How It Gets Done

Flat Pack Assembly — Done Properly

The habit of sorting every fixing before assembly begins is the difference between a solid piece of furniture and one that wobbles. It takes a few minutes and saves significant time later.

The Process

Fixings Sorted First — Herne Bay

Five labelled polythene hardware packets laid out and checked against the parts list before assembly began in Herne Bay. Bolts, dowels, cam locks, shelf pins — all identified and counted. The instruction booklet checked for anything non-standard.

Most flat pack problems come from fixings being confused, missed, or rushed. Taking five minutes to sort the hardware before starting means the assembly runs straight through without stopping to hunt for a missing cam nut on the last panel.

Hinges and Adjustment

Cabinet Hinge Fitting — Whitstable

A soft-close European concealed hinge fitted to a fitted wardrobe in Whitstable. Hinge cup installed in the door, mounting plate on the carcass, arms and adjustment screws set.

Hinges are the most common source of complaints about flat pack furniture assembled without care — doors that don't align, that spring open, that sag. Getting them right means setting all three adjustment axes: depth, height, and lateral. Done once, done properly.
