But more demanded yet is the built-in wardrobe in the hallway. Indicative is the fact that a significant number of companies kindly offer the purchase of ready-made sliding-door wardrobes.

Here they are, these handsome men - built-in wardrobes!

How to create a built-in wardrobes

Of course, such an offer is convenient, but the cost of the proposed cabinets is significant, so the only way out is to make a built-in closet with your own hands. The assembly of built-in cabinets according to the schemes and drawings is quite evident and carries out according to a strict scheme. In the process of drawing up working drawings, it is necessary to correctly calculate the distance between the shelves and determine their number. There are certain rules for the design of built-in cabinets. It is preferable to use light colors and colors for small rooms for cabinet doors.


Vertical stripes in the design of the cabinet doors help visually increase the height of the ceiling. For some time the mirror doors were considered a way to expand the space. However, the visual increase in the volume of space mirror doors practically do not affect. Therefore, a fresh alternative to mirrored doors is a light glossy plastic.

Especially popular among owners of non-standard vestibules use built-in corner cabinets. Thanks to the angular configuration, many problems are solved, allowing you to skillfully spend a small square meter room. But that is not all! Corner cabinets can perfectly mask technical defects of premises, which in our apartments abound.

The capacity of the corner cabinet amazes the imagination, and this problem corner has been completely removed, falling out of the general harmony.
  The corner cabinets of the coupe can be used advantageously not only for clothes. Good storage allows you to hide from prying eyes large objects that are used seasonally.

Stages of installation of a compartment of the compartment the hands

The main stages of the installation of the cabinet are:
  • preparatory
  • installation of profiles to the walls
  • Arrangement of the inside of the cabinet
  • installation of profiles to door leaves
  • installation of rollers
  • installation of sliding doors

The initial stage of the installation of the wardrobe is the preparation and layout of the location. The space is cleared, the working surface is leveled if necessary and the installation of the guides is marked. As a guide, preference is given to aluminum profiles. Performance characteristics of aluminum profiles fully ensure the design of built-in cabinets strength.


Such profiles in comparison with steel are much lighter and have anticorrosion properties. The use of an aluminum profile gives the cabinet stability and is not exposed to moisture. The profile of a golden or silvery color always looks neat and stylish. The following aluminum profiles are distinguished:
  • vertical asymmetric
  • Vertical symmetrical
  • horizontal average
  • horizontal top and bottom
  • Top and bottom guides.

After installing the profiles and guides, the interior of the cabinet begins to be fitted. This is the installation of a variety of shelves. Preference is given to laminated chipboard as a material for shelves. Self-tapping screws and corners are used to secure the shelves to the walls. Sawing of the material can also be made independently, but it will be possible to order at specialized enterprises. It will still be much cheaper than buying a cutting tool for fabulous money. Assembling the internal frame of the cabinet-compartment is carried out with the installation of the lower shelf.

The lower shelf will play the role of the floor in the closet. After installing the bottom shelf, secure the cabinet walls. In this case, the side boards to the bottom shelf and walls are attached using dowels. And now a little trick! Now it is necessary to assemble a structure consisting of 2 horizontal and one vertical crossbars. All the structures must be fastened with self-tapping screws.
  After the assembly and installation of the frame of the sliding-door wardrobe, the sliding doors are assembled and fastened.

Now you can start installing and securing the rollers. For proper installation of the rollers, special mounting screws are twisted. Large rollers are installed at the bottom, small ones at the top. Installation screws must be tightened, thus securing the door leaf and profile.

The most difficult manipulation during installation and assembly of the built-in closet with your own hands is the installation of sliding doors. Well, we can not do without outside help! In order for the door leaves to stand up clearly in place, the distribution of gravity must be uniformly distributed.

Therefore, faithful and reliable hands will help fasten to the ceiling guides and door leaves. And the final chord of the installation of the built-in cabinet is the check of the operability and functioning of the sliding doors. If necessary, the adjusting screws are adjusted and the mobility of the upper and lower rollers is improved. If after building the cabinet and installing the door a gap between the wall and the door is still formed, it is necessary to correct the position of the bolt securing the rollers to the canvas. This is a special adjusting function of the bolt, which smoothly removes the defect.

The thorough installation process of the built-in closet is independently presented in the video.
