in harmony with the main shade of the headset.
The tape is fixed with a heated iron.
When the tape is heated, it should protrude slightly beyond the edges of the panel. After the material has cooled, this excess must be immediately carefully cut off with a sharp knife. For this purpose, a regular clerical knife with a new blade is suitable.
The process begins with the assembly of the floor part of the headset. Therefore, it is necessary to take the lower panels of the structure, and immediately fix adjustable legs on them, if they are provided for by the project.
To do this, the panels are marked with the installation sites of such supports. Then the legs are applied to the marked points, and points are marked on the panel with a pencil through the holes provided for fasteners.
Further, non-through holes for fasteners are drilled along the marks. It is best to put the legs on the glue first, and then additionally fasten them with self-tapping screws. The fastening of the legs can occur in different ways - this one depends on the selected model of the part.
The legs should be attached to all bottom panels.
The next step is to assemble the walls of one of the cabinets.
To make them stand at right angles to each other, you can use perforated corners made of metal 2 mm thick, so the connection must have a certain rigidity. Of course, it is recommended to check these corners beforehand - how perpendicular their shelves are.
You can come up with another "conductor" that will help you set the two mating panels exactly at right angles.
The corners are fixed at the top and bottom at the junction of the panels with the help of clamps.
Then, the fastened walls must be twisted with screws, for which holes-nests are drilled using a comfortable drill.
The drill is designed to form a hole, which has different diameters at different levels, which are necessary for this euro screw. Due to this socket configuration, the screw will tightly hold the two panels, and its head will enter the chipboard flush with the wall surface.
You can, of course, use conventional drills, but you have to constantly rearrange them, and the work will go much more slowly. And a special drill is not so expensive, especially since it will have plenty of work when assembling the headset.
The panels must be fastened at three points by drilling nests with an indent from the upper and lower edges of 50 mm, as well as in the middle of the joined blanks.
To accurately mark the location of the hole, 8 mm should be retreated from the side edge, with a chipboard thickness of 16 mm and 9 mm, with a panel thickness of 18 mm.
To screw in a furniture screw, a hexagonal bit nozzle is installed in the screwdriver.
All chipboard panels are fastened together in the same way.
To make it clearer, the illustration shows the principle of connecting two perpendicular parts with confirmations.
The bottom panel of the cabinet is also first fixed to the side walls with clamps, and then twisted with furniture screws.
Another way of mutual fixation of panels can be wooden chopsticks - dowels with a diameter of 8 mm.
They are installed in slots drilled at the end of one and along the edge of the other panel. Dowels are carefully hammered into these holes, previously smeared with glue.
This mounting method is more complex and requires perfectly accurate marking of the holes to be drilled.
In order for the marking to be accurate, after gluing the dowels into the lower end of the wall, it is laid with a shift on the bottom panel, leveled and tightened with clamps.
After that, on the bottom panel, focusing on the already installed dowels, mark the points at which holes are drilled, with a diameter and depth corresponding to the size of the fasteners.
Then, the holes are filled with glue and the side wall of the cabinet is docked. In order for the panels to be assembled exactly at a right angle, metal corners should be fixed on them, just as in the first version, using clamps. You can remove them after the glue has dried.
After the walls are fastened to the bottom panel, it is nailed with small nails, stapler staples, or a back panel made of fiberboard or thin plywood is screwed onto small self-tapping screws.
In the upper part, the side walls are connected to each other by two narrow boards, which will give rigidity to the design of the pedestal and will be the basis for fixing the tabletop.
They are installed on the inside of the walls and are also screwed with furniture confirmatory screws. They will need 2 pieces for each of the fixed sides.
If a pedestal for drawers is assembled, then before attaching the walls to the bottom panel, their inner surfaces are marked out, and drawers are installed on them according to the markings (they may have a different design).
It is clear that the installation of these guides on opposite walls must be strictly symmetrical.
Of course, this process can be carried out in an already assembled cabinet, but this is inconvenient and rather difficult to do - both dark and cramped.
If it is planned to fix front doors on the cabinet, then for the installation of hinges it is necessary to mark and equip the landing nests for them in advance.
To drill the mounting holes, a special cutter of the desired diameter is used.
When marking, it is necessary to observe the distance from the edge of the panel to the edge of the seat - it should be 5 mm.
To ensure that the hinges are installed evenly and the doors are not skewed, the wall and the door are laid on a flat surface, and the markings for arranging the mounting slots and mounting holes are made on them at the same time.
A socket of the required diameter is drilled on the side wall, the corresponding part of the loop is installed in it. Then, focusing on it, the attachment points of the reciprocal mounting pad on the door are marked.
Holes for self-tapping screws are drilled along the markings.
After that, the hinges are screwed on and their operation is checked. Further, they can be temporarily dismantled, and permanently installed after the cabinet is assembled.
This photo shows the installation of the assembled cabinets in the overall design.
In this case, each of the floor cabinets has its own walls, but it is possible that the walls act as partitions in the overall structure.
However, it must be borne in mind that in the latter case, a higher load will fall on the partitions, so many shelves and drawers are not recommended.
The assembled structure is leveled, if necessary, adjusting the height of the support legs.
Further, front doors can be finally fixed on the walls of cabinets (cabinets).
It will not be difficult to install them, since the necessary holes have already been prepared for their fastening.
The door handles are screwed on.
The next step is to install a worktop on evenly exposed and fastened together cabinets.
It can be solid or have different connecting joints - even or diagonal, depending on the layout of the kitchen set.
Having prepared and adjusted the parts of the countertop, mark out the areas where the sink and hob will be embedded.
The edges of the sink, depending on its model, can be installed on top of the countertop or flush with it. The illustration shows the mortise option. kitchen sink.
Marking the window for it is best done according to the pattern, which manufacturers often include with the sink. If there is no cutting pattern, then you should do it yourself: put the bowl on a sheet of cardboard and trace its outline with a pencil.
The opening for the kitchen sink is cut using an electric jigsaw.
First, a through hole is drilled on the marking line in the tabletop - it is necessary for inserting a jigsaw file.
From the outer marking line, some craftsmen prefer to fix the masking tape, which will prevent the edges from chipping and will be a good guide when working.
In the same way, a hole is marked and cut out under hob.
An important nuance. In a cut-out opening for a sink or hob, the end walls are completely defenseless against moisture penetration. And water that has seeped into the chipboard and penetrated into its structure can cause it to swell and deform.
Therefore, experienced craftsmen strongly recommend performing another operation. A strip of silicone sealant is applied to the cut ends of the opening, and then distributed so that the entire cut is densely covered with this composition.
After that, without waiting for the sealant to cool, you can proceed to install the sink or hob.
Fixing the kitchen sink in the countertop window can be done in different ways, depending on its model.
Most often, such sinks are attached to the back of the countertop using special adjustable hook brackets that are included in the delivery.
On the underside of the support sides of the sink, before installing it in the prepared opening, it is necessary to apply a layer of sealant, which will close the gaps formed between the sink and the countertop and prevent water from flowing.
Before the final installation of the tabletop, its cut ends must be closed with special aluminum plates that exactly repeat the shape cross section panels.
These pads come in left and right.
A strip of silicone sealant is applied to the end before installing the lining ...
... which is then spread over the entire surface in an even layer.
This is easy to do with a finger dipped in soapy water.
After that, the overlay is installed, set exactly along the edges and fixed with self-tapping screws - for this, holes are provided on it.
Everything, the butt is protected.
Similarly - on the other edge of the countertop.
Next, the tabletop is installed on the assembled floor structure the headset and is fixed with self-tapping screws from their inside through the crossbars, which were discussed above.
Of course, the countertop is always striving to be made solid, that is, consisting of one piece. The length of standard panels (up to 4000 mm) usually allows this.
On a straight section, it is best to do without joints. But if the headset has an angular configuration, then you will have to make a perpendicular joint.
The gaps between the individual parts of the tabletop are closed with a bar specially designed for this purpose.
Installing the bar - by analogy with the end. But in this case, this connecting part already has a somewhat named configuration, which ensures the docking of a rounded front side with a cut end.
You can decorate the edge of the tabletop adjacent to the wall in different ways.
Some prefer to frame the worktop with a special skirting board, others with a strip of the same material from which the countertop is made (as shown in the illustration).
Still others, even as an apron, are fixed on the wall with a whole tabletop panel with a figured edge up, joining it with a horizontal surface.
To install wall cabinets, special adjustable hangers can be used, on which you can move the cabinet along the metal profile, and also draw it closer to the wall, removing an unnecessary gap between the surfaces.
To fix the hangers on the cabinet, it is necessary to cut slots-nests for them in its back wall.
Brackets are inserted into them and screwed from behind to its side wall.
The brackets fixed on the cabinet are inserted into the profile, which is pre-fixed on the dowels to the wall along the entire length of the headset and, of course, is aligned strictly horizontally.
Thanks to the profile, all cabinets will be located on the wall at the same level, and they can be slightly moved if necessary during final installation the entire headset.
The table drawers are assembled according to the same principle as the floor cabinets and wall cabinets. The difference lies in the fact that four walls of the structure are fastened together.
To facilitate the process, it is recommended to mark the workpieces, that is, on the parts to be fastened, mark the area of ​​\u200b\u200btheir junction, setting one of them with the end face to the edge of the other, and then draw a line with a pencil.
Further, in the marked area with a thin drill, it is necessary to mark two holes, exactly in the middle between the edge and the drawn line, departing from the upper and lower edges of the workpiece by 20 ÷ 25 mm.
The same process must be done with another part of the box - these will be its front and rear walls.
Further, the parts with drilled holes are pressed against the end of the side walls, and through drilled holes fastened together with furniture screws.
When all four walls of the cabinet are interconnected, the bottom of the structure, made of fiberboard or plywood, is nailed with nails 20 mm long.
At the same time, the resulting box will be "automatically" aligned strictly in the shape of a rectangle.
If you plan to store fairly heavy kitchen utensils in the drawer, then the bottom can be screwed with 3 × 20 mm self-tapping screws in increments of about 50 mm.
Drawer guides are usually attached to the lower side edge of the drawer.
But there are other designs of such skids.
In any case, they must be combined with the mating parts of the mechanism, fixed on the walls of the cabinet cabinet.
The bottom drawer is installed first.
After the operation of the sliding mechanism is checked, the drawer is removed from the body for mounting the front panel and handle on it. The width of the front lining must be equal to the width of the pedestal body.
First, the location of the handle is marked, then the facade is fixed on the front wall of the box with the help of clamps, and according to the marking, through holes are drilled through both panels.
Further, two holes are drilled from the inside of the box, which should be located at a distance of 80 ÷ 100 mm from the side edges. Holes in the wall of the drawer should be through, and in the front panel they should be deepened by 8 ÷ 10 mm. The hole diameter should be 8 mm.
Then, glue is poured into the hole, and wooden dowels are carefully hammered.
At the last stage, a handle is screwed to the box with screws from the inside, which will pull the wall and facade together.
Clamps are best removed after the glue has dried.
When the bottom drawer is completely ready and installed, the same process is carried out with the drawer that will be located above it. But facade panel, of course, is fixed on it, taking into account the height of the facade of the lower drawer.
In the same way, the installation of other retractable parts of the structure is carried out.

Regardless of the size, kitchens are certainly divided into two zones. The first is for cooking, and the second is considered dining. In the working area, there must certainly be a sink, a stove, an extractor fan and a couple of tables for comfort. Many try to supplement this zone with other elements: dishwasher microwave and other kitchen appliances to simplify the cooking process.

Of course, there are a lot of objects and all this should be comfortably placed in a very limited area. In this case, the salvation will be the installation of a corner kitchen, which makes it possible to rationally use the space. Assembling a corner kitchen is not an easy task, but you can still install it yourself.

Mounting the kitchen

It is better to install the headset after all the cabinets are assembled. For convenience, it is better to fix the doors last - this way you simplify the installation process. The installation process begins with the preparation of all holes in the walls.

Placement should be carefully monitored during installation. If not installed correctly, the kitchen will look inappropriate in the future.

Keep a straight line of all outer and lower cabinets so that they are on the same level. If the installation is not accurate, then the doors may not close or stand unevenly, so adjust them well before fastening all the drawers together.

Step by step installation

Assembling a kitchen set with your own hands requires careful preparation. To avoid mistakes, you should carefully plan everything and only after that proceed with the installation process.

  • The first step is to make a drawing, where to think over the design, dimensions and layout of the corner kitchen to the smallest detail. L-shaped kitchen set will be an excellent solution for both small-sized kitchens and large areas.
  • Purchase of materials and cutting. When choosing a material, you should pay attention not only to beauty, but also to quality. Cutting and detailing are necessary to have a clear idea of ​​which parts to cut. Only after that you can proceed to the installation of the furniture itself.
  • Preparation of tools and surfaces. Naturally, tools will be needed for collection, but in addition, when installing a corner kitchen, you need to prepare the walls and make them even. After all, all joints of the headset should be connected exclusively at an angle of 90 degrees.
  • After all the preparations, you need to assemble the corner cabinet. This detail is always assembled first, because it is the main one.
  • After mounting the corner, you can begin to assemble the remaining elements of the headset.

Assembly sequence

Each detail of the headset is nothing more than a wooden box (they differ only in size and shape). In order to fully assemble the kitchen, it is enough to learn how to assemble one cabinet, and you can assemble the rest using the studied technology.

If you are new to this business, then be sure to study the instructions for the standard assembly - the use of each part is clearly spelled out there.

After all the cabinets and drawers are assembled, you need to install all this, but this business also has its own characteristics and you need to follow the sequence.

  • Mounted first corner cupboard, in most cases it comes with a sink.
  • Then, focusing on the corner cabinet, install all the floor boxes. Immediately adjust their height and connection angle.
  • After adjustment, the cabinets are fastened together using self-tapping screws or ties.
  • Fix the countertop and sink.
  • Proceed to the assembly and fastening of hanging boxes. Before attaching them, adjust the height for comfortable use.
  • Attach all the doors and screw the baseboard.

Corner mounting

Correct installation the corner cabinet with a sink lies in accurate calculations, it is for this reason that it is installed in the first place. An important feature is the opening for the sink and the layout of the pipeline, which supplies water to the sink and drain to the drain. With this layout, it is best to use a pipe without a back wall in order to provide access to the pipes. Then the rigidity for the structure is provided by special screeds.

As for the upper corner cabinet, the assembly of this drawer is no different from the standard assembly of ordinary cabinets with doors. The main thing is to observe a right angle when installing - it will be much easier for you to install the remaining cabinets.

Cabinet assembly

Consider the cabinet assembly procedure.

  • Screw the fastener onto the side wall of the cabinet. It is necessary to drill small holes for self-tapping screws, with their help to fasten the mount.
  • In addition, holes also need to be drilled on the walls of the drawers - it is on them that the rail will be attached. If you do not do this in advance, then when installing the kitchen set, difficulties may arise with this process.
  • Where the box has a blind hole, a wooden chopik (dowel) should be inserted. This will help to assemble the box frame evenly and significantly increase the strength of the structure.
  • Only after careful inspection and making sure that the structure is assembled evenly, it is possible to fix the parts with a screw and a hexagon. To hide the screw head and give the headset an aesthetic look, they put on a plug on top to match the kitchen.
  • If the cabinets have legs, then they should be screwed and set to the required level.
  • After the assembly of the box is completed, a sheet of fiberboard is nailed to the side wall with the help of small nails.
  • As for the hanging drawers, you need to attach fittings to them, with which they will cling to the wall. It is best to use adjustable awnings.

Advantages

Of course, buying a kitchen set will save you the hassle, but it will not be able to meet all your requirements. Standard sets are on sale - they are not designed for some features of your kitchen. Benefits of making your own:

  • the main advantage will be the cost of the kitchen, which will cost half as much as a finished or custom-made one;
  • the ability to make a non-standard model - you can take into account all the features;
  • with proper calculations and assembly, headsets will last for many years;
  • you can choose very original design beyond the standard perception.

Modern and cozy kitchen, equipped with the latest generation of household appliances - the dream of any housewife. After all, it is not without reason that the kitchen has long been considered the hearth of family comfort, where dining table the whole family gathered, so the kitchen is an important and indispensable part of our home. Modern kitchen furniture will help expand it functionality, as well as create a comfortable environment and give an exceptional design. Assembling a kitchen set is a paramount task after carrying out repair work in the room itself.

The kitchen differs from other rooms in the house in that it has, as a rule, the smallest area, and the number household appliances overflows in it. The smaller the kitchen, the more difficult it is to equip it, assemble a kitchen set, connect a stove, hood and other household appliances. Yes, and you need to do all this so that it remains comfortable and functional.

It is worth immediately understanding that in order to assemble a kitchen set with your own hands, you will need a huge amount of effort, tools and patience. You will need not only to thoroughly study the mechanisms of the headset, but also to prepare the premises for the installation of furniture and appliances. But at the same time, you will get a great experience, as well as save money, since the price of assembling a kitchen set can be quite high.

The most important step, of course, is the measurement of the kitchen space. It is worth paying attention to the fact that measurements of the area and engineering communications schemes should be as accurate as possible, otherwise the manufactured set will simply become unsuitable for your kitchen.

The preparatory stage ends on the alignment of walls, floors and ceilings, as well as on finishing and cladding special blends. In addition, immediately before installing the kitchen set, any electrical installation work on the installation of switches, sockets and power supply channels for household appliances must be completed. Corners of the room, kitchen apron and floor plinth must also be ready before assembling and installing kitchen furniture.

In order for you to be able to assemble the kitchen yourself, you will need the following minimum list of tools and materials:

  • Screwdriver - it does not matter at all what power and quality the tool will be. Its purpose is to simplify and speed up the assembly process;
  • Perforator. It is useful if you want to hang wall cabinets on a concrete wall. In case of wooden wall, a screwdriver with a drill will be enough;
  • Hacksaw, jigsaw or similar sawing tool. This will be needed in order to saw off the countertop or cut a hole for the sink;
  • A hex key for furniture installation will not become superfluous, which, as a rule, the manufacturer provides complete with fittings;
  • A set of standard household tools: a hammer, a screwdriver, a tape measure, pliers, a knife, a level, a corner and others.

Assembly of floor and wall cabinets

Thanks to detailed instructions to assemble a kitchen set with your own hands, you can easily cope with this task. In almost every finished furniture fitting there are, which are assembled very simply: mark the holes for the fasteners, then drill the selected parts and fasten them together. Thanks to this, all parts and furniture elements will be securely fastened and will not move or move. In some cases, each part can be attached separately and in stages. Due to this type of assembly, you will have to adjust the assembly during the process and adapt to your particular type of kitchen set.

If your kitchen set has an angular or parallel structure, first assemble cabinets and cabinets that should be against one wall.

In any fittings initially assembled floor cabinets and main box. They are connected quite simply: the side racks are attached to the bottom, after which the countertop is mounted. At a distance of 6-7 cm from the edge, internal shelves or drawers are mounted on roller guides. Precisely according to this principle, curbstones and tall pencil cases of the kitchen set are assembled.

Scheme of assembly of a floor cabinet of a kitchen unit

Collect upper part kitchen fittings is much more difficult, because it is very important to correctly determine the high-rise on which the headset will be mounted. Most often, wall cabinets are hung at a distance of 50-60 cm from the countertop with an allowable rate of 45 cm.

For hanging wall cabinets, a mounting rail is used, which either comes with the headset or is purchased separately. This auxiliary material consists of two parts, one of which is attached to the wall, and the second - to the back of the cabinet. By docking the hook holder with the groove, you will securely fix the headset in the position you need. This fastening technology is very convenient, because thanks to it you can not only adjust the position of the cabinet, but also quickly and easily dismantle it if necessary.

Installation process of floor cabinets

We smoothly moved from assembling a kitchen set to installing it. Base cabinets, cabinets and kitchen pencil cases- Fundamental cuisine. They are installed first. We single out the following installation steps for outdoor kitchen furniture:

  1. Install first floor side cabinet, which is often a sink. This closet is the center of all communications, so the necessary holes for pipes and hoses should be made in advance.
  2. After installing the sink cabinet, they are mounted other floor cabinets. They are immediately adjustable in height, width and aligned with each other.
  3. After you have installed all floor furniture, you must connect it together to make a complete set. An intersection furniture coupler or 30 mm self-tapping screws will do the job perfectly. It would be more appropriate to use the first option, since when fastening with self-tapping screws, the bolts can come out right with the "roots". Using an intersection screed, 4 ties for floor fittings and 2 for hanging fittings will be enough.

Mounting and installation of the sink

Preparation, installation and fastening of the sink into the finished countertop takes place in several stages:

  • In order to mount the sink into the countertop, you will have to cut a hole in it that matches the shape of the shelf. To do this, mark up as accurately as possible, after which you will get a hole of the required shape. Using a jigsaw or a hand saw, you can get a hole exactly suitable for mounting the sink;
  • This should be done before attaching and installing the countertop;

Do not attempt to cut a sink hole yourself. There is a possibility that when cutting, an unnecessary piece will fall off, damaging the front surface or the entire countertop. Use an assistant to hold the sawn off piece or stick masking tape on the outside - then the piece will remain hanging on it.

  • Installing a conventional one, and not, will cost you much less and require much less effort.

Fastening and installation of countertops and installation of wall panels

  • First, you should mark the table top, making a 1 cm overlap from the edges in advance. Try to attach the countertop directly to the wall. Even if there is a gap, it can be easily hidden with a plinth;
  • Using a jigsaw with fine teeth, saw off unnecessary edges and fit the countertop to size;
  • If yours, a special metal bar is used to fasten the tabletops, which is attached to the end of the tabletop and closes the gap between the tables;
  • The ends that remained "bare" near the plate should also be covered with a metal film, and in places isolated from heat, furniture edges can be used.
  • The tabletop itself is fastened with self-tapping screws. Basically, it is attached with a protrusion from the edges of the furniture by 3 cm, but this is done solely at your discretion.

Today, many people use glass covering, mosaic or tile on the wall between the fittings to protect against burning, soot and grease. If you are not one of these "many", then use wall panels, which will reliably protect the surface of your kitchen. They are fastened very simply - on running dowels, which are located 1 cm from the edge. The only drawback and difficulty in the installation of such coatings is the need to cut holes for sockets, which can only be made using a nozzle crown.

To maximize the life and proper operation of your kitchen, you should process the cracks in the furniture silicone sealant which will prevent the ingress of moisture.

Fixing wall cabinets

  • First you need to measure at least 50 cm from the end of the countertop, then measure the height of the wall cabinet and draw a fastening line;
  • Fix the bar for adjustable hangers;
  • Hang the cabinet itself on the grooves, hooking on the holes with hooks. In order for the cabinet to hang as tightly as possible, two bolts can be adjusted by loosening or tightening them accordingly;
  • Installation of wall cabinets always starts from the corner. If there are irregularities on the wall, it is necessary to use a false panel, which will easily hide the flaws in the layout;
  • Hanging cabinets, like floor cabinets, are fastened with ties.

What are the nuances of assembling a kitchen set with your own hands?

Firstly, you will need a lot of tools that not every person keeps at home: a building level, a screwdriver, a drill, a tape measure, an angle, a hammer, self-tapping screws, and the like. Despite the wide range and huge variety of modern kitchen fittings, installation is carried out according to the same principle. First, floor elements are mounted, then suspended ones. After that, the final stage is carried out - the installation of doors and household appliances.

Assembly of kitchen cabinets

Let's talk about the collection of cabinets for the kitchen in the form of a sequence of actions.

  1. We attach cross-like fasteners for doors to the side walls. They are screwed with two self-tapping screws into pre-prepared holes.
  2. Rails for drawers are also inserted into pre-prepared holes. In the future, during assembly, it will be extremely inconvenient to do this.
  3. Further, we insert dowels made of wood into all through holes (they are also called chopiks or dowels). They reinforce the structure, creating a solid frame.
  4. We look to see if the cabinet is level, and after that we screw in a furniture screw with a hexagon. He pulls 2 parts together. From above we put on a cap that will be combined with the color of the furniture.
  5. We fasten the legs (if any) and set the desired height.
  6. We nail a sheet of fiberboard to the side wall with the help of small nails that come with the kit.
  7. On wall cabinets we fix fittings for fixing on the wall using adjustable canopies. They are attached from the inside to the side walls close to the upper corners.

Assembly of wall cabinets

Install the hinges first. We mark the place of attachment on the side and the door. We add these two elements on a flat surface (table, floor), combining the marks. We attach the loops that come with the kit, fasten. We put something under the door so that it is at the same level. We fasten the loop, then disassemble it, unscrewing the screw and putting the doors aside. Next we will work with the sidewalls.

We attach the top and bottom to the side panels on confirmations (complete with a hexagon). If there is an appropriate bit, we put it on the screwdriver. Otherwise, we work with the usual key.
We fold the top and side, install the fasteners, then the bottom, and then the second panel.

Turn the fiberboard sheet over with the outer side down (it is the back wall). We pierce the fiberboard with small carnations with a construction stapler.

Shelf holders come in different material, but are fixed according to the same principle - in wall holes. Sometimes chopsticks are used (hammered, followed by an emphasis on the shelf). But most metal stops are simply installed in the hole.

Assembling a cabinet with drawers

First of all, we assemble a frame of 3 panels, that is, we work in the same way as with ordinary cabinets. We insert the dowels into the holes and connect the boards. We tighten them with furniture screws together.

To make the bottom of the box, we insert a sheet of fiberboard into the grooves (in no case use MDF sheets!).

Now we fix the facade with ties. The screws are screwed into the facade panel, the opposite tips are placed in the holes in the sidewalls. The eccentric bushings are a means of fixation. They need to be put in a special place left by the manufacturer and rotated. Thus, they are fixed.

To the bottom at the back without fail we fasten the guides with rollers. Then we insert the boxes and check if the mechanism works well.

Features of the assembly of the corner cabinet

Only one feature can be noted here. The fact is that inexpensive kitchen sets have a two-piece bottom (this allows you to reduce the cost). If you plan to install a sink in the cabinet, then the back wall in this case is almost absent. Collets are responsible for the strength of the structure. In all other respects, the assembly of corner kitchen furniture coincides with the assembly of ordinary cabinets with two doors.

This completes the assembly instructions for the kitchen set. Now consider the installation technology in place.

How to hang cabinets in the kitchen

Even before assembling kitchen furniture, you should buy special canopies and intersectional furniture ties for attaching wall cabinets. We have already figured out how to properly assemble a kitchen set. Now it remains to install it in place. Hanging cabinets are attached to the wall with awnings. They are metal plates with holes. Galvanized steel is more expensive than regular steel.

simple awnings

The height of the furniture depends on the level of the ceilings and the size of the cabinet. Standard height between worktop and wall cabinet- from 50 to 60 cm. If the height of the kitchen owner is not high or the door opens up, then a height of ~ 45 cm is selected, but not less.

Fastening sequence:

  1. Step back from the countertop and mark it on the wall. Climb up to the height of the cabinet and mark the fastening line.
  2. Make holes and fasten the tire. Hang adjustable hangers on the tire. The most durable attachment is with anchors.
  3. Hang the furniture on the rail using the hooks. Tighten the 2 hanging bolts to ensure that the cabinet fits snugly against the wall.
  4. Installation starts from the corner. If the wall has an angle greater than 90 degrees, install a bezel to eliminate the unevenness.
  5. If required, fasten the structure with ties.

A big disadvantage of such a mount is the impossibility of regulation. If hung, then it will not be possible to move to the wall or move away from it. Another disadvantage is that a separate hook is required for each canopy.

Adjustable

This is a more complex and expensive design. The body is made of plastic, the canopy is made of metal. There is a regulatory system. This allows you to move furniture in 4 directions: up, down, left, right. Canopies are attached to the inner side of the cabinet. A small hole is made in the back wall. Together with the canopies, there is a rail or a mounting bar. They are mounted on the wall, hooked on the upper ledge of the hooks. This design is very convenient. The load capacity of one canopy is from 25 to 50 kg.

How to install a kitchen set

The layout of the kitchen assembly can be selected individually. It doesn't matter in what order the cabinets are installed. But what matters is where the installation will take place from. It's best to start from the corner. The harmony of the entire single structure and the speed of work will depend on how evenly and correctly you hang the first element.

As already mentioned, the mounting height depends on the height of the users of the headset. When hanging, a horizontal line is drawn with a bubble or water level. If you do not want to draw, you can build a plane at the desired height using a level or plane builder. They set the upper edge of the mounted strip or the alignment of standard canopies.

The task seems simple, but at the same time difficult - to place all the cabinets so that the vertical lines are perpendicular to the floor, and the horizontal lines are parallel to the walls. If you did everything exactly like this, then there should be no problems during operation.

The kitchen consists of separate cabinets, but it should hang in a fastened form, since this is one set. There are 2 ways to do this. Hang the elements that were originally fastened or fasten the already hung ones. The first option is not very convenient, because it is difficult to hang even 2 fastened cabinets alone.

The elements of the headset are interlocked with each other with the help of intersection screeds. At least 2 ties are required per wall. They are placed just above or below the loops. The walls of the two cabinets are fastened with clamps, a through hole is made along the diameter of the screed, into which the fasteners are pulled and tightened with a screwdriver.

How to install a countertop on a kitchen set

To complete the installation of the kitchen set, you need to place the last element - the countertop.

Regardless of the material chosen (fibreboard, MDF, artificial stone), the installation steps are the same.

  1. Based on the measurements taken, cut out the sheet. All excess is cut with a jigsaw or a hacksaw by hand.
  2. Next, we lubricate all the ends with a silicone-based sealant, put an aluminum bar on top and level it. We fix the bar with small screws.
  3. We decorate the closed edge of the surface with an edge tape. First you need to warm it up, then attach and cut off the excess. After gluing, the edges are polished.
  4. By building level adjust the legs of the cabinets. If they cannot be adjusted, place plastic shims under them.
  5. We fill the rear upper edge with sealant from above. The back end is generously lubricated with silicone. We fix plastic or metal corners in the cabinet under the sink.
  6. Carefully lay out the countertop on the cabinets and press it against the wall, or leave a small indent (about 5mm).
  7. Will carry out directly fastening of a table-top to a kitchen set. To do this, we screw in self-tapping screws with a diameter of 30 and 16 mm (the latter are under the sink).
  8. Now we can place the baseboard on the sides and in the corner between the backsplash and the countertop. If corner fastening is made, then the connecting seam is masked aluminum profile. Custom kitchens usually have a common work surface for the lower cabinets. The factory ones have a separate top, so you need to connect the countertops. All the necessary cuts are made in the plane, the connection elements are inserted into the grooves and tightened.
  9. We cut a hole for the sink, if required by the layout.

The nuances of assembling a kitchen set

To get an even broader answer to the question of how to assemble a kitchen yourself from purchased material, let's look at the small intricacies of this process.

  • Installation always starts from the corner of the room.
  • Collect all the cabinets one by one so that there is no confusion in the details.
  • The distance from the wall to the countertop leaves about half a centimeter.
  • Hang boxes without doors, this will simplify the work.
  • All drawer guides are attached to the inner side faces before the structure is assembled.
  • If you can’t figure out the installation, look at the photos and videos on this topic. In extreme cases, you can contact the specialists of Moscow or your locality.
