According to IKEA recommendations
By following these steps, you will achieve a secure and stable installation of side panels on your furniture.
Necessary Tools
- Side panel to install
- For base or tall cabinets of ⤡ 60 cm depth, they usually measure ↔ 62.3 cm to align with the front, or 64,6 if it is an island.
- For wall cabinets of ⤡ 37 cm depth, they usually measure ↔ 39.6 cm to align with the front.
- For PAX wardrobes, they usually measure ↔ 60.5 or ↔ 37.5 cm to align with the front door depending on whether the structure measures ⤡ 58 or ⤡ 35 cm in depth.
- Screws PZ up to 3.5 cm in length
- Clamp
- Drill or screwdriver
Instructions
1. Panel Placement
- Position the side panel correctly, aligned with the side of the cabinet, protruding 2 cm or so to absorb the front face. If it is an island, it will have to protrude 2 cm on each side.
- Use a clamp to firmly hold the panel against the furniture frame. This will prevent movement during installation.
2. Fixing with Screws
- For base or wall cabinets: Attach the panel from inside the cabinet using 2 screws (one at the top and one at the bottom).
- For tall cabinets: Use 4 screws for better stability (two at the top and two at the bottom).
3. Review and Adjustments
- Ensure the panel is properly aligned.
- Carefully remove the clamp.
- Make sure the screws are properly tightened but not excessively to avoid damage.
