6. Installation of panels.
1 Door thickness.
Measure the thickness of the doors & drawer
fronts , this + 1mm is the distance you want
the panels to overhang the cabinet by. ’IE’
16mm + 1mm = 17mm.
Caution, Walk in corner pantries require that
the overhang is to be 20mm. Follow the
instructions for walk in pantries
2 Marking the panel.
Clamp the panel to the cabinet keeping it
parallel to the front edge of the cabinet . Now
measure the distance and subtract the
required panel overhang . Now cut a scribing
block to this measurement & scribe a line
onto the panel. You may need to scribe panels
to fit to the floor as well.
Tip, You can wrap the ends of your G clamps
in duct tape to avoid marking the face of the
panels. Also if the panels are of a high gloss
material you may need to use duct tape along
the edge of the panel to be marked.
3 Planning panels.
Use a sharp electric hand planer.
Caution, Ensure when planning the sides of
the panels that the planer is always cutting
into the edged top & bottom edge strips ,
Failure to do so will result in the edge strip
coming loose or coming off.
Tip, By placing the fixing screws under the
centre of the hinge plates you will not see any
trace of the screws.
